I just spent my entire daily food budget on cherries and enjoyed every last one of them.
Good thing I have other great staples on hand!
like oats, chia seeds and coconut yogurt!
What do you splurge on?

Mmmm...cherries! Gotta splurge sometimes:-)
ReplyDeleteBerries are my favorite splurge. They're always expensive, and ALWAYS worth it. (In my opinion, anyway.) I splurged today on some raw, local honey at the farmers market. Responsible? Maybe not, but it made me feel a little less like I was sacrificing with my frugal April budget. :)
ReplyDeleteThose cherries look gorgeous, by the way.
kombucha, until my homemade batches are ready. i haven't seen cherries here yet but i can't wait until its cherry season. yum.
ReplyDeleteill splurge on raw nuts and stevia:)
ReplyDelete1. Dried blueberries for the blueberry cornmeal bread in 500 Vegan Recipes.
ReplyDelete2. New spices for experimenting with (at present) Thai food. Going to make my own yellow curry.
3. Seeds and stuff for starting my garden, which I hope will end up if not a bargain, less of a splurge by the end of the summer, but it is my first garden....
I definitely splurge on fruit, too!
ReplyDelete(And then there was that 4-lb jar of jellybeans from Costco a couple of weeks ago . . . !!) :)
Cherries are SO good...totally worth the splurge :-)

We are in the vERY beginning stages of going raw and can't wait to dive into your site! We have 4 kids and they love spinach smoothies...haven't tried other greens yet. Thank you for this site and if you have ANY advice let me know.
ReplyDeleteProbably bulk nuts, esp when they aren't on sale! Or a fresh coconut, which of course we don't ever get in Alaska. I try and buy and stock up only when things are on sale!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a perfect splurge! I love cherries!
ReplyDeleteLove cherries definitely worth the splurge, I also splurge on kombucha, organic blueberries, nuts, and marys crackers!
ReplyDeleteI love everyone's splurges!
ReplyDeleteGrapefruit. 18 pounds of it!
ReplyDeleteCherries---yes I have splurged on that before.
ReplyDeleteI splurged today.....got a vegan mint chocolate moonpie. Never had one before. Here's to Thursday!
