Well, there's a really basic cheap food recipe somewhere in How to Cook a Wolf by MFK Fisher, which sounds like the moral equivalent of cat food for humans, and about as dead cheap as a thing can be.
Personally, I'm rather fond of just roasting a chicken and nibbling off of it for as long as it lasts. Then you can freeze the bones along with the necks and stuff and make stock when you have enough (you can buy necks and feet and stuff and use those too. My fave roast chicken recipe involves simmering garlic and the juice of a lemon in butter and olive oil, then adding a chicken. Instead of basting, I just flip it about four times in the hour or so it takes to roast it. (the oven is preheated to 400 degrees and then turned down to 350 when the chicken goes in.) Perhaps this would be a good thing to share the oven with the quiches. Roast potatoes are also lovely. I mash them up with parmesan cheese and chicken broth. They can be done alongside the chicken.
