Last night I had a craving for something sweet. No thanks to my frugal lifestyle, I happened to have nothing that could be considered sweet other then a jar of honey and thats not something that ticked my fancy. You know how it is. When you want sweets, you need sweets.

But then my frugal mindset kicked in.

“Wait, you don’t need the sweets. They cost money, you can’t walk because it’s night so you’ll waste money on gas. You’ll waste time going there ….”,  my mind rolled through the reasons why I shouldn’t go. Did it convince me?

Heck no.

I ended  up buying a cookie, yes that’s all. But it was worth it, even though I lost 50 cents on gas and another 99 for the cookie, it was so worth it. The internal struggle was over and I don’t regret a thing. We have to realize that although we may be frugal at heart, it’s okay to splurge every so often. Life should be enjoyable and sometimes that means spending a little more then usual. Don’t hold back if you want something. There is no need to be a frugultralist.
