Day 9-10: Splurge Only Dining/Items

Again, sorry for the lapse. I'm still getting over the flu. I did tell everyone it has been a rough week, right?

We've decided to designate some restaurants and even some favorite items at the grocery store as "Splurge Only". These are places we will go or things we will buy only on a very rare occasion or when we have a coupon to make it worth buying.

I found a coupon for Quizno's- buy one sub and get the second free. I love Quizno's but we usually only get it about once a month when such a coupon comes out. My friend Sarah does the same thing with Texas de Brazil. Her and her fiance go about 1-2 times a year when they get a birthday coupon for buy one get one free. You can be a good saver and still splurge on occasion. The trick is to make your splurges a little less guilty.

The same thing goes at the supermarket. Buy generic brand unless you have a coupon for the name brand that you may like a little better. You still may spend a tad more than you would have on the generic brand but you'll feel a lot less guilty about it!
