    Depending on how small the space is you won’t be saving much money because yields aren’t as great as one might think, but it is worth trying if only for the experience and what you could learn from it.

    Tomatoes can be grown in a relatively small space with some creativity.
    Cherry tomatoes can be grown in small flowerpots around the house.
    Potatoes can be grown in planters, I’ve seen potatoes grown in planters made out of two or three tires stacked.
    Mushrooms can grown in closets.

    What I think it is most important to save some money is to learn to preserve, either what you manage to grow or whatever you can buy cheap when it is in season.

    Also I would stay away from hydroponics, those things are like taking care of a fish tank.
