a three dollar peach, what in the hawaii cost of living
if you're worried about not getting enough healthy foods, do frozen fruits and veg and get them through smoothies. fortified "alternative" milks can also be cheaper than real milk (which is crazy, but that's neither here nor there). fortified oat milk is like $2 cheaper where i am than a smaller container of milk-milk.
when i was broke and afraid i wouldn't get enough plant-based nutrients, i looked for "green/superfood" mixes on sale on amazon or places like marshalls. they taste like you'd expect, but if you disguise them in fruit/peanut butter smoothies they're fine. i would definitely recommend sweetener to hide the flavor further, but you can buy stuff like monk fruit in bulk now to keep it healthy.
frozen spinach is your friend though, the nutrient profile is almost the same as fresh, and it tends to be very cheap.
