To save money I have a pretty restricted diet to begin with (daily: two Clif Builder's Bars, 16oz Bolthouse Farms Blended Coffee Protein Plus, maybe two cups of white rice for dinner) and I've documented that I've actually been eating more recently due to stress (rather, dipping into my next day's allotment in addition to the current day's).

I recently switched to using a free acid/creatine hcl blend from Muscle Tech called Creactor. I like it better than creatine mono, though you'd be hard pressed to find studies that show it's better. I'm stronger and I've put on 10 pounds without changing waist size.
Other than the three protein sources I mention above, I have 3g of the BCAA D-aspartic acid mixed into water, a zinc supplement, and a vitamin D-3 supplement. I got those back when I had a bit of cash and was worried I had low testosterone levels.
I'm pretty poor at the moment and it translates to a lot of belt-tightening, both literally and figuratively.
