Corn salad using Israeli pickles and a red pepper for color. Dress with mayo, garlic and onion powders and a little pepper.

Cou-cous salad with the corn and chickpeas - also add chopped green onion, diced roasted (or fresh will do) red pepper, chopped parsley or cilantro. Season with some olive oil, lemon and/or vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. I also add cumin and chile powder for southwestern flavor when I use cilantro. Keeps well in fridge and looks very colorful when served.
Corn salad like out-of-towner said but you can also just season with a drop of vinegar, oil and a bit of sugar instead of mayo. I add dill and green onion too.
With the chickpeas you can make a quick Chana Masala type dish and serve over rice.
I make a side dish of corn, green beans and red pepper cooked together just until soft and seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic and a pinch of sugar and oregano.

You can do a mexican meal, either dairy, pareve or meat. Here are some inexpensive ideas: gazpacho, vegetarian or beef or soy chili, cornbread, refried beans, fresh salsa, or make your own burrito bar.
Where I live ground beef is pretty cheap. You can stretch it by making meatballs, meat lasagna, beef chili, moussaka, or stuffed veggies (peppers, zuchinni or tomatoes).
If you can get chicken bones, then you can make a big pot of chicken soup without spending a lot of money.
