It’s no secret that we love Ina Garten, but we have to admit: splurging on the “good” ingredients she loves can get expensive, especially when you love to bake. Fine chocolate, top-shelf kitchen equipment (hello, Le Creuset), and Neilsen-Massey vanilla may churn out exquisite baked goods, but they’re so pricey. Thankfully, there are other vanilla brands out there. They may not have Ina Garten’s seal of approval, but these pure vanilla extracts are more realistically affordable, and most can be easily found at the grocery store. These are the brands most of us grew up with, anyway, so the vanilla flavor they impart will taste authentically nostalgic in all of your favorite recipes. Take a look at these affordable pure vanilla extracts, and get ready to bake!
