Totally un-frugal

**slowtypinwoman** · 01-07-2006, 04:10 PM

What is your most un-frugal indugence? I'm not talking Bounty paper towels here gals. Something you do just for you. Just because you're worth it.

I would have to say for me it is my shampoo. I found a natural soap maker at a show I went to a while back and have fallen in love with their bar shampoo. It is $5.95 a bar and last about a month. I love the way it makes my hair squeeky clean with out drying it. That and shoes are my one, or I guess you could say two, indulgences.

Come on fess-up. What's yours?

I'm glad you brought this up. Because it's always occurred to me that there are reasons why we are frugal and some of the good reasons after taking care of debts and reasonable safety cushions in savings is

using money wisely, and not being a slave to saving and frugality just for the sake of being frugal.

There are times to enjoy it, and revel in what we can buy (often BECAUSE we are frugal in the first place.)

or what I like to think of as conscious buying habits.

I forgot to add:

DSL & cable (costs $105/month)
Ozarka water delivery ($30-$40/month) depending on how much we drink. We absolutely HATE our tap water!

I have a few. I love Estee Lauder perfume. My favorite is Pleasures and it's around 60.00 for the perfume and lotion. I love clothes, probably too much. I never buy on a cc, I always budget for them, and I never buy anything at full price. But, I do love clothes. lol And, I always let a professional cut, and color my hair.

My one indulgence is once a year or even every other year, I get a bottle of White Diamonds... Most of the time it is a gift, but sometimes, I buy it...
