For my fellow #spoonies who struggle with food intake and buy protein shake mixes or meal replacement shake mixes as a low-effort way to eat - Amazon has a 1.5 lb canister of #vegan chocolate protein powder on sale for just under $13. Vanilla flavor is also on sale for just under $16. The brand is called Purely Inspired and can be bought on food stamps
I just found out how much the Dollar Tree CEO got in compensation for FY22. I'm absolutely losing my shit right now. His pay was 760 times more than the median Dollar Tree employee's pay.

Oh btw for fellow spoonies in the U.S. - these pouch meals (and others like them) are fantastic for the days where you have no energy to prepare a meal and don't even want to get a pot/pan dirty. You microwave them in the pouch so you don't even need a bowl! These ones are all under $3, EBT-eligible, and available on Walmart's website if you need to avoid risking covid
