    I am fortunate we have enough mental energy to go to stores to buy ingredients to cook our own meals most days.

      Doesn’t really matter what your mental energy is if you don’t have the money to have any other choice. Few years ago I was comfortably living on under £100 a month after paying rent for a bedroom, then putting the last £75 or so of my income into savings.
