@@ellanica No, it's an accurate acknowledgment that special occasions can justify higher quality, more expensive, goods. Doing just fine with cheaper stuff most of the time does not mean that a more expensive item is overpriced. Better ingredients, more labor-intensive production, and (sadly) branding can definitely bring the price up surprisingly high, but as long as the branding markup is minimal, I'm okay with high-priced goods, because they can actually be desirable at times. But, like our expert in the video, I'm certainly not buying them often.

I'm glad he reacted to the price of the pasta ! This looks MASSIVELY overpriced. My mom is a pasta maker, everything is artisanal and organic, her pasta is top quality and it is roughly 4 euros/500 g grams. More or less $4.4/pound. This is in a rural region of France, so I can understand that there are some discrepancies in the cost of living but still, it sounds like too much difference.

Who knew dried pasta has so much depth to it! Love this series!
