Wandering aimlessly round the supermarket wondering what to have for dinner I thought sod it and bought an expensive free range organic chicken for my dinner. Roasted it with whole lemons and coriander and it was fantastic, really noticed the difference.
So, luxury for me but boredom for you, what is or was your equivalent?

"Not a chicken but chicken eggs. I always buy the most expensive ones. They look better and cook better."
I only charge £1 for 6 for mine, can't claim them to be organic because their layers pellets aren't but the chickens are free range and get fresh veggies each day. |

"Really decent coffee, made with freshly ground beans, cosy on the cafetiere, bone china cup warmed with hot water and a little hot milk.
Deadly boring for everyone. Luxury for me "
No, that sounds like something all us coffee lovers should set time for at least once a day. |

"Heinz five beanz rather than regular Heinz beans.
That's Posh, lovely, on fancy toast? "
Definitely, on a crusty, granary loaf. Which in itself is another boring luxury, instead of using warburtons toastie slice. |

Lidl have a couple of really nice granny and multigrain breads less than 90p a loaf. |

"Pink Lady apples every time... twice the price, but ten times sweeter and crispier  "
They certainly are, do like a granny smith though, but Pink Lady are an apple's apple. |

"I like pate and toast...
Most mornings, well anytime really!  "
Is it me or are most now either just smooth or only slight coarse, but what about on Melba toast or those Swedish crispy things that come in a paper bag, texture difference makes it work. |

"Bought truffle powder to add to some of our pasta dishes. It can turn a boring pasta into something really luxurious. "
Not oil? Never seen powder but plain pasta is boring so that does sound fantastic. |

We bought it in Germany and didn't have checked baggage so we couldn't get the truffle oil. The powder is just as good, though. I'm in heaven  |

I think it’s awesome to have meat less often maybe and rather seeking out quality, adequately kept meat for your dinner!!

Milk, White and Dark chocolate coated coffee beans from Waitrose with hot port and the best cocoa mixed in. The chocolate and Port hit is lovely, and the original way that chocolate was consumed in London. |

And the mangos are for the folates."
The mangoes help you float, what, like water wings!? |

Am going down that route and in the case of the chicken every bit will be used. The cooking juices will be used to make soup along with the carcass. |

"Almond butter
On toast! 
On seeded oat crackers! (gasp!) 
That sounds tastier.
It is fabulous on toast, but if I started eating that I don't think I'd ever stop!"
I suppose like any luxury, moderation is the watch word otherwise it becomes the mundane. Have just a smidgen every now and again. |

Luxury is having duck/venison for tea, always nice to have a treat. |

Proper thick crusty bread, proper salted butter, premium quality butchers sausage.
That’s luxury for me as I have to contend with wholemeal thin bread, no butter and rubber sausages for my diet

Treated myself to proper loose leaf Assam tea last night, brewed in my glass diffuser teapot.
I swear it tastes 100 times nicer than my usual teabag in a cup.
