The Kitchn compiles some foods that are worth splurging on according to foodies!
Check out the article here. (pops) to get the full list.
Some of my favorites, and I completely agree with:
Good coffee: Pick your favorite region and roast and taste the difference every morning!
Cheese: Pick your favorite, just realize cheese shouldn't come in individually wrapped plastic and say it's "shelf stable". I like a nice Brie on bread or Blue on burgers.
Fresh eggs: This is for my wife, because to me eggs are eggs. But pay a little more for a fresher taste, and a more ethical way of keeping chickens.
Toilet paper: Ok, not food, but worth the splurge! Otherwise you'll pay for it in the end. LOL! Made myself laugh.
