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.

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
