I bought two pizzas, which were reduced from £3 to 58p, and a large bottle of cola for 85p. <br /><br />However, the pizzas were also part of a 2 for £4 deal, so it knocked another £2 off the total.<br /><br />This left me with a total to pay of.....1p!!

Being...TIme to learn to splurge a bit on yourself. Being frugal does not mean viewing spending as a necessary or in some cases unnecessary evil. It means being discerning with your decisions to get the most bang out of your buck. ( For example, looking at a 30 dollar skirt that will look good right now when you need it, but is not so expensive that it would be painful to get rid of it when it no longer fits your needs.) <br />It means making decisions about what is worth the money for the value it brings to your life. Sometimes it is a splurge cup of coffee ( For me the 1.62 large coffee from McDonalds is a weekly gift. I go to a class every Wednesday morning and I have delicious coffee that lasts through the entire class with a tiny bit left for the drive home. I suppose I could make my own and take it, but I am worth $1.62 a week.)<br />Your value far exceeds $30 for a skirt, so you should not have felt guilty even if it cost full price. (Assuming the $30 would not adversely affect the weekly budget) For the price you got it though, you should be jumping up and down with joy ( or maybe having your sons jump up and down for you).<br />We are meant to enjoy our life and enjoy the blessings in it. And really enjoy a $.51 skirt!<br />Anne in the kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533249631969001657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519986092114737286.post-72930076814498675802014-09-16T22:49:08.626-07:002014-09-16T22:49:08.626-07:00Wow!
