Treating Yourself Right For Not Much Money

Friday, 1 April 2016

Mug - all you need is love and tea and biscuits


Treating yourself can be expensive.  Expensive isn't an option if you're trying to save or money is tight as I am right now.  Today I wanted to share a few ways to treat yourself without spending much (any) cash:

  • A hot bath.
  • A good book.  Either an old friend or a new one.
  • Fresh bedding.
  • Watch your favourite TV show or film.  Wrapped in a blanket.
  • Pamper yourself - face mask, manicure and pedicure.
  • Play a board game.
  • A nice cup of tea or coffee.
  • Add a packet of your favourite sweets to your weekly food shop.
  • Chin-wag with a good friend.
  • Fresh flowers.  Carnations last for ages and are often on offer.

What are your favourite ways to treat yourself without spending little or any money?

Sharing with all these great Linkys

    All of the above sound bliss! I work from home so once the kids are in bed my evenings are spent working. People hugely take this time for granted! I'm off work this week and being able to relax in front of the telly with my other half and paint my nails feels amazing!! #pocolo

    The only treat I spend money on, is my hair. I love playing with colour! You are right though, it doesn't cost a lot to put yourself first, sometimes. My favourite thing is to sit on my bed, Netflix on the laptop and a hot coffee, bliss x

    I absolutely adore the idea of watching a TV show, all snug under a blanket. Being on a budget can suck, but I think parenthood also forces you to stay in a lot more- cannot remember the last time I ventured outside my town!

    A treat for me would be a nice bubble bath, followed by a nice meal and dessert then a good book followed by an early night! Sounds boring to some, but would be heaven for me!! Thanks for linking up to the #BinkyLinky

    It does sound a blissful list - for me it's about a proper cup of tea, with leaves not teabags, a cup and saucer and a magazine I've been saving for the right moment. Thanks for linking up to #PoCoLo and enjoy those treats :)

      Oh yes! I went to a rather posh coffee shop and they made the tea in a pot and it was lovely! So much nicer than with bags. Thank you for hosting each week
