Nah, ramen is far too low for me to stoop.
I have a good meal plan which averages to near that price per meal, and I abuse the "all you can eat" / "all you can cram in a pair of take-out boxes" policy. I also line my pockets and slip stuff in. They throw out the uneatten stuff anyways, so it's not like I'm cheating anybody.
The other way is that I know how to bargain shop for cheap home cooking stuff. At bakeries, even ones in grocery stores, the reject bread that comes out looking funny is perfectly fine to eat, but no one will buy it. If you ask, some places will sell it to you for a huge discount. I get huge loaves of bread for around 30 cents at my favorite bakery, and not your silly "sandwhich bread" neither. We're talking fresh baguettes, both hard and soft; full pound rounds of rye, pumpernickel, and white mountain bread; loaves of asiago cheese bread and savory rosemary herb stuff; delicious focacia and ciabatta; and potato breads, dinner rolls, and more. So what if they got mangled in the bread machine? It's still warm and fresh and scrumptious.
The most money I spend foodwise is on drinks, but I drink a lot of water and I know how to make my own sodas at home for cheap (taste better too). Plus, bargain shopping can get me four two liters at just a quarter each. Fruit juice I make at home sometimes, or buy when on sale. I miss orange juice, but hey, where I am nowadays it's kinda expensive to get regularly. I supplement with whatever fresh fruit I can get.
I walk most everywhere, so no gas costs, no insurance or maintenance on a car, because I don't own one. No parking tickets, no parking spot fees. No television (it's all junk these days anywho), no subscriptions to magazines, I don't see movies much at all (again, junk) and when I do it's with coupons and "student" pricing. I don't smoke or drink, so no costs there, and I have no medications. I wear all my clothes fully before doing laundry and I never do half-loads.
I might invest in a bike one of these days, in order to be able to go farther out than walking, but for now I'm happy with having everything I need on or around campus. Plus, there's a ton of pretty parks and residential areas to walk through, and lots of driving friends to bum rides off of when I do want to get into the city or something. Aside from that, a robust computer and a (until recently) decent internet connection that came with my room payment and I'm set.
