You buy what you can afford, cook it slowly and waste nothing.
Many pensioners grew up in this kind of environment, and through no fault of their own, are back there again.

I can see a time coming where proper home cooking makes a return to form and reconstituted rubbish from the likes of McDonalds is eschewed in favour of proper meat. Home cooking is also a damn sight cheaper.
Those of us in terraced areas only need take a glance at the chimney stacks in winter to realise that solid fuel fires are making a comeback. This is partially to do with the fact that they're far more homely than a gas fire but I suspect (as is the case in the drawing room at Rishton Towers) there is an element of prudence in there as well.
My fuel bills have dropped dramatically since the switch to smokeless fuel.
