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.
If I can find it, I will edit it in.
There was a great America’s Test Kitchen episode where they did just this, and they talked about the oils that surface in the different cans, etc
edit: I could not locate the specific episode I was referring to. I could find other similar ones, but not the comprehensive breakdown I mentioned. ATK has changed a lot in the last several years, not surprised but a little disappointed.
