Welcome to the world of Balsamic snobs :-)

Use the cheap stuff to make up a bottle of EVOO and balsamic dressing for
salads. I use a large bottle (Lea and Perrins Worcestershire sauce) with
the plastic nozzle on top to regulate flow.

It's usually 3 parts oil to one part balsamic, but I end up mixing it to
taste.

Give it a *very* vigorous and protracted shake, and put it in the fridge
for consumption over the coming weeks. (Shake well before splashing onto
your salads.)

Probably not.... and.... save up :-)
