This makes me wonder beyond salad dressing and granola:

What else is low effort to make and vastly better or cheaper than store-bought?

Seconding bread, especially in a temperate or cold climate, and after you’ve sorted through various recipes for compatibility. A multi day batch of five minute bread, for example, or occasional baking of really dense sour keeping bread, or overnight baguettes, or the adjustable timings-for-schedules in _Laurel’s Kitchen Bread Book_.
