Recipe: quick pasta with tomato

Now see, the thing is, durimg the time I was 19-28, I was continually broke (getting rid of my ex, and his salary, actually made it all better, but that's another story). During part of that time we were living on a mattress in a friend's dining room, and other deeply annoying places.
Anyways, I've eaten so much cheap-ass food that my tolerance is really low. I will never again be able to eat any of the following more than once or twice a year:
Box macaroni and cheese
Ramen
Cool-aid (generic)
Cheap-ass kielbasa
Those cheap rice or pasta mixes that come in a bag
Bologna
Jarred pasta sauce (except the kind you get at Central Market that runs like $5/jar, god I'm a snob)
So I started thinking of ways to make cheap food that doesnt look or taste cheap.
Oh, buying your own fresh mushrooms in bulk instead of pre-packed, pre-sliced is about half the price and eliminates getting the styrofoam box that the recycle place near us doesn't take.
And I don't use the canned tomato that comes with the garlic and basil and whatever because 1) wow. Expensive and 2) Um, I didn't ask them to put freakin' corn syrup in my tomato mix. Fuckers.
