    Yum. I'm glad I just ate or be trying to scarf down the monitor. Looks terrific!

    Do you give out coupons for free samples?

    That cinnamon roll looks delish! Is it whole wheat? Please say yes so I can convince myself it's okay to eat two! LOL

    Is your question asking what do other FV'ers do to reward themselves for frugality and creativity? I'd have to say that in my own case, I like to see the positive changes in my home from doing things myself (painting, etc) and the balance of my student loan drop lower and lower.

    I was so obsessed by the photo I ignored the question.

    I try to be as frugal as I can in some areas so that I can splurge a little in others without guilt. What that would be depends on time and mood. Usually something that entertains me.

    I'm sorry to say.........yup, whole wheat! And I misled you, I really had three of them. When I reward myself, I try to go all out, because I deserve it! Thanks to this site, I'm not doing it by buying something I don't NEED.
