Wow, those price differences are crazy! I had no idea Manuka honey could vary so much depending on where you buy it. Might be worth checking out the airport options if you’re short on time and don’t mind carrying a bit more. Just wish they offered smaller sizes for trying it out first!
Absolutely, the price differences can be surprising! Airport shops often have convenient travel-sized options if you’re looking to try it without committing to a larger jar. I agree that smaller sizes would be great for testing the flavor—maybe check local markets too, as they sometimes offer sample pots. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
