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.
Just to reply to “it’s so much kinder to the chickens”, I hate to break it to you but “free range eggs” is a scam. Here’s a (very opinionated) article: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2017/jan/30/free-range-eggs-con-ethical
TBF he said kinder, not kind. I don’t buy eggs myself except for occasionally from rescue hens, but if I was I’d feel a lot better knowing they saw daylight occasionally.
I still pick those, even though I know it’s a scam. When you have 9 chicken per square meter though, not sure they often find their way outside.
When I did buy eggs I bought woodland eggs with a story on the side. Also a scam, but like, slightly better… kinda?

Like even in the ads you can see they’re packed in, but I bet there’s some bugs to eat there, and they can scratch dirt.
I dunno, commercialising animals is just all a bit grim really.
Oh I know it’s not great, but I don’t pretend to be vegan. It is definitely better than battery though
“Free range eggs” at the grocery store is a scam.
“FREE RANGE EGGS” on a sign by the side of the road are the best eggs you’ll find
