Eat lots of Ramen noodles. Lay off of them when you get close to your medical because that can really raise the blood pressure. Way too much sodium.
Have a roommate.
Visit thrift shops. When I was an istructor and had to move, everything I owned fit into a 89 Honda Accord. If it didn't fit, I'd sell it and buy another one at a thrift shop.
Most important, don't have a high maintenace girlfried or wife.
