Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Please do not just get your food from a venture backed corporation.
Please.
Alternative is to eat junk that takes two steps at most to make or not eat at all most days.
What about some rolls and some cold cuts and sliced cheese with some romaine? Takes only a few minutes to make a sandwich. Probably less than you would need to microwave most prepared meals.
Slow cookers can be found at estate sales for very little, usually under $10 equivalent. You can throw your preferred meat, canned beans, canned tomatoes, canned whatever you like in and let it cook overnight and usually end up with something you can freeze, reheat and eat without a big loss in taste quality. That slow cooker does all the work for you while you sleep, you just have to package it however you like.
Know anyone at work or through any other connection who likes to cook? Maybe worth thinking about if you have a skill to trade they lack. Maybe you could work out something where you provide ingredients and they meal prep for you while you provide them with a skill you have that you enjoy.
Don't eat the lead. Best of luck!
Your suggestions already require a level of planning I'm incapable of on most days. My situation is difficult (and I have only myself to blame) but thank you for trying to help.
I use a strat where I play past me off against future me as present me and through spiteful actions can achieve these things. Maybe a similar strategy can work for you. Let me give an example:
Your disgust with past you motivates you to go to the grocery store. Your pettiness toward future you means you buy ingredients instead of prepped. The future anger this engenders in a present you forced to prepare a sandwich can be fed back into the system to motivate a trip to the grocery... etc.
Never underestimate spite.
Edit: if you find yourself cackling in the produce aisle holding some weirdo hard to prepare growth you have gone too far and should dial it back.
