White Rice Is The Ultimate Frugal Food (lemmy.world)

TLDR: A 5lb bag of white rice comes out to $0.10/cup cooked.

Doing the cost breakdown for the last post left me a bit shocked at the price of rice per cup. Especially when you think of the $4.00 or more companies charge for premade rice cups.

The breakdown— Kroger sells a 5lb bag of white rice for $3.69. You can get it for $2.99 on sale but for the sake of argument let’s use retail pricing.

5lb of rice = 12.5 cups dry rice ≈ 36 cups cooked rice. Based on this, each cup of cooked rice costs about $0.10/cup cooked.
