I need Trader Joe’s balsamic vinegar of Modena- it is cheap, but I like its acidity. It’s perfect with red onion, olive oil and Lawry’s seasoning salt as a dressing for all of my bowls involving kale, avocado, beans/protein and roasted vegetables. I don’t like the viscous, richer flavored and more expensive Balsamic vinegars. Sometimes I will add a splash of orange juice, a little dijon and some honey to same dressing- very fresh and tasty.

Love Valentina hot sauce! We “discovered” it when we lived in Houston, TX after having gotten into the habit of spending $$$ on Cholula. Valentina is cheaper and just as good/tastier!
Those of us who have lived in New Orleans do Crystal -- the cheapest and the best. Shhhh, don't let everyone know!
I’m the PP and I also keep a jar of Crystal on hand, another habit acquired from living in Houston!
