Diet and budget - do they mix?

I am new to this site... just curious if anyone else is on a budget? my hours got cut back so we are trying to make the most of hubby's income for now without getting into debt while I try to find another part time job... Ideas on healthy, cheap meals please (I'm allergic to cheese and food with lots of food colouring) also, how do I get hubby on board with the whole exercise and keeping fit aspect (I signed him up, showed him how great the site is and he hasn't used it at all - he's a cook and just eats whatever all day long!)

I'm a single mom of two girls who just lost her job recently. I'm definitely on a budget and trying to do what I am able to do. I look up recipes that may have the same basic ingredients and buy those in bulk so I can save on my food purchases. Aside from that, I am a HUGE coupon queen around here (yes, one of those!) and use as many as I can. As for getting someone on board with you, I tried to get my mom on board and she's having a very hard time doing it. I haven't figured out how to get her on board just yet. lol
