I know I'm not going to be able to afford a new cog and chainring, but I can afford the chain.
You can always flip the chainring over when you put on the new chain. However, if the teeth on the cog are noticeably worn, then best to just take out a link on the stretched chain, and start saving for a new drivetrain.
putting a new chain on worn teeth is worse than keeping the old chain.
