Ask Should I boost every good post on Facebook?

[Newman]

Not every post needs boosting because some can get natural attention from your audience. Boosting is paying to show a post to more people outside your usual followers. It works well for posts that already have engagement or promote something important, like a product or event. Posts that are very general or personal may not get much extra benefit if boosted. It is helpful to check the performance of a post first and see which type of content brings results before spending money. Small boosts for testing can show what works without overspending. Choosing posts with clear goals can make boosting more effective. How do you decide which posts should be boosted to reach more people?

Boosting works best when you actually want something specific to happen, like getting more people to a event, sending folks to a link, or growing your page. If it's just a fun or random post, boosting it won't really do much for you. A better move is to watch which posts are already getting solid engagement and only throw a little money at the ones that support your goals. That way you're not burning your budget for nothing.
