I grew up with $20 walmart blenders, and hated anything that required a blender.

Recently bought a ninja and there is no going back. I’ll never use a crappy blender again.

Anything else like that?

    That’s the point, if they are super cheap grocery store quality, regular spoons will do the job better, at least for cookie dough. I’ve bent spoons using them to scoop ice cream.

    When I talk about the expensive version of a cookie dough scoop, it’s also still really cheap. Just checking prices online, I can get the restaurant supply store cheapest imported one for $5 (the brand is Choice). The made in America one that I have (Vollrath) goes for $12, and it seems like the exact same design.

    For dedicated solid aluminum ice cream scoops with defrosting liquid filled handles, the cheap one is $3.50, and the fancy one I have was probably a whole $10.

    The ones you’ll see for sale at a grocery store end up being roughly the same price, but way crappier.
