nns pretty much summed it all up. Keep it simple/easy to prepare.
Pasta in bulk is easy to make--that goes for the sauce too. When I used to live alone, I would cook enough pasta for weeks and just keep it in the freezer in separate microwavable/freezable tupperware. That way, you're always good to go.
Sandwiches are always easy. Can't go wrong with bread. Buy some romaine hearts and some canned crab/tuna/chicken/turkey etc. and drizzle some mayo/spices for something fast and simple. I also add boiled eggs in my sandwich spreads. The same ingredients could easily be turned into an egg/potato mash salad.
Frozen veggies are pretty convenient, but having used to work in a produce department I'm just more used to having fresh veggies even if it means a little more washing/prep. And as an added bonus I'd even suggest try to stop by a produce store at least once a week for apples/oranges/bananas for the upcoming week. You'd only be saving (realistically) a couple bucks every week, but since you're moving out I'd assume every penny counts.
I used to live with a bodybuilder and he'd basically do the same thing as me but with cuts of protein. He'd marinate enough chicken breasts for maybe 2-4 days in advance, and just take a slab out and put it in the George Foreman or the mini oven.
