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.
That probably depends on how you’re cooking them. Runny yolk from good eggs is an order of magnitude better than the cheap eggs.
No. The only difference is freshness and how it retains its shape. It’s entirely a placebo if you can taste a difference.
Kenji did an experiment https://www.seriouseats.com/what-are-the-best-eggs and I’ve done similar with my friends that all loathed actually taking care of chickens.
