    • Almost all paper goods, specifically Kirkland brand.
    • Canned veggies are all the same as well, so whatever’s cheapest
    • most dried herbs and spices
    • staples like flour, butter, sugar, oil, etc. they are basic and as long as you are getting the kind you need (like AP flour or dark brown sugar) there isn’t any room for differences that the average consumer could notice anyways

      As a fountain pen user and fan of stationery, I can assure you not all paper is created equal. For me it’s 100% worth paying for the good stuff.

        Paper goods meaning napkins, paper plates (mostly for food prep), paper towels, etc. agreed 100% on actual paper for writing.

      If you make bread you can tell a difference between brands of flour, and the more expensive stuff is usually noticably better.

        I have heard that Canadian flour is better than American, so maybe that’s why, but I’ve never noticed a difference in flour brands. I’ve been baking bread for years and did it as a full time job for two years.

        There’s also a noticeable difference with some beans. Cheap ones are tough and taste almost stale, while nicer ones are creamier and more flavourful.
