Lentils/legumes are cheap. There is probably no better bang for the buck. Yogurt is also cheap.

Funny you should use the word "bang". My last experiment with lentils years ago began one evening with 3 excellent bowls of very tasty lentil soup and ended slowly with 2 days' worth of "bangs", quickly followed by ostracism by my house buddies. So bad!

lol, you probably just need time for your gut bacteria to adjust. My family makes lentils for at least one meal almost every day.

Agree. All the best foods are cheap. It’s a myth that healthy food is expensive. Most of the produce isle is decorative.
