I grow cayenne peppers to save money. One plant yields so many peppers that it’s legitimately profitable.
I do save money growing mint over buying it at the store, because mint is eternal. I’ve been making juleps and jelly out of the same mint plant for about 6 years now. But mostly I keep mint around because I like it.
Tomatoes? It’s not really about the money, it’s that grocery store tomatoes are designed for durability rather than flavor.

Mint is also a glorified scp attempting to breach containment and will take over the world if given a chance.
I’ve grown cayenne for the first time this year. I’ve got so many! It’s only in a 15l pot.
I dry and chip them. Three plants can keep me in red pepper flake for a year.
