My daily indulgence is my morning tea. Each morning, I attempt to wake before the rest of the household, I boil my water in the kettle. Place a teabag in my cat/fish cup (it's a pretty big one) and pour the water over it. I let it steep, probably two minutes, add three teaspoons of sugar, and a splash of milk.
I look at my grocery receipts for the coupon savings amounts. I tally and that is what we can spend on splurges. This month My son got The Unit Season 4 DVD set and I got my 2 Mag subscriptions at Amazon for 50% off. Things we will enjoy for some time to come, not just momentarily.
I save up all my samples of nice bath things, candles, mags, etc and have a long, unintIerrupted bath.
I usually have showers, so a bath is a real indulgence for me, both in enjoyment and the time of solitude.
Like many others on this thread, books are my indulgence. I keep it frugal by
1. visiting our library, which has a display of books on sale for .50-$1.00.
2. posting and ordering books on my fave bookswapping sites: bookmooch.com and paperbackswap.com
3. ordering them used on Amazon. Many books are as little as .01 (and then media mail shipping of $3.99).
My splurge is going to sound so funny, but my DVR is my luxury! We are trying to cut costs and I fought for my DVR! I LOVE it! My first tri-mester I was so sick that I started to way WAY more TV than usual. Now, I have my favorite TV shows but sometimes they interfer with my daughter's bedtime routine. Plus sometimes I don't want to stay up till 10pm to watch them! So, I record them and I LOVE IT! I can skip commercials so I spend less time in front of the TV. I can watch an hr show in 45 minutes! It's great and I refuse to give it up!
Love this one! We could never live without out DVR!
To add to the conversation, mine is sushi bought at Publix. I don't do it very often, but I treat myself 1x/month.
