Buy air tight dry bins

Get a rice bin going - at least 5lb bags of brown, basmati, white, etc.

Get a lentil bin going - red lentils, green lentils, etc

Get a bean bin going - 5lb bags of garbanzos, navy, black, pinto, etc

I keep everything in its bag but then contained within the larger bins. Very OCD about my dry goods storage, and I'm not even in the south or anywhere buggy.


Emphasis on getting disciplined with basic prep stuff though. Like you can buy canned black beans and dump them in your recipe OR you can take the time to soak even cheaper dry beans. Or you can buy a pressure cooker and spend a Sunday cooking dry beans and freezing them in 1-pound bags.

And then for us its just kinda like your staple meals that you get you through the week don't even need recipes. Often recipes you get from the internet make you waste money - you need to think for yourself. "A curry situation" or "burrito bowl thing" or "protein + potatoes" are some examples of our regular "recipes."
