orically High Prices Compared to 2020, food prices have risen 116.8% in May 2024, and prices continue to soar at a historic rate. In such an environment, Rinattei's money-saving techniques are full of ingenuity, such as making full use of money-saving ingredients such as chicken meat and pork chops, and researching multiple supermarkets to purchase the cheapest products.For
example, if a recipe calls for 300g (10.58oz) of chicken meat and there are 350g (12.35oz) packs and 297g (10.48oz) packs available, he recommends buying the 297g (10.48oz) packs. This will result in a big savings, with savings of 10 or 20 yen adding up.
