Rice is a global staple food. Brown rice may be more beneficial to human health, but it is also more costly due to the higher grade quality. To save money on brown rice, you may want to buy the rice in bulk. Take advantage of coupons, if available. Rice can be stored in the kitchen pantry for a very long time and can be used to feed many mouths. If there is a food shortage, then you can depend on rice to meet your daily caloric needs on a regular basis, with a helping of lard. Hence staple food.



2. Assorted Fresh Vegetables

Supermarkets may promote certain fresh vegetables once in a while. Also, it may be helpful to have various supermarkets that you go to for fresh vegetables, so that you have a variety of options and can estimate the normal prices. Don't be afraid of going to an Asian supermarket, if you live in the United States; treat it like a typical American supermarket, and you may find some good deals on soy products and fresh vegetables. When a particular vegetable is on sale, such as spinach, you can buy a lot of spinach on that day, stock up in the refrigerator, and eat spinach for the whole week.



Vegetables can be stir-fried or steam-fried to make savory dishes, dumped into soups, or eaten raw. To maximize your nutrition, you may want to eat lightly cooked vegetables and raw vegetables daily. Tomato is widely considered a vegetable, and a raw tomato can be consumed for dessert or can be consumed as a sweetener or flavor enhancer of more bland vegetables, like cucumbers.



If you have some spending money, then you may invest in a private garden to grow green nira, green onions, green beans, and other vegetables. If you don't use pesticides, your private garden will supply local, organic vegetables.



3. Assorted Fresh Fruits

Fresh fruits are the candies of the natural world. They are usually bred to be sweet enough to be eaten raw/unprocessed. One large strawberry may have 6 calories and 0.84 grams of sugar. Strawberries also have an extremely low glycemic load value. If you usually find a piece of candy in your lunch, then you may swap that out with one large strawberry. Same size, same sweetness, more nutrients.



Like fresh vegetables, different fresh fruits may be on sale at different times of the year. So, it's best to shop for them, like you would shop for vegetables.

You can find free chickens on Craiglist. You can take a little hen home and keep her as a pet. You can kill the hen for a day's food or keep the hen for eggs. Hens can lay eggs without a rooster siring them, and the eggs will all come out unfertilized. The eggs may serve as an animal-based protein and fat source. Once the hen's egg-laying days are over, you may kill the hen for food or allow the hen to continue living until she dies naturally.
