Intro
I just wanted to share some positive lessons I have learned from hard times. Enjoy!
Breakfast
Oats
Despite having a small amount of money I was able to learn more about affordable nutritious breakfasts. In the UK I can get a KG or porridge for 40p and milk is cheap.
I started experimenting with different combinations, because plain porridge is awful. Jam, fruit, cocoa powder, raisins, sugar, honey and syrup make this dish palatable. In a survival situation is makes a very adaptable dish, which provides a lot of energy for the morning.
The most important meal is breakfast, because it sets you up for the day. Lunch and dinner meals should be smaller, many people make the mistake of eating a huge meal before bed. Then wonder why they are getting fat and have reflux, evening meals should be nutrient rich not energy rich.
Granola
Is another cheap breakfast serial, again made from grains with dried fruit mixed in. You can add a variety of things to spice it up if you want, I found it filling like porridge. About £1 for a bag in the UK.
Conclusion
Look for ways to turn negative situations to your advantage, remember that strength and weakness are relative. Although it may sound simple, thinking about food differently will happen when SHTF. I recommend spending less on expensive breakfast foods that are full of sugar, save the money for preps.

Oats.. A great slow energy releaser and.... as you say VERY cheap! Also at this time of year (Jul - Sep) you can always forage some berries, such as blackberries and add them in for free.
I sometimes have this, but without milk, just boiling water, oats and a light sprinkling of sugar...
Good thoughts!

I have them for lunch in our Summer as Bircher Muesli (sorry if I spelled that wrong). They are really nice soaked overnight in milk or fruit juice, I also add nuts, grate some apple or stewed fruit on top and have cold with yogurt or milk. They don't always have to be served hot although I love that too YUM

I love cookies that are made with oats, raisin, nuts and other dried fruit....So good and I love them on the run in the morning with a good hot coffee. Thank you for reminding me how lovely and healthy are organic oats. Blessings to you! Brother Charlz
