Prices keep climbing, so I’m trying to pick my battles in the supermarket. Which items do you refuse to cheap out on, and why? Taste, health, longevity, peace of mind… I’d love to hear what’s worth the few extra dollars for you.
For me, it’s honey from local beekeepers—supermarket brands locally are known to sell fake or adulterated sugar syrup as honey.
Real butter for things where you can taste it. Store brand for things where the other flavors are more overpowering and don’t really notice the butter.
Having two butters to manage seems like a lot of work.
