Why is rice supposed to be cheap when it costs $4-5 per pound for decent rice and even cheap rice is $1-2 per pound? Isn't meat similarly priced?

go to the store instead of getting it off amazon you nonce

>1 pound of rice is about 6 cups when cooked
Wow 4-5$ for 6 cups of calorie dense food that's so expensive. Just how poor are you?

Stop buying Vegan Organic All Natural marketing bullshit. Buy the 25 pound bag for $10 that is just as good.

White rice is cheap. Good rice is not as cheap.

Look at this shit. 5lbs of rice for 7 doolers. That's uncooked weight and it's not even the cheapest of white rice. You can get 20lbs for 8 bucks if go to walmart.

Go to the store, special Ed

>he thinks organic wild rice is cheap if you go to the store
>he thinks physical stores are cheaper than Amazon
Lemme guess, XXY?

>physical stores are cheaper than Amazon
They absolutely are for groceries. It's cheap as shit to ship a pallet of something to one location than it is to send each item individually to your special care unit

>Rice off amazon

Bruh. You can go to fucking walmart and get a 20 pound back of rice for like 3-4 bucks and it's honestly delicious. Rice purists should kill themselves. If you're REALLY worried, there are better brands of rice that are still cheap as shit and a big bag will last you a long time my dude, remember rice expands when it cooks.

Physical stores are not cheaper than Amazon for bulk items liked canned goods or grain.

Well they are, I just looked up 25 pound bags of rice. Sure they are about the same price at Costco versus Amazon but they don't qualify for Prime and you have to pay $30 in shipping.

You clearly have never even been to a store.

Since rice is dried, this is a shitty comparison. Compare it to beef jerky instead which is meat without the water

>buys the best
>"wooooow guys why did you lie to me it's not cheap at all"

Just go to Costco and get the 50lb bag. If it's too heavy for your soyboy spine to handle, ask a Costco team member for help.

giving you the benefit of the doubt of possibly living in the middle of bumbfuck nowhere with no grocery store selection, but amazon is considerably more expensive than any local grocery store in terms of bulk or canned goods.
amazon is great for random shit, it fails utterly as a grocery store replacement assuming you have an a smidgen of competition in your area

the best rice comes in a gigantic burlap sack from indian stores

1 kg is enought for more than 10 days if measured properly. But yeah, sometimes potatoes are cheaper, sometimes rice is cheaper. I personally buy my potatoes in 25kg bags from the farmer and my rice in 1kg bags from the grocery store, potatoes for 20€ and rice for .89€

Brown jasmine rice is $0.80/lb at Winco

this. brown basmati is true master race

that rice is dried. It weighs more after you cook it. So it's more analogous to beef jerkey or something

>yuppie "fancy" organic wild rice in tiny containers
>buying fucking rice off amazon
>not realizing that rice weighs ~3 times more when cooked

Go to a real fucking store (ideally an ethnic one) and buy a big bag.

For everyone suggesting buying a big bag of rice (larger than 10lbs/5kg) what do you use to store your rice, and will the rice ever go stale? I'd like to buy a big ass bag, but I live alone, and it would take me a good while to eat 20lbs of rice.

White rice can store for literally 25 years.

Brown rice should be used within 2-3 years as it has some oils/fat in it that can go rancid and it will oxidize. White rice has these oils/fat stripped form it.

I use the bag it came in and a good clip to hold it shut. It basically never goes stale and you're mostly just aiming to keep small bugs out.

It may last 25 years but it's pretty difficult to keep that amount of rice free from bugs and such. I don't have a container that big.

They are. Go to a store. Like Wal mart or Kroger or HEB. or something. It definitely is cheaper.
