    I guess I was thinking snacks first and foremost but cheap carbs aren’t necessarily unhealthy. Protein sources are probably the most expensive and mixing in veggies is pricey on a calories/$ basis.

    But rice, beans/legumes, and a lot of other basic staple foods are pretty cheap. Eggs are back under a dollar by me at least.

    Not having the time/means to shop and prepare food makes sense, or if you’re in a food desert and don’t have much available conveniently.

      Eggs are pushing $10/doz where I am 💀

      You can absolutely put together a relatively healthy meal for reasonably cheap, I’m talking about “getting your gas cut-off” budgeting though.
