Mix with white rice for a nice meal 40p ($0.60) for a 1kg / 2.2 pound bag  of uncooked stuff (pretty much triples in weight when cooked) at my local supermarket. Asian markets most likely much cheaper. (That's over 8000 calories a bag, once cooked, I'd love to see the junk food she eats that is more than 8000 calories per 60 cents)
