The situation, as printed

Finding food worth buying is broken.

Cult grocery intel lives in 40 open tabs
The good stuff is buried in TikTok hauls, three-year-old Reddit threads and a group chat you muted. There are no rankings, no trusted signal, and no way to know what's actually good near you. Shoppers burn money on duds; the best finds stay secret.
