We used to buy from Nuts.com and were satisfied with their product. We no longer order there, but I don't know why. BTW, I love ice cream but cheese cake not so much. Wife used to make a special cheesecake for Christmas every year, and I ate it for many decades. She was destroyed when I finally revealed that I wasn't that fond of it and only ate it so she wouldn't feel bad.
I use to buy the big bags of walnuts from Nuts.com quite a bit. The walnuts use to be so fresh and tasty. Ever since COVID, the quality went down. I also remember they jacked up the price to $33.00, when they were about $18.00 normally. They lowered the price pretty quick after complaints. I continued to buy few more bags of walnuts from them but, after a few bags, I stopped. It seemed like every bag I got, half of the bag had very dried out walnuts in it. Since there was no returns on food items anymore, I changed to Amazon Walnuts. They have been pretty fresh, thus far. The price has been slowly sneaking up on them too; like no one would notice.
I've commented before that I lived around the corner from a place called The Cheesecake Factory. They make cheesecakes for regional restaurants and had a retail counter. I was eating a 2# cheesecake every week, all by myself. I always put fresh fruit on it. Kiwi was my favorite.
I've not looked at Amazon's prices. I know I had to hit a $50 order minimum on Nuts.com to get free shipping from Nuts.com, but don't recall if there was a Handling fee that made shipping prohibitively expensive so you really had no choice but to buy a lot. I believe there is.I use to buy the big bags of walnuts from Nuts.com quite a bit. The walnuts use to be so fresh and tasty. Ever since COVID, the quality went down.

I bought mine last January and the quality was fine. It's just tough for me to put together a $50 order. I added Macadamia nuts and pumpkin seeds to try them with some spice coating, but it was a waste of money. I guess I could just buy walnuts and pecans and freeze what I won't use immediately.
For some reason, walnuts on Nuts.com are cheap...$5/#, which is 1/2 of Walmart's price. Pecans are about 10% higher than Walmart but are from Georgia and not "maybe Mexico, too."
I'm a firm believer in yielding to food cravings. There's a reason for the hankering.
Sorry to take your husbands side, but the PB and honey on toasted bread, with banana sandwiched in, is how eat it. For a tomato sandwich, I toast the bread, smash up a few garlic cloves, spread them on the bread, add on tomato salt it, then slap on the top, and enjoy.Well, you should at least try it. Some people grill the sandwich in a little butter, kind of like a grilled cheese. It's similar to a tomato sandwich, in that it's surprisingly good. The mayo adds a tang and the banana adds a bit of sweetness, which satisfies a sweet tooth.
My husband makes a concoction of peanut butter and honey and spreads that on his banana sandwich in the place of mayonnaise. That's going too far in my opinion.
I love a sauteed onion sandwich. Lots of sauteed, till soft, Walla Walla sweet onions on local made, toasted, potato buttermilk bread. I don't have it often, because slicing and sautéing onions is just too cheffy and involved cooking.
That requires Vidallia onions.
I'm the same. I like the cheap ones you get at the Asian markets that are put up in hot sauce.
That's what came to mind as I typed that comment, since there are no more Bermuda onions in the stores.
