As a cottage food baker I totally agree!! I will use good chocolate and butter in my cookies but sry not sry I’m using the cheap eggs for my cookies like who can afford $10/dozen 😭😭 somethings I will always compromise on, others I’ll never compromise on like my valrhona cocoa powder - but sometimes the florals from Publix are just as good as they are from the farmers market for my decorations, and a little easier on the wallet too
exactly and then also like food costs! so many people complain about a $4 cookie and it's like well yeah the ingredients cost $450 for a single batch. especially when running a business there's a huge give and take of what's worth it and what you can skip out on! especially if we wanna keep talking about berries like $20 a pound strawberries just doesn't make financial sense at scale
As an occasional buyer of Harry’s Berries, I think they’re hit (soo good) or miss (totally not worth it). Their gaviota variety is their small, sweet berries and there are one or two other vendors at the farmer’s markets that also sell gaviotas (just not labeled or advertised!) These lesser known vendors’ gaviotas are just as good as Harry’s and cheaper, if you can find them!
def agree, when a harry's hits it hits (and it maybe worth it) but when it doesn't it's kinda soul crushing. But, in general I think a gaviota is the superior vareity if you're looking for a strawberry that tastes like a strawberry lol
