Need help with cheap, low sodium, no liquid meals please

So, my husband was just released from ICU with a restricted diet. 1500 mg sodium per day, 6:cups of liquid (including that of which is "in" the food itself). I'm not much of a cook, and until now, most of the foods we ate included lunch meat sandwiches, canned soup and cheap oven ready meals. We currently only own one skillet and a sheet pan for the oven. Hopefully we will be able to acquire a crockpot soon. We are religiously no pork/no shellfish . We are disabled, and require pretty easily assembled, quick cooking meals preferably. I am so struggling with this.

I've ordered eggs, potatoes, rice, a whole chicken, frozen tilapia, frozen bag of broccoli/cauliflower/carrots, a salt free garlic herb blend, and a box of low sodium veggie burgers. I'm open to new grocery ideas (please) for our next paycheck. I've never meal prepped, but I do have gallon plastic bags that I can use for prepping (no type of "Tupperware" for storage) if you have any ideas? What else can we do? What about cheap meals for a crockpot? I need strictly low budget. Please help!

Routine questions. Overkill?

I recently started tret after using a retinoid for a few months. I'm 51, relatively new to skin care. Online Derm stated it was ok to use tret every night, but I take a couple nights off for exfoliating with either glycolic acid or lactic acid. My routine:

Morning

rinse with cool water

CeraVe Hydrating Toner

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid

Ordinary Antioxidants + Vitamin C Serum

The Ordinary Niacinamide

Azelaic acid 15%

The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan

Sunscreen SPF 50 tinted sunscreen as foundation

Evening

CeraVe Micellar Water

CeraVe hydrating cleanser

CeraVe Hydrating Toner

The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid

The Ordinary Niacinamide

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream (thin layer)

Tretinoin 0.025%

CeraVe Moisturizing Cream again

Too much? Should it be less product or a different product used? So far, I get a bit of dry/tight skin on the apples of my face. Not bad though. I've started seeing some millia and small breakouts. Extra info: I sweat a lot, heading into menopause. I may start HRT.

Otc hearing aid background noise

Hi, I have mild to moderate hearing loss and cannot afford prescription HA. I was thinking about otc aids. My main issue is misunderstanding words and not being able to communicate with bacround noise. To make things worse, I work in a casino hotel. I need to be able to isolate conversation better from the background noise. I'm afraid that aids will amplify everything though. Any good ideas on an otc HA I could try out and tailor to my needs. My budget is 600 and less. Preferably less lol. Thanks!
