inThought the water reducer was a gimmick until a pour in Phoenix went sideways
The strength thing usually comes down to your water cement ratio staying the same, which is the whole point of using it instead of just adding water at the truck. Where guys get in trouble is they keep dosing higher and higher to chase slump and never check the mix design, so the plant ends up shorting cement to balance it out. Keep your batch tickets and do a few cylinder breaks at 28 days if you're worried, cheap peace of mind.

inUsed to dismiss pottery shards at my local dig site in Yorkshire, then a museum curator showed me one rim piece with fingerprints still on it from 3,000 years ago
Pottery shards with fingerprints, cool, but is it really that deep?

inMy grocery budget hit $212 for the month and I actually laughed at the receipt
Switching to store brand everything at Aldi cut mine by like $80 a month, the generic stuff tastes the same honestly. Also started cooking double batches on Sunday so I'm not grabbing takeout when I'm tired after work.
