You're not wrong! But I felt like some people wouldn't think of split peas, and wanted to call out more than just "beans"
Good shopping list though
Only slightly related. One weird thing I noticed when moving to Japan is that peanuts and beans were way more expensive than the US. I guess the equivalent here would be moyashi (bean sprouts) and cabbage.
Interesting! What is considered the cheap source of proteins over there? Is it just soy?
soy (in the form of edamame, tofu, and natto) is probably the cheapest option. Eggs are usually next on the list for people over here.
Edit: seafood might or might not be an option before eggs depending upon where one lives. Organ meat as well as we eat heart, liver, etc. a lot here as well.
Both are good advice
I was about to reply here in the comments "shouldn't this be "malicious advice mallard"?"
If the goal of giving budgeting advice is to make people stop demanding better treatment from their employers, it is incredibly malicious.
Unions recommending/setting up carpooling and potlucks while on strike so the money they pay lasts = good
Employers telling you that minimum wage is enough if you just have four room mates and eat nothing but rice and beans = Malicious
I think the malicious mallard is red
Alright colorblind people, It's your time to shine.

Is that diet OK for growing kids or just adults?
I have no idea. There is a decent variety of foods that are 1000 calories for a dollar, and maybe combining all of them together is enough variety. But I'm not a doctor.
More variety in your diet is likely to always be superior to less. That goes for both kids and adults. The trouble with younger kids is that deficiencies can impact their development and have more severe long term consequences, and they're also less capable of seeking out foods to fill that gap.
My mom basically starved so we could eat. I remember her giving me her food regularly. I Still only ate once a day even with her sacrifices. I expect I will be doing the same at this rate so I wanna do more for them if I cam.
