“Cheap ones never do you any favors in the long run.”

I'm a Southern California-based writer on the Lifestyle team who likes to try and rank viral foods and read and recommend awesome books.

"I will die on the hill that TP needs to be priced by the pound. None of this roll, double-roll, super roll, 1-ply, 2-ply, 3-ply nonsense. Count the number of sheets per roll? WTF. Just give me the price per weight, and we can actually then make up our mind based on some kind of useful common framing."

"Bought the cheap ones once. Thought to myself, How much different could they be? It was like putting a twig in my ears. Never made that mistake again."

"I made this mistake once a few months ago. Took the bag out of the can and had trash and garbage juice all over my kitchen floor."

"This is why my roommates love my cooking. I never cheap out on ingredients, especially when baking."
