I’m broke AF, and I’m good at making bread, which is cheap,

any recommendations about what to put in them that’s also cheap AF, I mean a tier lower than cold cuts/cheese slices? that won’t give me scurvy.

ideally something appetizing and not depression fuel. I’m open to vegan friendly options too.

    It depends on what your local store has at best prices, really. Depending on where you are, you might find anything at a locally better price.

    Famously, though, the absolute cheapest sandwich that some people still love is a salt&pepper toast sandwich, literally softened butter on bread, toasted if you have a way to toast it, or maybe fried, with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, stuck between two other slices of bread. I have made it before and it’s way better than it sounds. If you’re wanting to push the price as low as possible, the salt and pepper might be gotten from fast food places’ condiment stations, maybe even the butter/margerine as well if you have the right kind of place.

    A mash sandwich is also deceptively good if you make good mash or have good condiments, and skin-on potatoes are almost always good nutritional value for money.

    Beyond that, almost any sandwich can be bulked out with leafy greens for not much cost. Great iron in spinach. Lettuce other than iceburg is mild and nutriticious so helps almost any savory sandwich. Fiber helps you feel full too.
