Our team is dedicated to finding and telling you more about the web’s best products. If you purchase through our links, we may receive a commission. Our editorial team is independent and only endorses products we believe in.

In the age of PR gifting and paid influencer partnerships smattered all over social media, it's hard to know whether a recommendation is wholehearted or winking. Is this product actually a must-have? Or did you get it in a gift bag and, yeah, it's not too shabby. Or worse (but understandably)—did your friend found a company and you’re giving her free press?

We want to know: What do people spend real dollar dollar bills on? We're dying to hear what you buy and re-buy, what you recommend with every fiber of your being, what your hard won earnings go toward. With brands sending free stuff to the microest of influencers, we decided it's high time for a roundup series that includes exclusively products that have been purchased and loved outright. Think of Receipts as a fun-things-only money diaries.

Jaclyn Johnson is a founder (of Create & Cultivate, a community for female millennial entrepreneurs), a co-founder (Cherub connects angel investors and entrepreneurs through dating app mechanics), and an advisor and investor (in Away, Chillhouse, Lusso Cloud, Crown Affair, and Ceremonia to name a few). Needless to say, she knows a great product when she sees one.

So, we were curious to find out which products she spends her hard-earned cash on. Below, the entrepreneur, dog mom, sommelier and foodie dishes on all her favorite finds…

I am a popcorn addict! I love using this avocado oil because it has a higher heat point than olive oil and tastes delicious! Pro-tip: add a little salt & nutritional yeast to your popcorn for the ultimate savory snack.
