So how many vanilla beans does $19.99 USD buy you online?

153. Yeah. Crazy.

I’m used to paying $7 or so for two beans. So these 153 beans would normally have a cost of about $535 in my world. Not only that, they’re nicer than those in the little test tube thingers at the supergrocers. I bought mine here, upon a food blogger recommendation. Seemed a little too good to be true, to be honest.

And what will I do with so many vanilla beans, you ask? At that price…whatever the heck I feel like. Car air freshener anyone?
