Notes -
What are some products that are a really good deal or overly expensive?
Good deal:
Fairlife Nutrition Plan, 30g Protein Shake. This is mostly just milk that's been filtered. It has 150 calories and 30 grams of protein. It costs like $2 a pop at costco. Tastes like milk. No crazy amount of additives. I'm just not gonna mess with protein powder so this is an easy way to get closer to my macro goals.
Good product, way too expensive:
Those 3M command strips for hanging pictures. They're somehow like $1 a piece when it feels like they should be 10 cents. It's just velcro and tape.
If you're trying to save weight for backpacking, supplement emergency supplies, or need relatively small quantities of milk infrequently on an irregular basis, I discovered it is actually pretty easy to procure powdered whole milk, under the name Nestle Nido Fortificada, and which they sell at Walmart in the international foods area for some reason. Grocery stores around me seem only to ever have powdered nonfat milk in the baking department, which is disgusting, but the Nido Fortificada reconstitutes into a very convincing glass (or bowl) of milk. I believe this is similar to what the Navy uses on long cruises.
