The idea you can't eat a healthy and cheap diet is just absurd.
This is exactly how I eat. Lean chicken breast is some of the cheapest protein.
Eggs have come back down to be a good deal.
Oatmeal, sweet potatoes and rice are cheap. Olive oil is cheap.
Walmart has frozen kale in a bag for $1.50.
People don't eat healthy because they don't want to eat healthy. It doesn't taste as good and is not as much fun.
My weekly grocery bill is not that much more than cost of eating one meal from door dash.
In term of taste, of course it sucks compared to door dash. For me, that is a feature and not a bug or else I would over eat and it wouldn't be a healthy diet.
Cheap isn’t just money to buy ingredients, but also the time to prepare them. If you are working two 8 hour shifts a day, your time and energy for cooking a real dinner might be limited.
Can't really say about the UK but the cheapest options here are in order 1) frozen chicken leg quarters and 2) an entire chicken (fresh, not frozen) which you have to break down yourself. Both options are around 3-3.5€/kg
