If you go in low season and just arrange your flight and maybe just one nights accommodation before hand. On your first morning in Negril, take a couple hours and visit some of the smaller hotels or B&Bs, (especially those across the street from the beach if you are looking for a great deal) and ask for their best "walk in rate". Sometimes you can haggle, especially if you visit three or four places and get some price comparisons. If you find a place you like but were quoted a better price somewhere else you can mention it and sometimes the person behind the counter will match or maybe lower their quoted rate just to get you to book in with them. Once you arrange your new digs, go have breakfast and then go back to the hotel you booked for your first night only and grab your bags, check out then hail a cab and move into your new room for the duration of your stay.

If you are staying on the beach at a Non-AI sometimes a walk across the road for eats (places where many locals would stop) will see lower prices for food. It may not always be as fancy as a beachfront restaurant but if you get your food to go then just take it to the beach and eat it there.
