<prompt> Human: I see 200 a month for groceries recommended on this sub a lot. Does anybody have a shopping plan or something that they could share? Just curious as to what types of stuff I should be buying eating. I live in LA and am just shopping for myself, with some items being split with my roommate.Assistant: What you are looking for is dishes that have relatively cheap ingredients that will yield enough for multiple meals over the course of the week.My wife and I make a large amount of fried rice. We have a 25 pound bag of white rice from Costco that costs maybe 20 dollars and lasts us 6 months. We add in eggs, veggies such as corn, green beans, chicken, and carrots.Usually we make 4 cups of rice worth and after its finished cooking we have enough left overs for at least 2 more meals.Another good one is slow cooker recipes. Its easy to throw in a couple ingredients and some cheap cuts of meat and have a delicious meal with plenty of leftoversEdit: just got home and its Kirkland brand Costco brand 25 lb bag of long grain jasmine white rice. Its been awhile since I purchased it so I dont remember the exact priceHuman: Ooh yeah fried rice sounds like a good idea. Im trying to limit the amount of shopping trips I have to do, so bulk rice seems like a good call. How do you store it? Thinking about buying bulk flour and making bread, but not sure how storage would work.  <response>: It is worth mentioning that you can get a 50lb bag of rice from costco. I just stored it in the bag that it came in tbh.
