Wherever you can save you should save, every penny matters and considering the fact that you have hyper-inflation there, it becomes paramount to save. I am happy that you make your cost-benefit-analysis before shopping.

Rice and wheat flour are the regular consumption here also, but here the price is very reasonable because all most all of them are locally produced here.

I expect you would enjoy your pasta today. 

I also used to go shopping every alternate day, owing to limited resources.

Have a nice day.

Steem on.
