Mmmmm I love rice, but I only use the wholegrain organic, which is definitely pricey, but very healthy... I can't find any packs bigger than 500 grams, so I eat less of it than I'd like to just to keep my food bill down...:(Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.0

I checked the Asda Smartprice rice today it's now 79p for a kg, must have been an opening offer, (new store) bleeping Asda and their "rollback" deals they put more prices up than they reduce.0

i normally buy the cheapest value long grain rice.. in tescos.... but will go to lidles and see if they got those bif bags for £5.99
how i cook my rice is put some of the dired rice into a sieve.. then rinse it through ..once the rice is cooked through put into a strainer... then rinse through again with boiling water.. just to make sure there is no gloopy rice.... works every time......
i used to buy the frozen cooked rice... but then i went for it and started cooking my own... yes had a few gloopy rice servings.. but.....as the saying oges practice makes perfect..:DWork to live= not live to work0 -
We've been buying parboiled from Lidl - it's a dawdle... not sticking etc, and tastes great, and is much cheaper than Uncle Ben's boil in the bag!!.0

Being a celiac I eat a hell of a lot of rice.
Lidl's do the Cheapest Thai Jasmine 99p a kilo
For Basamati try your nearest Indian store the going rate is about £1 a kilo for 5kg or 10kg sack.
As for cheap economy I have tried them all over the last 6 months, best economy rice is Waitrose followed by the Good Old Co-op's which I dont mind plugging as they hardly seem to get a mention on here.
The worst is Icelands which is truly foul0 -

Don't know if the p+p would make this even more expensive, but found this site:
