    You can get cheaper rice than that in stores if you buy bulk at an Indian or Chinese grocer.

      I do genuinely enjoy buying enough rice to last a year. Also bought a great cheap rice cooker at my local Chinese grocer. Idiot proof and almost certainly saves electricity.

      I think I once worked out that the rice based meal I’d just eaten had cost less than a euro to make.

        I’d love to buy in bulk like that, but I don’t have the freezer space to treat the rice beforehand, so I usually don’t buy more than 25 (just over 10 kilo) pounds at a time

      Well this should help make it obvious! Cause you can see “cheapest by pound is x, the price per pound of this bulk bag is y.”

      Compared to having to scroll around.
