What size pots are you in now? If you can't bring them inside, going into the ground might be your best bet. If the plants are used to being outside, storms shouldn't mess with them too much. Dig your holes about twice as big as your current pots, put what soil you have in them and use dirt for the rest. If you have any dry plant food, add a little of that to the holes.
Not sure the size they have made it through several strong storms though cause one literally has a root coming out of it. And I can't keep buying more soil etc

Dig a big hole and stick them in the ground. Add a little dry food if you have it.

If you know anyone with horses, ask about getting their shit. Go ahead and be getting your stuff ready for next year. Look for soil mixes to go on sale at the end of the season, and stock up. And buy a couple of pepper and tomato plants next spring, so your neighbors/parents won't wonder what you are doing with all the potting soil.

For food I use espoma kelp meal, but I don't have any more soil
