Smaller pack sizes cost more per unit! People think they're saving money that way. They often aren't.
When you are stressed (because you have limited time, money and energy) you make poor decisions. I would humbly suggest that you start engaging with more poor people and help educate them. (And I don't mean shouting advice as you walk by)

Re: "You can get 2,000 calories for a couple bucks." Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Can you please let us know how can you get 2,000 calories for $2?
I lived off $2/day in food for a few years in the US. Oat flour, protein powder, oil, and a multivitamin. My approach was a little more engineered than most people's would be, but definitely possible if maybe you expanded it to $3/day or $4/day.

I'm a little surprised you didn't get scurvy, or have bone health issues (because of a lack of calcium or vitamin K2), have electrolyte imbalances, or have imbalances in fiber and essential fatty acids. But good for you. Thank goodness we don't base nutritional advice on anecdotal evidence.
There was never any risk of any of those things, and if anything the diet proves out the quality of our understanding of nutrition.
