1kg of rice was 0.90 euros 5 years ago, now it's 2.40 euros.

One of favourite cheap meals is my vegetarian chilli recipe but about 5 years ago all the ingredients cost me about 5 euros for a whole week of food, now it's about 15 euros. It's still affordable but the cost of everything is still skyrocketing.

Gotta get your rice in bulk. I recommend Asian or Indian markets, they often sell huge bags of delicious rice. I bet you can get back towards your old rate

Hah, this is Estonia, the most Asian market we have is one shelf of Asian food in the largest grocery stores.

Well, somebody is selling bulk

Oh, yea but those are the bulk store prices. Do people buy non-perishable good any other way?
