Item: Trader Joe’s Shelf-Stable Whipping CreamPrice: $1.29 for 8 ozOverall Impression: It has its downsides, but all-in-all it’s a handy, serviceable way to be sure you have cream in your pantry. Whipping cream is not an everyday ingredient in my kitchen, so it’s not something I usually keep on hand. When I do buy cream, it’s for a special occasion or a specific dish, and that probably happens maybe two or three times a year.
