For less than $6, I can have nine 710 calorie muffins. But the cost to my health to eat that much pure sugar with extremely little nutrition and like zero protein?

But that'd breakfast for 9 days for less than $7 (including tax.)

People who say eating healthy is cheaper if you're willing to spend the time have never been to Sam's Club.

I eat two packets of quaker oatmeal for breakfast. That's 300 calories a morning. The box i buy from costco floats around $15 or so for 52 packets. Thats an entire months worth of breakfast and with less calories than your muffins, which means im able to achieve my daily calorie deficit easier (trying to hit 1600 every day - been doing a good job of it for the last 3 months).

I do a yogurt Smoothie (130 cals) and a cup of black coffee for first breakfast, then a carnation breakfast essentials or a muscle milk protein shake for second breakfast.

It hits my protein goals (super important- I have a very physically demanding job) but it costs more than eating garbage (or pure carbs which I can't afford to do for my health).
