      My dude, do you need some easy recipes? That can’t be good for your mental health.

          Energy drinks are expensive, health and money.

            Redbull and Monster are expensive. Venom and Unbound Energy are less than a dollar.

              A 32 oz bag of dried beans is $2. A 2 lb bag of carrots, also $2. Cook these together and you have a ton of meals

                Too bad I only have $3. Cooking my rice in Unbound Energy instead of water.

              Gently I ask, do you think there’s a reason for that?

          Oh I can give quick, easy, and cheap, with a heavy emphasis on cheap. In another comment I was gushing about carne de soya, you can get the equivalent of a pound of 90/10 ground beef for $0.97. You toss it in a slurry of sauce or seasoning and it becomes instant sausage with the exact same texture as ground pork.

          Even baring that, just adding beans and lentils into your rotation can be a game changer. Good health and sleep is the strongest act of rebellion any one person can commit to.

      Buy dried legumes to get proper protein. Both cereals and legumes have protein, but not the full set of essential amino acids. However they complement each other in this regard, hence people living their entire life on rice, beans, and some fish.

      I’d also advise looking into cheapest vegetables and making a salad out of them. Where I am, it’s potato, carrots, and beets — coincidentally the ingredients for a traditional salad. They can be cheaper than rice.
