One simple (inexpensive) luxury?

A tomato sandwich with no cheese or ham, that's not a luxury it's more like cheap rations.
Can a luxury ever be inexpensive?
But in the spirit of the OP.

sorry forgot the 'S' and the deliciously slippery butter of course.

Considering you can pay up to £2000 for a bottle, once I year I treat myself and Mrs Chopper to a bottle of Puligny Montrachet, usually on our wedding anniversary which is this week, no more than £50 but still absolute nectar.

I wish I had thought of that and there's me with my pretentious bottle of wine.

Is there any maker you favour? Or merchant you buy from? Burgundy is so fraught with danger... (Maybe you don't want to share this golden info!!!)
I put it to you that, depending on where you are on this whole life journey thing, that could actually be very expensive. So expensive that most people are unable to do it.
I need to think about my answer.

I wish I was that knowledgeable about it.
I would either go to Waitrose or that very rare thing nowadays a decent wine shop and let them recommend but any Montrachet to me is wonderful.
My sister in law got my wife a bottle for her 50th birthday it was about £70 and the best bottle of wine I have ever tasted so god knows what a proper bottle tastes like.
But as for producers and best years etc, no, not a clue.

Cheese, just cheese. (& maybe some pickle) that's all.

Morrisons own brand sugar free muesli. Get through 2-3 bowls of it daily. Then again Morrisons jam doughnuts, 5 for 50p....hmmm...

by definition, no. "inexpensive luxury" could mean a small luxury that is not a necessity. i would say the OP means inexpensive treasure, greatly valued but not necessarily costing much.
