If you have a patch of soil with good sun exposure you can learn how to grow your own food. It's not free but you can be very thrifty while doing it. Huw Richards has published a nice book on the cheapest ways to garden.
Even in a pot on a balcony you can grow a blueberry bush. They're pretty hardy, nice looking, no thorns, the flowers are good for pollinators, and you'll be able to pick and eat fresh berries. One little bush won't produce enough at one time for a pie, but at least they don't get moldy like strawberries.
