Well, the fact that I happen to eat a veggie diet helps cost-wise for sure…
I’m also a regular visitor to the Asia Market on Drury St. in Dublin – so much cheaper for a lot of things that you might otherwise pay a premium for in the ethnic food aisle in the supermarket or in a health food shop (coconut milk, dried mushrooms, …) plus it’s great for rice and other grains, nuts, dried beans, lentils and the like.
It’s even better value if you want to buy (and have the storage for) bulk quantities of dry goods like rice, which will keep for ages. I usually buy 5kg or 10 kg bags of the stuff.
