  • What are your little luxuries?

    This may be something already discussed in the past, but I was wondering what little luxuries you are keeping in your life? While cutting out the waste in my daily life, I am finding myself pondering what little thing makes my day. I know that having the freedom of no debt and more savings is priceless, but I wondered what little things others might have kept in their lives.

    I love a glass of Hood low carb chocolate milk. It is expensive, but I usually have a coupon.

        Going out to dinner, and Starbucks lattes (which I have cut waaayyyy back on, to the point of maybe 2 or 3 a month now).

          I have many "little luxuries" (under $10):
          Yesterday I bought two magazines -- "Cooks Illustrated" and "Fitness"
          I also buy an espresso drink at least weekly
          Breakfast out once a month
          A bag of potato chips, or a bowl of popcorn and a DVD rental or three
          Lunch out with a friend
          Bubble baths or scented baths with epsom salts
          The Shadow pulp novels
          Fresh seafood and organic meat from farmers' markets
          Flowers every couple of months
          Magazine Subscriptions

            Flowers are cool. Hadn't thought of that. My daughter still buys flowers for her apartment. When she was a child, we'd go to the neighborhood florist and she'd take her vase. they would always give her a free flower for it. Such a cool memory.

              For years I've worn the same perfume. It cost 100.00 for a bottle and the treatment cream is 72.00. It goes so well with my chemistry.
              I still get my hair done, my eyebrows tweezed and a monthly pedicure/manicure.
              I love seafood so I treat myself to the 15.00 buffet about once a month.

                    A steady supply of Milk Duds and Dove chocolates. Every once in awhile I'll spring for Russel Stover!

                          Bath & Body Works soaps. Of course, I buy them at the after Christmas sale for $2 eash. I think I've stocked the whole house for the year on $20 worth.
