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.
Trader Joes are so much better than the Aldi ones IMO
That’s a worthy debate. They are also good, and each in their own way, and I am very happy to enjoy both.
But the parent company owns both of those brands though?
Aldi is two different companies, North and South. One owns Aldi America, the other bought Trader Jones.
Yep! Very different product though. So much less greasy feeling, better crunch, less cheetoh fingers. i think the trader joes version is about $2 for a bag?
