you could make the claim that many such 'cheap' food approaches were 'complete'.

the trail mix is nuts, dried fruit, and chocolate. i'm not really sure why eating that on a daily basis is better than eating other cheap meals.

and i don't believe that it's really a cheap meal. my shopping experience tells me that nuts and dried fruits are expensive and getting full on them over a day would cost you more than three dollars. 6 oz of food/meal? have you tested this by eating those portions yourself for a day?
