Maybe this has already been done, but I am wondering what are some of everyone's simple pleasure's in life that you refuse to let go of even though you're trying to save money and/or pay down debt?

Some of mine are:
*Scrapbooking- I just stick to my scrapbooking budget
*Coffees- I make them at home instead of buying them though
*Getting my hair colored- I feel better about myself when I do whether I do it or I pay to have it done.
*Downloading music for my MP3 player- I listen to it so much I need variety

* Driving through McDonalds for a Coke
* Getting my eyebrows waxed- same as coloring my hair! I feel better when I do it.
* Bath and Body Works products- need I say more!

* I'm with you on the hair color. I look forward to that appointment every six weeks.
* Good shoes. I don't ever pay full price for them, and I haven't been able to add to my collection for a long time. But I've known too many people with painful feet brought on by wearing cheap shoes.

I would have to go with cable tv - in the winter time with a baby, there's not much else to do but watch tv! I work outside of the home and treat myself to a (cheap) lunch out once or twice a week, although I'm working on that one.

there's nothing I love more than going to bed when I've washed my sheets and stuff...I'm telling ya girls if you haven't tried the new "simple pleasures" fabric softener(I think by Tide) you are SERIOUSLY missing out...I add an extra 1/2 capful to sheets and save that fabric softener just for bedding....oh man...I love stripping the bed linens now!!!!!!!!!

Simple pleasures for me are:

Reading a good book
Bedtime
Getting my 18 mos. old out of his crib in the morning, he always has the biggest smile and is soo happy to see me,it is a GREAT way to start the day
