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.

yeah, i've been leaning into frozen sections lately. frozen 'imperfect' fruit so i can make smoothies. i'm also not above eating canned veggies out of the can just to get the benefits. beets are good. because of my food allergies/sensitivities, i can't eat a lot of anything pre-prepared in food sections, so slapping my own stuff together is a necessity. it just sucks when even the staples are getting to be overly expensive.

i got gifted a nutrabullet a few years ago and it's become my favorite thing.
