When you’ve accomplished a goal or mini-goal, you should celebrate and reward yourself. However, if you do this too often, and your rewards cost a lot, you’ll soon go broke. Occasionally it’s OK to splurge, that’s a statement coming from me, someone who promotes frugality, so I thought it would be interesting to post a list of some ideas of cheap or free rewards.
Some cool ideas:
- Borrow a book/DVD/CD from a library.
- Make chocolate chip biscuits (delicious and simple to make!)
- Dip strawberries in chocolate.
- Take a day off and go for a bush or beach walk.
- Ask your other half for a massage.
- Or erotic fun.
- Have a bubble bath by candle light.
- Make a smoothie.
- Download a couple songs that you love.
- Spend time with a loved one. Is there someone you haven’t talked to in a while?
- Wear a “hot” outfit on an ordinary day. Do your hair, put on make-up and wear earrings.
- Have an “at home” date night.
- Give yourself some quiet time to relax.
- Take a nap.
- Watch your favourite TV show.
- Do something you love.
- Window shopping (if that’s what you’re into, but leave your money and credit card at home).
- Go to an art gallery.
- Go to a museum.
- Have a cup of special tea.
- Imagine you are planning a trip by using travel sites on the internet.
- Sleep In. For those of us who have the luxury of a weekend off, why not take one day and sleep in for a little bit.
- Be the guest. Have you been saving those nice towels and sheets for when you have guests and they are just languishing in the cupboard? Take some time out to make your bed once in a while with those nice sheets and use that fancy soap for yourself. You will feel better just from using something that you do not normally use on a regular basis.
- Pick some flowers as they give you a great emotional boost from just looking at them.
- Sing, especially with a group of others. Enjoy
