San Marzano tomatoes - the best canned tomatoes for marinara sauce and chili. Worth the extra $2 you'd pay per can.

Real pecorino romano and parmigiano reggiano cheese

I completely agree with this (and the cheese, but I didn't know anyone actually bought the Kraft fake parmesan cheese anymore?!?) and also really good pasta (I buy mine from a wholesaler who imports it from Italy). When people eat Italian food at our house they always comment on how good it is, and I swear it's the good pasta and the San Marzano tomatoes because my recipes aren't anything secret or special.

Yes!!! I received these as part of a care package when recovering from surgery and could not believe how good they were.

I love chocolate chip cookies and Wegmans, but these cookies have a bad aftertaste.

And their raspberry chocolate cake - amazing

Not worth it: organic grocery store produce. Just go to the farmer's market.

you do realize we don’t all have access to farmers markets year round right?

She’s not telling you to do this. She just feels like it’s worth it. Because that’s what the thread is about. You’re so excited to start a fight, you’re not paying attention.

Please share your amazing wholesaler of pasta

That's not how that works. If they post the links, the products will be sold out.

Big engines, nice interiors, etc. are so worth it when you spend a good chunk of your time in your car.

+1

I always look down on the poor people; the people who can only afford a toyota or a honda. Really sad for them.

You’re such an empath.

Yes if bought on cash or paid off, not with debt.

I'm a DP, but I had been buying the san marzano for a while and was quite happy. I saw the regular ones on sale and bought a flat (I think 9?) and they are awful! Soo acidic and almost bitter tasting. Have to add so much sugar to be palatable. I am an unintended san marzano convert!

Not worth it:
Any experience marketed as a "must see/must do" and has endless crowds. As it turns out, I generally dislike any activity involving crowds.

I always do this but I actually think it's cheaper than buying it pre-shredded

+1000

I will always pay to do something quicker if possible
