Anna Cathcart may have bougie taste when it comes to groceries, but she knows a deal when she sees one—it just might take a few practice rounds. From being totally stumped on maple syrup (maybe because she’s the only Canadian who doesn’t like it?) to claiming a pen doesn’t *sound* expensive, the star of ‘XO Kitty’ proves just how well she can spot a bargain versus a splurge. Anna puts all her senses to the test, showing off her protein bar expertise and nailing the difference between ‘real’ and vegan cheese.

00:00That sound is coming from a $90 pen.
00:03It's crazy.
00:05Hi, I'm Anna Cathcart,
00:06and I'm playing Expensive Taste Test with Cosmo.
00:11I have expensive taste in groceries.
00:14Irrationally, I'll be like,
00:15I don't really need to buy cheese that's like $19,
00:17but I want to.
00:19Pretty much everything else, not really.
00:22I love a deal.
00:24da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:26Da-da-da, da-da-da.
00:28First thing is bands.
00:30This is so cute.
00:32That's crazy, they're like exactly the same colors
00:34and same pattern.
00:37I feel like this is obvious.
00:38This has gold on it.
00:39No one has the budget for gold.
00:41This is yellow.
00:42And this also is overcompensating
00:44by how bright the colors are.
00:45You don't need to do that because they're quality.
00:48This is like gradual.
00:49This is like color printer.
00:51Also, let me test if this opens nicer.
00:55That's pretty good.
01:01Okay, maybe it was me.
01:03But still, I would be shocked if this was cheaper.
01:08Maybe I'm overconfident,
01:09but I think this one's more expensive.
01:11Ding.
01:13No, you're joking.
01:15You're joking.
01:17How?
01:18How?
01:19This one has gold that actually shines.
01:21This looks like it's from the dollar store.
01:22So sorry to whoever made this, but what?
01:25♪ Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba! ♪
01:31We have pens on a bed of crystals, which I appreciate.
01:36Oh, there's weight to this.
01:38They both twist.
01:40I'm gonna say twist is a sign of hotel,
01:43but they both twist.
01:45They're also both the exact same colors.
01:47Let me test them.
01:48This is way more telling.
01:50Oh, it's blank, a fresh blank notebook.
01:54This is so side tangent,
01:56but a blank notebook that has a close,
01:59that is my like always criteria for a good journal.
02:02I'm a very avid journaler, but I can't do lined paper
02:05and it has to close,
02:06because it just feels like if you wrote something personal,
02:08it's like secure.
02:10People can open it,
02:11but it feels like it won't like fall open.
02:14Sign it.
02:15That's pretty good.
02:18Oh, it's blue.
02:20That was shocking.
02:21That also doesn't give expensive.
02:23A black pen that's blue ink.
02:28I wrote hello, but I didn't really finish the H
02:30and then I didn't finish the hello either,
02:32so I record that.
02:33Hello and then signatures and hearts.
02:36This one's like loose in like the actual pen.
02:40Like it feels like it could break.
02:42This one's like, she's locked and loaded.
02:44Like that does not sound expensive,
02:48even though this is giving hotel.
02:50I think this is cheaper.
02:57Guys, I should just leave.
03:00I should just go.
03:01That's really upsetting.
03:03Is this a hotel pen?
03:04It's $3.
03:07$90.
03:09What?
03:10What?
03:12That sound is coming from a $90 pen.
03:15Is crazy.
03:19The bowl is so fancy.
03:23I like it already.
03:24Honey?
03:26Oh, cause I'm Canadian.
03:30I understand.
03:32Let's go Canada.
03:33Okay, well.
03:38It's pungent.
03:43I feel like that one's less strong,
03:45but that could also be a sign of like real
03:47because this is like artificial.
03:49So they just like toss in a lot.
03:55I don't really like maple syrup very much as a disclosure.
03:59I love these little things,
04:00but they're not really useful.
04:01Oh.
04:09I'm gonna be honest.
04:10They're really, really similar.
04:11Just out of energy from the bowls radiating.
04:15I feel like this one's cheaper.
04:18I can feel it being like on a funnel cake
04:20more than this one.
04:21So I'm gonna say this one's cheaper.
04:22This one's more expensive.
04:26I'm really doing well at this game so far.
04:29Really good streak.
04:36I have two neckties in front of me.
04:38You can tell the texture is very different.
04:41Whoa.
04:42This is so stiff.
04:44And incredibly nimble.
04:48Not the same vibes at all.
04:51Both could give cheap for very different reasons.
04:58This one does remind me of the Kiss tie for sure.
05:00It's the same color scheme.
05:01This one's like dressier, I feel like.
05:04This one's a lot more rough.
05:06This one's a lot more smooth.
05:07And like the of it, and this is like stiff.
05:10That's a huge difference.
05:13Like this one, you can see the fold still in it.
05:15Even if it's unfolded.
05:16This one's like, you're not gonna catch fold lines on her.
05:19I think this one's more expensive.
05:23Yes, finally!
05:25Yay!
05:32In front of me, I have protein bars
05:34and I have a lot of experience with protein bars.
05:36My family like eats them way too much.
05:39My friends tease me for it all the time
05:40because I will have a protein bar in my bag
05:41at any given point.
05:42Even if it's like a tiny person,
05:43we're like going clubbing,
05:44I will have a protein bar with me.
05:46Like truly, truly.
05:48I don't know, I don't wanna get ahead of myself,
05:49but I feel like I recognize her.
05:51Also there's dust on this.
05:53So many protein bars, I've never seen red dust on one.
05:56It's giving air one.
05:59Hold on, I feel like I know what this is.
06:05This is a peanut butter.
06:08I know my bars, you guys.
06:09This is the flavor that no one in my family likes
06:12and we always have it at the end of the value pack
06:14because we all like the other flavors better.
06:16You can't fool me.
06:17She's not expensive, I know that.
06:19If you are going in the gym
06:21and you're finishing your workout
06:22and you're like, oh, I need some protein
06:23and you go pick this up,
06:24there's not even a bottom.
06:28Whoa.
06:31Oh, it's just a lot of peanut butter.
06:35Not a big fan, but it's definitely more expensive.
06:40Ding.
06:42Absolutely, I'm so proud.
06:43She said it's a.
06:48I'm making my dad proud today, truly.
06:56These are cheese puffs.
06:57These are cheese puffs.
06:58I've never remotely seen anything like them before.
07:02This looks like a regular cheese puff.
07:07Oh, it smells like nothing.
07:08Also smells like nothing.
07:10People who wanna buy an expensive cheese puff
07:13don't wanna feel like they're buying a regular cheese puff.
07:15Therefore, they don't want it to look like this.
07:17The orange dye in this, not getting expensive.
07:20This is giving we're organic.
07:22Organic is expensive and like keto,
07:25you know what I mean?
07:27That's what this looks like.
07:32Totally organic, for sure.
07:36And like vegan, maybe?
07:39Because this is real cheese,
07:40but like different type of fake.
07:45For sure, more expensive.
07:50Are they vegan?
07:51They are vegan.
07:53Shut up.
08:00In front of me, I have two cold brew coffees.
08:03This is a very new obsession of mine.
08:04I'm like very recently in love with cold brew.
08:07This one has like a ring of like bubbles of some kind.
08:12This one does not.
08:13I don't know what that means.
08:14I just felt like it was worth mentioning.
08:19Whoa, it's very sweet.
08:21Okay, okay.
08:23Very sweet.
08:29Less strong, less sweet.
08:32Much more like watered down,
08:33but also, I mean, they just put a lot of syrup in it
08:36because it's not good cold brew.
08:39My go-to coffee order is just a cold brew
08:41with a little bit of milk.
08:42So I don't really like super sweet coffee,
08:44so it's kind of throwing me off.
08:46I feel like these both came out of a can.
08:48I'm gonna go with the sweetness
08:49is trying to cover something up.
08:51I'm gonna say this one's cheaper.
08:52This one's more expensive.
08:57Yay!
08:58They are trying to cover it up.
09:00They just threw in a bunch of syrup.
09:07These are glasses.
09:09I'm excited about this one.
09:10Okay, let's see.
09:12It's very reflective.
09:15Okay.
09:20These have like a inner lining almost,
09:22like the inside is white
09:24and the outside is also like where the lens is is colored,
09:28which is kind of funky.
09:29This one has more metal on it.
09:31It's hard to tell because I'm saying these are pink,
09:33but like that doesn't really matter
09:36because I think they just look like novelty fun glasses
09:38because they're pink, but that's not fair.
09:40People love pink.
09:44That's like pretty like boom type of open.
09:49Hold on.
09:50Whoa, way different, way stickier.
09:53I guess sticky is cheaper based off of like guessing
09:58because I feel like all of my observations
10:01do not really tell me anything.
10:04I'm gonna say these ones are more expensive.
10:09Yay!
10:10I hope that me wearing glasses
10:13inspires other people to wear glasses
10:15because I grew up feeling pretty girls don't wear glasses
10:18and it makes me so mad that that's like a thing in media.
10:21It's like who wears glasses on TV?
10:24Not very many teenage girls or like girls in their 20s
10:27unless they're like studying, which doesn't make sense.
10:31Your eyes will not work no matter what you're doing.
10:34I really hope someone feels confident in their glasses
10:37because they've seen you wearing mine.
10:39That's like a dream of mine.
10:41Okay, she passed.
10:43I got five out of eight right,
10:44which I feel like is pretty good
10:46and I can walk out of here confident in myself.
10:49Thank you so much for watching
10:50and make sure to watch season two of XO Kitty
10:53now on Netflix.
