평소
etc.
Thank you!

Question

Answer

보통has two meanings.
1.normal level of sth.(average level)
2.normal(general or ordinary) frequency or tendency of sth besides, in aspect of time

평상시 means just an ordinary time and 평소 is just exactly the  same.
평상시=평소

나는 보통 아침을 먹지 않는다.
나는 평소에 아침을 먹지 않는다.
나는 평상시에 아침을 먹지 않는다.

i dont know why we dont add '-에' on the end of the word 보통, but we never add -에 on 보통.

i hope my answer helps u!
