I’ve had this exact same thought for so much of my life and it’s always made me feel a little better. We all get there eventually, no need to rush it, may as well just find out what comes next.

Bold chex mix is the favorite I keep going back to, but pretzels or a pistachio nut mix are great too.

I’d say sandwiches, depending on what you want to put in them. A loaf of healthy (low sugar) bread isn’t going to be the cheapest option on the shelf, but if you’re dividing the cost by the number of sandwiches you can make out of it, it still ends up amounting to a large number of really inexpensive meals. I normally just add some meat, cheese, lettuce, and tomato, and it’s very nutritional and also delicious.
