Need a recipe for long shelf life gravy with simple ingredients.

I live in southeast asia.

Around here we primarily eat rice.

But rice is such a hassle to make and clean up, also the leftover is a waste, so I bought a big batch of instant potato mash, and I would like to stock up gravy to go with it, preferably one that can be stored for a relatively long time.

The problem is I need it to be cheap to make in big batches with limited ingredient options that is available in my area.

Adding preservative is fine if it's necessary.

What's the difference?

What's the difference between Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger Macaronie and Double Cheeseburger Macaronie? The HH website says they use the same amount of beef so I'm wondering what the difference is?

Best chef's knife under $20?

I am looking for a cheap but ok quality chef's knife as I am just beginning my cooking journey and don't want to spend too much yet. What is a good brand I can buy at TJ Maxx or another discount store that is a decent starter chef's knife?

Hi everyone! I have a few questions about making affordable meals in bulk and what’s freezable

I’m starting to work on creating monthly menus/meals where I’m going to cook meats and sides one day a month and freeze everything. Then for vegetables I’m thinking I’ll do fresh and prepare throughout the weeks as needed.

Im not very sure what sides freeze well though? I’m also not very good at coming up with sides to begin with and all I can think of is like mashed potatoes? But has anyone tried freezing those? Has anyone tried freezing things like pasta and rice? I would love any advice and suggestions on affordable sides and dishes that I could freeze. Thank you!

Does cooking for one really save that much money?

If so, is it dependent on only cooking on a budget and eating leftovers, buying in bulk and buying the cheapest stuff or is it almost universally cheaper than eating out, even if it’s inexpensive $10 fast food meals?
