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.
Cream cheese. The store brand might be okay for maybe baking with, but you can’t spread that excuse for caulk on a bagel and say it’s anything near as good as the Philadelphia brand.
