Preferably something that has little to no preparation required.

    Cheap? Am I wrong in thinking most other typical breakfasts are considerably cheaper than tortillas, chicken and cheese?

    I’m talking things like oats, museli, bread/toast with jams, cheese, meats, etc, eggs.

      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 🤷‍♂️
