Introduction to Budget Hedonism

I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, a man of great means. I do, however, enjoy the things that great means often provide. This puts me at a slight disadvantage. Unfortunately, this is a disadvantage that many people today are facing. How can one enjoy the worlds greatest culinary pleasures on a limited income?

My challenge over the coming months, is to provide reviews and insights into some of life's great consumable pleasures, which also happen to be affordable. Great beer, wine, food and spirits are closer to your reach than you may think.

One of the great obstacles here is overcoming the variety of opinions on what is affordable. One person's entry level $40 bottle of scotch is another man's premiere extravagance. I will try to focus on the principal of value as compared to quality and let you decide what is ultimately within your budget. Each post, excluding recipes, will contain a value/quality ratio at the bottom of the page, with a 10/10 rating signifying the greatest value to quality ratio and 1/1 the lowest.

Finally, I do not claim or believe that consumable goods are a replacement for the great loves and friendships that life provides, but they certainly add to the joy of being alive. I look forward to your comments and criticisms.


Sincerely,


The Budget Hedonist
