Frugal luxuries that you treat yourself to

[William Souden]

Two things for my self. The cost of the first is almost
infinitesimal. I use a fresh towel each day when I shower . If I go out
in the evening I use two towels that day.

When I am having a bad week I go to the local butcher and treat myself
to a nice T-bone, always well under $10.

I do that with pillow cases.

Do they get you as dry as a towel?

I thought they were wearing them.

Isn't "frugal luxury" an oxymoron?

But if you want to know about non-frugal treats that I partake in
(after being frugally hypervigilant) in, here's my "go-to's":

Turtles...not the aquatic kind but the chocolate/caramel/pecan
convection featured on "Everybody Hates Chris". Usually able to snag
these for a good price after a holiday (Christmas and Valentines day
mostly).

AYCE Chinese buffet for Sunday lunch while out and about.

I have been known to buy the latest gadget just because it's too cool
to pass up....but it's infrequent. Example: Go-Video VCR/DVR combo
when it first came out. Loved the fact it took up the space of a
VCR. Didn't love the fact that I never had a DVR before so though the
skipping I had with it was due to "rental disks". Got it fixed one
month before warranty was up. The other non-frugal but worth it buy
was the Dyson when it first came out here.

No, Some people confuse frugal with cheapness but it isn't that at all.
