I don't think I could pay $17.99/lb for cheese unless it was going to give me an orgasm or something. But it sounds good.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

I would (and have) paid that much and more for cheese. Because... cheese.

My current favorite coat is a Ben Sherman. It's all swoopy and retro and delicious.

This is why I like going when samples are out.
Also, when stores have the teeny little pieces that are a buck or so, so it's like getting a candy bar, only made of really good cheese.

I get weird about spending when it's something I'm going to eat. It's going to be gone in a minute! But I agree ... cheese.

I do spend a stupid amount of money on food. I tend to spend a lot of money on experiences/in the moment type things, I hate *stuff*.

I think that's a good practice, though. I could definitely do with less stuff.
Unless you're talking about books or earrings.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I try and let my grocery shopping budget be the loosest of all my budgets. Because...food! This works better when I cook and don't order out, however.
I was so suckered in by the samples I didn't check the price of the cheese. It wasn't until I got home that I thought "Ooh, big number."
Mmm. Cheese. Another thing I wish I knew more about.

That's how the fancy cheeses always get me. But then they are delicious, so it's not so bad.
I have fig spread. And not so fancy cheese. But those are not things that need eating up before they go bad, alas.

I forget who told me about it, but using wax paper as a cover in the microwave has all the convenience of plastic wrap, and none of the downside, like melting or tightening up, plus it's slightly enough water permeable that the excess steam escapes. Connie-Bob says give it a try.
