Eating well on a budget - esp. low carb

I'm thinking of trying a low carb type diet to see if that will get things moving for me. One thing holding me back is the higher costs of fresh veggies, lean protein, etc. It seems that high carb foods are the cheapest! (I just bought a 10 lb bag of potatoes for $2.49, but a small head of cauliflower was $4.00!). I live in a pretty "rural" area where costs are somewhat higher (and produce less available) than what you might find in a city, so I'm looking for ideas (especially from all you Atkins people!). What do you buy? How do you keep the costs down?
