How do you fight the urge to splurge?

I go to Dollar Tree and buy a $1 nail polish or some new makeup and come home for a manicure/pedicure or a makeover.

You will laugh but my husband and I love picking out a great copy cat recipe and making it for the kids as well as having a great movie rental night or one we have from our collection and making a special family night. We have our version of a famous pizza

game place night etc. I also love going to my "special boutiques " ( thrift stores and looking for nwt designer clothes, handbags for myself or kids) I have one new a University town that I always find some great nwt , our local one has had some lately too. We also love going to the library I usually have to reserve through the library community system and takes awhile but worth it as we read a lot. Sorry so long...

but my final is homemade starbucks and copy cat starbuck bake goods usually do it.LOL

Lets just say I do not get many new things for myself with this train of thought.

I like this train of thought!
