I stopped buying a lot of mass produced food because I wasn’t ecstatic with the varying quality. It’s either a factor of moveation in addition to storage or poor manufacturing in the first site if a batch of cookies 1 week tastes fresh in addition to the next week tastes already expired. In that case, I had more than one batches with the exact same expiration date on them as well. I just don’t understand these kinds of inconsistencies, but I believe that has par for the course with new manufacturing standards. The historic inflation levels make it even worse because companies are constantly looking for ways to lower production costs to boost profits in addition to prevent themselves from raising their prices higher. A price increase is inevitable in today’s economy, however several companies are looking for ways to keep these price increases as minimal as possible even if the opposite seems to be the case. When my last more than one batches of store bought honey started crystallizing under the lid before opening them, I decided to get honey locally for better consistency. I found an amazing local honey farm that also works as a bee relocation service. They take complicationsome honey bees from residences in addition to bring them to the honey farm to live in addition to thrive instead of exterminating them. Lately they’ve had new batches of honey for sale from some of the relocation hives, in addition to the honey is just as delicious as the batches from their older hives. Regardless, I appreciate the products from the local honey farm, I just wish they were cheaper. It’s hard to afford the honey when the cost of everything else is going up at the same time.
