which ingredients should you never go cheap on?
>>
don't use cheap water
>>
>>21813427
always use high quality cum
>>
i always get organic bananas because the price difference is like 10 cents and it's well worth it
>>
>>21813427
salt
pepper
beef
the best chili I ever had was made with A5 wagyu.
>>
I only buy the cheapest stuff so I wouldn't know.
>>
>>21813427
i bought cheap frozen okra and so much of it was inedible because of how tough it was. cheap frozen kale has a lot of tough stem pieces. i'll buy the cheapest of almost anything else and it's fine but not buying that stuff anymore.

I never get fresh food from the cheapest national chain department store in the given area I am in

any

Aged parmesan from Italy is really my only one. I do have a jar of the green stuff just for pizza. 99% American cheese is great but they cannot do parmesan.
>>
I never skimp on my beef. My butcher buys whole carcasses not wet-bagged primals, and dry-ages them. It costs about 20% more than supermarket beef but it’s always tender and full of flavor.
>>
>>21813427
i buy whatever is on sale at the grocery outlet.
got a 65 or 6 pack of Zaterans Cajun sausage for $2

luckily they have standards for donators at the cum bank

>>21813427
Garlic
Get a few seeds and grow them on your windowsill, fresh garlic is a night and day difference compared to powdered
>>
>>21813731
this. don't go upscale on something that comes out of your asshole hours later.
food is not an investment, it must be the fastest depreciating asset that exists
>>
Paprika. Cheap paprika barely does anything but good paprika adds a ton of flavor

>which ingredients should you never go cheap on?
Price is almost never the determining factor. Most of the expensive stuff is terrible compared to the cheaper brands. Dark chocolate is one of them, the expensive brands pretty much all failed the lead and cadmium test while some of the cheaper brands passed with margins to spare.

That said.

Cinnamon. Well, get the Ceylon variant and not Cassia.

Get Himalayan rock salt if you're worried about microplastics.

Make sure that your fish comes from an area that isn't too polluted.

Obviously some fruits and veggies should be organic and not covered with pesticides. Of course if you peal it it's less important.

Fish imo

The moment I switched from tap water to pitcher filtered tap water is the moment I learned how to make excellent soups.

chicken or fish

mystery chicken and/or fish is absolutely horrifying at worst, and disgusting at best. just buy mid-tier or higher in all cases.

Butter is a big one. High-quality butter from grass-fed cows tastes so much better than the cheap stuff.
>>
>>21816023
Started drinking water out of a fancy Baccarat Decanter and it stated tasting significantly better.
Suddenly my water was locally sourced natural water
>>

I thought this butter hipsterism was bullshit until I tried French Brittany butter at room temp on a slice of good bread.
Holy fuck it's just simply the best
>>
>>21813427
Never go cheap on your meat. The good stuff is worth the premium.
>>
not that I have ever had the opportunity, Mozzarella
>>
>>21813427
olive oil
>>
>>21813427
Only fresh poop from the butt. It loses its stench and moisture over time.
>>
>>21814020
You know you can buy whole heads of garlic, right?
>>
>>21813427
All the ingredients, poorfag.
>>
>>21820627
It won't be as good
>>
I would say milk, cheese and meat. But personally whatever is on sale is what im going to be eating.
