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.

Eggs isn't true. The only thing you're buying is for sound of mind for ethically raised chickens and the orange color of the yolk specifically for things where you need that nice orange color.

Nutrients aren't statistically significant. Taste has no difference. Especially if you aren't eating them plain.

Chicken wrangler here. This may be true of supermarket eggs but should not be taken to imply that all eggs are the same.

Perhaps there isn't a huge difference between the different labels available at the supermarket.

However, I'm incredulous that there is no difference between an egg laid by a backyard chicken who is well cared for and has a varied nutritious diet, and that which you'll find at the supermarket.

I realise you (and youtube guy) are not talking about backyard eggs, but just because "pastured eggs" are not significantly different to cage eggs, that does not mean that it's not possible to buy proper eggs.

Agree no difference as an ingredient in some baked dish.

But if you are eating the egg by itself or as the primary item, there is definitely a difference in taste. Not a revolutionary change your life difference, but still a difference.

In my experience the difference is pretty small amongst the options in the grocery store, but fairly noticable for eggs I get from the farmers market.
