The super generic frozen dinners and prepackaged shit have become cheaper than cooking things normally where I am unless your going straight rice and beans or buying in massive bulk.

But for a single person even with meal prepping and freezing stuff. I end up with too much food spoilage to cost ratio at this point. So I can’t even do bulk buying with out losing too much to spoilage.

My meals basically have become cheap canned foods and frozen generic brand slop. With rice. Everything with rice.

Now can rice stop going up too. My store can’t even stock enough it’s always sold out. And my God the price of fresh veggies destroy me. So only frozen bulk veggies or canned!
