Day 506 : How to Save / How to Splurge Dispatch # 21

This week's How to Save / How to Splurge dispatch is coming at you a bit late, but better late than never. Get thee to Zabar's and buy the first part of your July 4th cheese plate -- Pleasant Ridge Reserve from Wisconsin, clocking in at $13.98 for a half pound, better than anywhere else around town. This aged, nutty raw cow's milk cheese is buttery, rustic, and all around fantastic.

Modeled on the great French Pyrenees mountain cheeses this is the perfect Patriotic choice to ring in your July 4th weekend right!
