Nut butter
The price here will depend greatly on the type of the nut, as items like cashew and macadamia butter are famously more expensive than your good old-fashioned peanut butter. But don’t overlook this protein source since, in addition to being nutritious and affordable, it’s also very shelf-stable so it can last a long time. If you stick to classic peanut butter, you can usually get a 16-ounce jar in the two to three dollar range, and two tablespoons of the stuff offers eight grams of protein, making it great for snacks like (obviously) peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, along with peanut butter on celery, or peanut butter with apple slices.
