I often hear, "You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc.." but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?

This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.

Wait wait wait. Your butter has flavouring added? Like, I realise I’m spoiled here in Ireland, but fuck mei can’t even picture what that might be

That was my exact reaction! But butter is literally nothing but churned cream and possibly salt added? If there's anything else added, such as water or any kinds of oils, it's no longer butter. I get more scared every time I learn something new about US food culture....

Gotta check the ingredients on damn near everything here, or just make everything yourself :P.

Homemade unwashed butter = best butter (although spoils very quickly when not washing, like a day or two). I would eat that shit by itself if it wasn't so unhealthy lmao

Irish butter is sold in a lot of grocery stores at least around me in the U.S. and my God it’s night and day compared to our shit sicks of fuck

diacetyl is typically used as butter aroma
