What are your ten favorite "splurge" food items at the grocery store?

What are your favorite "splurge" food items at the grocery store?  What is a splurge or treat to buy?  Some of mine (more than ten, but I have so many!):

 

  • Crab legs
  • Goat cheese and other gourmet cheeses (although i've been getting good deals at ALDI)
  • Steak
  • Honeycrisp apples (when in season) - my dh likes these
  • The "expensive" frozen pizzas (not like Jacks or Bernatellos)
  • The olive/cheese bar in the deli
  • Frozen key lime pie
  • The Cadbury chocolate bars with the caramel inside (a very rare treat)
  • VERY big shrimp.  The super-jumbo kind that are not pre-cooked.
  • Good hard salami and other charcuterie
  • Saffron
  • Buddy's Orange Soda (a MN regional thing)

Hmmm....

 

The main things I can think of would be shellfish (crab/lobster/shrimp). Or salmon. I guess higher-end cheeses; berries. I buy berries when they are at the best price, or at the local farm market, but not as much as I buy other fruit.

 

We pretty much always have goat cheese in the house, and we do eat a lot of steak. We never buy frozen pizzas. I make my own key lime pie. I buy whichever hard, crisp apples are on sale, except for "delicious" as we don't like those. Don't eat olives anymore.

 

Cadbury bars don't do it for me, but I buy the chocolate at Aldi all the time. I don't buy salami much due to the calories anyway. I've got saffron coming out of my ears. DH just gave me a jar for Xmas, completely forgetting that we still have a couple containers we never opened yet from our trip to Spain.

 

OK - I got it - high end ginger ale. The really hot/spicy ginger ale you might find at Whole Foods - 4 bottles for around 5-6 bucks. That is a rare treat for me.  Maybe I'll have one tonight!
