#3 was a huge thing for me last fall! My dh knew that the best way to make me happy was to suggest stopping at a gas station where they were sold!

You can sign up for coupon e-mails from DQ (last time I checked, at least.) I love the Pumpkin Pie Blizzard too!

My frugal favorites are

Hot chocolate from Dunkin Donuts
A good book (library books are my fav, because it's okay if I don't like them)
A new CD (which I haven't gotten in about 2 1/2 years LOL!)
New nail polish
Getting my hair cut and colored
Soft, comfy warm socks
Jasmine and Sandalwood incense by Prasad

Oh - I feel more relaxed just typing these things out

Long, hot bubble bath
Going to the library and getting a bunch of books to read- bonus, getting to go by myself
makeup on clearance for 75% off at Target
My favorite good cheap wine $8/bottle
Surfing the net
sitting on my swing in the summertime reading a book and drinking a big glass of iced tea.
sunflower seeds- the kind in the shell
Not having anywhere I HAVE to go or anything that HAS to be done!


I actually got to do most of those things today! And I enjoyed the wine and a good, trashy romance novel while I was in the tub! Perfect end to a day, in my opinion!

Okay, one absolute favorite that I can't even remember the last time I did- sleeping late!!

These are a few of my favorite (frugal) things...

Freshly brewed coffee with a sprinkle of cinnamon
homeade ice cream...I have several great flavors I rotate
Glass of wine with dinner ($9/bottle or less...a rare treat these days)
Warm fluffy socks
Chick flicks or a great book from the library during nap time (with a bowl of the previously mentioned ice cream! What an indulgence!)
Magazine subscriptions (I'm a recipe-junkie, so mostly food magazines)

I'm sure there are more!

1. Victoria's Secret bras
2. Lucky Charms
3. Renting movies
4. Spending $10 dollars or less at the GoodWill As Is store
5. A Mcdonald's Cappucino
6. A bike ride to Dairy Queen in the summer

1. Candles - I burn a candle everyday, which I know is not too frugal, but I do get them cheap when they are on sale, or by hosting a party lite party.

2. Chocolate or ice cream - I am like the lady on the dove choc commercials, kind of go dreamy over my choc and ice cream!

3. Books - I get them free from the library and I love, love, love to read a good book!

4. A quiet evening at home with my hubby and kids - I love the quiet nights after dinner and baths and all of the work is done and we just sit there together in the qiuet and dim the lights and relax with the kids cuddling in our arms.

Fall is my favorite season!
"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your path straight." Proverbs 3:5-6

1. An occasional donut to munch while I shop (keeps away the food impulse buys!)
2. The $1/2 movie shelves at the video store
3. The free exercise videos at the video store (and when dd gets bigger, the free kids movies!)
4. Hot cup of coffee while I grocery shop (85 cents w/my own cup). This goes w/the donut.
5. $1/yard fabric for my sewing projects--one yard and 5 hems later, and I have a new skirt!
