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.

    Butter, life is too damn short to cook with and eat shitty butter.

    Also anything that goes between me and the ground, my bed, my shoes, and my tires.

      Not grocery but my opinion is anything that interacts with the world around you. Glasses, shoes, gloves, headphones should all be top quality for comfort and their respective task

      I can say from personal experience this applies to vegan butter too. Get Miyoko’s, or Violife if you absolutely have to, but for all that’s good don’t get shitty butter.
