Cheese
While perhaps not considered essential in the most dire times, people love cheese. It’s a versatile food and one that comes in all sorts of varieties that can be used as the crux of a big meal, or as a decadent snack. But cheese can also be pricey, especially at certain specialty food stores. Costco has quite the impressive cheese selection and often at very competitive prices. This is certainly worth exploring for those who keep cheese around the house.
