Bought a 10-pound bag of rice from the Asian market for $14 and it lasted me 4 months
I finally got tired of buying those tiny boxes of rice at the regular grocery for $3 a pop. So I went to H-Mart and grabbed a huge bag of jasmine rice for $14. That thing sat in my pantry and I cooked from it almost every day for four months. It saved me so much money it's ridiculous, but now I have no idea what to do with the empty bag. Anyone else go through a massive rice phase like this?

Oh man, I totally did that with a bag of basmati rice except mine lasted almost six months instead.

Ha, @price.ray I read somewhere once that basmati rice actually gets better if you let it sit for a few months because the grains dry out a bit and fluff up more when you cook it. So maybe Karen was onto something without even knowing it. Six months is a long time though, I bet that bag felt like a little time capsule when she finally opened it. Its funny how we just stash stuff and forget about it until we really need it.

Honestly, "lasted almost six months instead" - what did you do, hide the bag behind the canned beans and forget about it? That's a whole new level of pantry dedication, tbh. Did you finally find it when you moved or were you just really committed to that rice?
