Note: I don't accept any payments for writing about a product. I am not an "affiliate" and I do NOT make a penny if you click on a link.
Sometimes I discover nuggets through word of mouth. Most of the time I find them by doing hours and hours of research that my readers don't have time to do.
When I find a potential nugget, I use it myself. I will only write about something if it still excites me even after the honeymoon period.
Nuggets can be bargains or they can relatively expensive. But no matter how much they cost, they have to exceed expectations in order to be a nugget. A find. A diamond in the rough, so to speak.
