Lentils and beans are underrated. They are cheap, filling, and work in soups, bowls, and wraps.
Egg prices went crazy, so I started eating less of them. What’s your cheap high-protein food now?

Eggs used to be my easy protein, but they do not feel as cheap as they used to. What are people buying now when they want protein without spending too much?
AI Summary
Users suggested canned tuna, Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, beans, lentils, chicken thighs, tofu, and frozen edamame as budget-friendly protein options.
Answers & Discussion
Canned tuna became my backup. Not glamorous, but it is easy protein when I do not want to cook.
Chicken thighs are usually better value than chicken breast where I live. I cook a batch and use them for a few days.
I finally learned how to cook tofu properly and now I buy it often. The key is pressing it and seasoning it well.
