What food vegetable(s) should I grow that's a good balance of low effort and would save a lot of money on grocery bills?

If there was a chart of this kind of thing or a solid non-SEO-spam resource, that would be helpful, too.

if you can fight off the slugs and snails.

How do you go about doing that, by the way? I tried growing lettuce once. Completely, absolutely RIDDLED with pests. There wasn’t any edible result

I go out every night with a salt shaker and a spade. They’re nocturnal and live near drains and gutters, and also on the underside of pots and such. It helps to be consistent, but I also have a very small plot to work with, so YMMV.
