1kg of rice was 0.90 euros 5 years ago, now it’s 2.40 euros.
One of favourite cheap meals is my vegetarian chilli recipe but about 5 years ago all the ingredients cost me about 5 euros for a whole week of food, now it’s about 15 euros. It’s still affordable but the cost of everything is still skyrocketing.
Gotta get your rice in bulk. I recommend Asian or Indian markets, they often sell huge bags of delicious rice. I bet you can get back towards your old rate
You will survive. Throw some milk and some greens in there and you are well on your way. If youre actually in this spot, I have more poor as fuck, but need calories for manual labor tips, but don’t wanna preach
Lentils, chickpeas, quinoa. The latter is pricier, but has all the animo acids you need without meat in your diet, which is really, really pricey. Costco generally has 5lb bags in the $10 range if you have a membership.
… quinoa. The latter is pricier, but has all the animo acids you need
That’s called a “complete protein”, and many combinations of food result in complete protein, including rice and beans. Lentils and chickpeas is probably complete without the need for quinoa.
The dumb assholes need food to survive.
And housing too, the losers!
Rice and beans is still ultra cheap. So, I agree a family needs more than that to “live well” they don’t need more than that to “survive”
Edit why downvote?

Hah, this is Estonia, the most Asian market we have is one shelf of Asian food in the largest grocery stores.
Well, somebody is selling bulk
Oh, yea but those are the bulk store prices. Do people buy non-perishable good any other way?

How well rounded is that nutrionally? I already have a big bag of rice…
