Preferably something that has little to no preparation required.
I mean, I guess it depends. Oats are pretty cheap, I’ll give you that. But eggs? The cheapest I can source in my area is about $2.50 a dozen, maybe less if I looked harder. That’s 20 cents an egg, and since you said eggs, plural, I’ll assume two eggs. So 40 cents, that is cheaper than my 50 cent concoction, but… eh.
I do like eggs for breakfast, and I do change up the routine on weekends. But for work days I don’t want to have to think about my breakfast, and I want to be able to eat it with one hand, so I can run.
Toast and jam is a little too much like dessert for me, not enough protein 🤷♂️
I’ll agree there are cheaper breakfasts, but there are also way more expensive ones 🤷♂️
