My grocery bill is steadily climbing and I am not sure what to do. I make too much for SNAP. Any tips or tricks? It’s just me in my household, so would buying in bulk be worth it?
Edit: I want to thank everyone for their responses. I have a lot to think about.
Rice cooker
Bought a nice one (zojirushi brand that has the little elephant), but I’ve read most rice cookers work well. I use it so often for different meals and it’s been a game changer and money saver. Making rice is so simple now, and an easy cheap way to supplement a meal.
Rice eggs is a staple for us now: Make some rice, and when there’s about 5 minutes left on time, throw in some scrambled eggs for a tasty protein.
Mine is microwave safe so was relatively cheap. Follow the 1-2-2-12 to perfectly cooked rice. 1 measure of 2 cups of rice, 2 of water, some salt, 12 minutes. Can reheat, Fri overnight leftover rice and side carbs with anything specially beans.
