My discovery is that, instead of digging into a favorite ice cream or slice of pizza, I can improvise much cheaper and healthier by putting a can of veggies into a microwave.

What I did--and now tell you about as a frugal-living suggestion--is to simply dump a can of vegetables, such as green beans, into a microwave dish after emptying the water, plus putting a handful of cheese on top. My experience is that microwaving for only two minutes at 50% power melts the cheese and heats the green beans. And I found it very tasty.

I like this version of a snack food because it happens to be keto friendly, although some veggies are too starchy for this.

$1.09 for 2 bags of peanuts.

Which I started buying 2 for a dollar 1994-ish.

How is it runaway price increase on everything but this stuff the same price for almost 30 years?
