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’s exactly what happened to us. The coop was a fortress, but a fox dug into the run and it was a crime scene. Chickens need a big run but damn it’s tough to keep them safe. :(
