    Organic foods, particularly fruits and veggies.

    Amy's and Kashi's frozen foods.

    Lots of stuff at Whole Foods in general, love that store but can rarely afford to shop there.

    -boneless skinless chicken breast.. Well any chicken really, haven't been able to afford it since like march.
    -Also fancy cheeses , I work in a deli so I get an occasional taste of them but there has been a bottle of red wine sitting in my fridge for 2 months calling out for some brie cheese.
    -I also want to switch my meat consumption to free range local meat... but I can't afford to yet.

    I was going to say foie gras, but don't want to be THAT d-bag in the forums today.

    All organic food! I think it would be healthier, but food is already so dang expensive, I just can't bring myself to do it!

    I think this food belongs on the "if you could eat anything without gaining weight" post! I LOVE foie gras! The best thing I ever ate was a grilled cheese sandwich made with foie gras and fontina cheese! O-M-G!!!!!!! I want one now! Also someone posted caviar! Yes, please!

    I ditto the Amy's and Kashi's meals and will also say cherries. I've been eating cherries this week because they were on sale at Publix. I wish I could eat them all the time.

    Wow! You guys are making me hungry!!! hahaha! There is a lot of great sounding food here :bigsmile: I am really interested in the 25 year old balsamic vinegar, and I've actually never tried foie gras!

    There are other things I looove here too. Not to rub it in (ok, just a little:drinker: ), but my school cafeteria (really expensive though) has sushi chefs who make legit all-you-can-eat sushi. That paired with all-you-can-drink Jamba Juice among other things is why I joined MFP :laugh:

    fresh asparagus, fresh artichokes. To get enough to feed a family of four as a side during dinner one night is almost our whole week's budget.
    I used to love lobsters and shrimp, but after having DD1 my taste went off on them and hasn't returned since. I guess I'm glad about that hearing about how expensive they are today. I do love a good leg of lamb but it's ususally very expensive so that is a rare treat.
