Dear readers, amidst the high costs of living, I try to save as much as possible.
As the maxim goes: “A penny saved is a penny earned,” hence I am mindful of where I spend my monies on. But I will definitely not become so overly frugal or stingy that I end up missing the pleasures of life.
It is precisely because I watch my dollars that I am careful when it comes to purchases where price tags are less clear. For example, items like economic rice or Cai Fan (in Chinese Hanyu Pinyin). Whenever it comes to ordering my favourite economic rice, I will tend to stick to the traditional menu of ordinary vegetables and sweet and sour meat so that I will pay in the price range of $2.90 to a max of $4.50, depending on where I get my economical rice.
If I order a dish, in particular a meat dish that I am not that familiar with, I am likely to pay more than what I have expected, as per what I have shared in a previous post here .
Why do the price menus of economical rice seem confusing? At least to me? And what are some of the possible ways to make the price menus of economical rice clearer?
Why do prices of economic rice vary from location to location?
Why are some dishes more expensive than others?
And what is the difference between “Rice” item which costs $0.60 and “Just Rice” item which costs $1?
I am happy that my grouse about economical rice has just got a public airing!
