Cheapest non-refrigerated foods that don’t need to be cooked?
For the past 6 months I have been eating peanut butter, oranges, canned vegetables, and sauerkraut with the occasional rice and beans.
I can eat pb every day and still love it, but I wanted to ask if anyone here has a suggestion for something in the same price range and calories. Keep in mind that I can’t cook anything and have no access to a fridge. I don’t actually think there is anything other than pb based on my own search, but you never know..

Meal planning
Update: I decided to purchase the Vegan Family Kitchen meal plan. I tried different programs and ChatGPT, but I don’t just need meal suggestions but some practical thinking about how to pull together dishes for the week. I think VFK does this well.
I spend so much time in recipe searching and figuring out how to make the most of the ingredients I already have. I feel like I’ve tried different things and nothing is quite like I’m looking for. I am big on whole foods and cooking from scratch as much as I can.
Do you also try to cook from scratch and are looking to get more organized with meals?
I am open to recommendations or if you’re interested in collaborating in some kind of meal plan creation. I have ideas. Let’s inspire one another and see if we can also save time!

Brown Rice, Tofu, Edamame Salad w/ Peanut Dressing
https://www.instagram.com/reel/C3kILKsrwUr/
I don't have a picture of my own right now, but I feel like I have to share this salad since I've been eating it once a day for the past month. It's really easy to meal prep. I just make the dressing and throw all the veg together and heat up leftover rice/chickpeas when I want it.
I just buy pre-shredded coleslaw mix since it's all they really have where I get my groceries, but one 12-oz bag lasts me all week. I also don't buy as much tofu since I got into tempeh, so I have it with either tempeh or chickpeas.
