Day 422 : How to Save / How to Splurge Dispatch #9

How to Save:


Tonight's post will be short and sweet, I apologize folks. Ever walk into a normal not too exciting, just run of the mill supermarket and wonder what to buy? Sometimes I do the same -- most affordable / most appealing cheees are on offer but what can I find?  Something fabulous and unique? Yes you find your cheddars, your goudas, your blue cheeses, your mozzarellas, your goat's cheeses, but which one of these if you were in that situation would you buy and know that although it wasn't a lot of money, it would still be an investment in taste? Which would be across the board reliable and dynamically delish?

Traditionally a lot of supermarket cheeses are just all around terrible, either too plastic-y, not at all similar to their original intention but there is an exception to the rule -- young goat's milk cheeses . Yes they are well known and un-exciting, but they across the board deliver. Every supermarket will have a log of chevre and whether or not it seems interesting and unique, you can buy that cheese for $5 at most probably depending on the scale and turn into a plethora or other opportunities. This cheese can be utilized to create dips, sauces, and spreads or can be infused with veggies, herbs, fruits and spices, or for drinks and linking relations, you name it, this is your special sauce.

So when you've got no money in your wallet, a fresh goat cheese is the way to go, it has that artisanal je' ne  c'est quoi to it while still maintaining a fabulous versatility! Grab a log and infuse it with herbs, oils, veggies, and more and I promise this will be the most affordable, accessible cheese canvas.

Tomorrow I will recommend a variety of go-to affordable cheeses that fall under this umbrella however they are easy to uncover at your local grocer.

Good night folks!
