[quote=Anonymous]Cherry tomatoes? A couple of bucks for a box with 30.  Capers can be bought for less than 1.50 in a jar.  Trader Joe's risotto?  Big box for $5.  I use cubes for stock - yes, about $1.79 a box.  Onions are less than fifty cents apiece.  Yes, a wedge of parmesan will run you five or six dollars -- unheard of extravagance!  Four sticks of butter will cost almost as much.  Little packet of cilantro at Giant -- less than two dollars.  Apples, pears, and oranges are the most economical fruits -- unlike strawberries, cherries, mangoes, or even grapes.  When I say cream I don't mean Cool Whip.  I mean Self Whip -- as in the kind you buy in the big container in the dairy section.  That will set you back another three dollars, though.  Fresh raspberries probably go about $3-4 a pint, which I why I suggested them for garnish only.  Look for a big bag of frozen raspberries at Trader Joe's if you can cough up the requisite four bucks.  Goat cheese -- again, one small round would suffice for the recipe and that would cost five or six bucks max.[/quote]
