I used to soak beans overnight for chili to save money. Now I can use canned beans, but the flavor isn't the same, and I miss the routine. Do you think some budget cooking steps are worth the wait?
It cooks faster and needs less stuff to taste good, so my wallet and my stomach are happy, lol.
I bought a big bag of rice to save money, but kept it in the original paper bag. The bag got damp in my pantry and weevils got in, so I lost the whole thing. What's the right way to store dry goods so they last?
