Rice has been a major food for families globally. But with the high cost of rice, we have to find alternatives to the carbohydrates rich food.

So what are the alternatives to rice that we can eat and is affordable? Some people say potatoes. Do you think so?

If you are in Nigeria, I think if you buy spaghetti, it would serve you more than rice. It is sold at NGN500 and should feed you longer than rice of the same worth.

Not all rice is costly in my country. I will be local rice which is not properly distoned. It is cheaper and some say is more nutritious than refined rice

Personally I don't think that I'm spending a lot of money on rice on yearly basis because rice is one food that I eat only once in a week, which I believe that is not too much.

Rice is a staple food in my location. Rice from mainland China is not that expensive here. Some people eat bread, pasta, sweet potato once in while to replace rice.

Recently, I have been doing more of potatoes than rice. Potatoes is cheaper and more satisfying than rice of the same worth. Also, you can be doing more of swallow.

When it comes to alternatives for rice, there are actually different alternatives, the most commonly used one in my country is spaghetti or macaroni, while there are also other alternatives like shredded cabbage and the likes.
