Hand-washing laundry in the sink or bathtub (or a bucket) is doable, at least for smaller things. I would not recommend it for things like bed sheets, they are too big and the water won't be hot enough. Get a pair of plastic or rubber gloves, your ordinary detergent (or wool-safe detergent for wool and silk), hot tap water and knead/swish around each item. Then empty the water, fill with new water and repeat without detergent a few times until the bubbles are gone. Squeeze and hang to dry over something the water can drip on (bathtub for example) or outdoors.

There's many more but I fear the list would get too long.

Istaria may be old and a bit obscure but it is a personal favorite of mine. It's a small mmorpg with many playable races (and playable dragons!) that features a multiclassing system. A single humanoid character can basically level any class(es) and mix and match the abilities for a custom build.

Where I live, oats or potatoes are even cheaper than beans and rice. Dairy (milk, yoghurt etc), peanuts and eggs are also cheap here. Meat is expensive but frozen is cheaper.

Anything that is in season and produced locally/in my country (and/or has excellent shelf-life) tend to be what I look for.

A bowl of oats, yoghurt and peanuts is a simple and filling staple when I don't feel like cooking something "proper".
