Always check Indian or Mexican grocery stores if you can, the spices and rice and such tend to be much, much cheaper than your typical grocery store.

    Bulk stores too, you can even get ramen flavoring by the pound there too.

    Yeah when I was super broke in my 20s, I made it a point to keep a relatively well stocked pantry of spices, flour, butter. It helps stretch fresh ingredients so far and is the difference between enjoying day-to-day life and being miserable for me.
