Get a cook top. Even nice ones are like 100 bucks. Even induction ones and compatible pans are cheap. Five or six fast food visits and you could've bought enough to cook a massive variety of cheap meals.
But this is the main problem. It's boots theory all over. For people living paycheck to paycheck the calculation of "if I don't eat for a week I can invest into myself" doesn't sound as appealing as for people who can afford to do a little bit of savings.
Thankfully, I'm in pretty good position, I don't live in US, so my diet consists of food, not of sugar and sawdust. I do have an induction cooktop, and can confirm it's indeed amazing. My enormous privilege aside, I would like to some day get into the oven territory.
