What items do you treat yourself to when you're on a budget, and your net worth isn't even close to that of Oprah Winfrey? Let's name the Frugal Mom's Favorite Things!


Some of mine:
1. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (cheap, and great)
2. Old Navy Yoga Pants
3. TiVo Subscription
4. Chipotle Burritos

Game night with the kids and no tv.
Walks or bike rides
Once a year out with the girls
Going to the beach and playing volleyball with my kids with a picnic lunch
Once a month craft day with my sisters and nieces
Twice a year taking off work to go flea market and garage sales in the upclass areas.
