Also most of these are local Ramens, and I'm from Indonesia. But I'll drop the links if you wanted to try 'em!

Más o menos esto es lo que pido/compro para dos semanas de despensa con bajo presupuesto. La última vez, gasté alrededor de 650 pesos en Bodega Aurrera en línea, adquiriendo todo esto, que alcanzó para dos semanas. Prohibido juzgar, pero espero que sea útil alguna recomendación de lo que compro como foránea para comer mejor. Podrán ver que la mayoría de las cosas buscan primordialmente la practicidad, porque por el ritmo que llevo, es lo que me es más conveniente actualmente. Sé que muchas compras pudieran resultar más baratas y saludables siendo compradas en comercios y mercados locales, pero actualmente yo no tengo acceso a ellos tan fácil, y tampoco un tiempo y rutina adecuados para probar esa opción. Entonces, si este es también tu caso, quizá te sea útil mi lista, o incluso si no lo es, espero sirva para encontrar las opciones equivalentes a mejor precio en mercados locales. Lo importante de esta lista es que puedas ver que con productos sencillos, puedes subsistir por 2 semanas realizando comidas variadas.

I put off making my own bread for YEARS because it seems too difficult. I even went down the sourdough rabbit hole but could never get it right. The final straw was seeing all the extra additives in our store bought sandwhich bread… (and with 5 kids we eat a lot of sandwhiches). I found a recipe while scrolling one day, tried it out, made a few tweaks and it became a FOOL PROOF bread recipe for our family. I make 2 loaves every other day or so. This list should give you everything you need to get started, the ingredients & tools I use and of course the recipe! Let me know how yours turns out in the comments.
