Some people may read this blog and think we are living a very austere life since we don't spend much money on day to day living. But I learned from my grandmother many years ago that it doesn't take much money to indulge yourself. She never had a fur coat or an international vacation but she used to say that just buying a pair of socks at the Five and Dime (an old fashioned store where most things were five or ten cents...this was A LONG time ago!) was one of her inexpensive indulgences.
Here are 20 ways I like to indulge myself on the cheap...
- Washing and ironing my sheets (I love the feel of freshly washed and ironed sheets)
- Buying a new shade of nail polish.
- Getting a haircut.
- Buying a new pen (the Pilot Precise V7 is my favorite!)
- A good chocolate candy bar (Milka from Germany is my favorite)
- Buying new lipstick.
- Walking in the park or the mountains.
- Baking cookies or other desserts.
- Going to a matinee movie (they are only $4 where we live)
- Watching old movies on the classic movie station (I love movies from the 1940s and 1950s)
- Having a Baskin Robins Blast (I think I indulge in these way too often though)
- Cleaning (oddly enough cleaning things makes me happy and relaxed)
- Buying fancy soap (like olive oil based with roses or lavender)
- Buying fancy cheese (like really good Parmesan)
- Buying a new blank book (I'm really picky about these books they need to have quality paper and a nice cover design)
- Doing my own facial, manicure, and pedicure.
- Buying fresh flowers.
- Making elaborate smoothies.
- Reading.
- Shopping at the Asian grocery store and picking up new things to try to cook.
