odium

I spent my last year of college mostly eating cheap, unhealthy, and fast to make foods and most of it was vegetarian.

• cereal
• pbj sandwiches
• ramen
• breakfast bars
• Mac and cheese
• boiled eggs
• oats
• put some rice in a rice cooker and then mix it with one of these:
  • stir fry some peanuts and add some spices + lemon
  • stir fry some peanuts and add a tamarind + spice mix
  • pickle. Comes straight from the store in a jar for a variety of fruits and vegetables. Just mix it with rice and eat, no cooking involved except turning on a rice cooker. Lasts forever.
  • make egg fried rice on the rare occasion when you have more time/ are less lazy

same, Angel's landing hike and Zion are high in my bucket list.

Close, answer is in a different comment.

of course, it's not cheap for everyone.

I've only ever seen vegetarian diets be cheaper than meat ones. Are there a significant amount of people/places for whom vegetarian/vegan diets are more expensive?

damn it, took me too long to get. Well done.

bingo

Close but a bit further north

Put the answer in another comment.

Yeah, the Texas panhandle is the flattest place I've ever been to. It's insane.

That is within weekend trip distance for me. I'll go check it out soon. Thanks for the rec.
