Kellogg’s CEO advice to cash-strapped shoppers: Let them eat Corn Flakes for dinner - Lemmy.World

Last time I checked, corn flakes weren’t that cheap. My go to is still rice.
Rice + lentils is the ultimate poverty lifehack. A well-stocked spice drawer (expensive, but lasts a long time) plus those two ingredients can provide like 80% of your food indefinitely. Don’t waste your time or money on ramen
Spices are expensive, but very easy to shoplift because they are so small.
It REALLY depends on where/how you get them. The tiny McCormick bottles are a ridiculous scam, charging like $6 for a thimbleful. Meanwhile, a lot of health food stores, if you just bring a mid-sized jar (just clean out an old pasta jar or something) you can put a bunch of spice in it for maybe $3 or less.
