From the comments and emails I get, I sometimes think people get the impression I’m such a tightwad, I don’t ever splurge on anything. Quite the contrary! My husband and I save money in many areas so that we can splurge in a few areas. In fact, we actually budget for splurges. We’ve found it’s so much more enjoyable to splurge on something when you have planned to do so and have the money allotted in your budget. {And yes, I know that for some people, the concept of “splurging” means you throw all caution to the wind and budgets out the window. Well, we just can’t enjoy spending money unless we know we can afford something. Call us weird, but we’ve found the boundaries of a budget actually give us a lot more freedom!} So, in addition to being a Pampers “snob” and loving Pepperidge Farm cookies (my husband buys them for me for almost every birthday and Mother’s Day since I can’t bear to pay the price tag on them as a matter of course!), I have another regular non-frugal splurge. You might want to make sure you’re sitting down when you read this, because it’s going to seem very anti-Money Saving Mom®. In fact, I wondered if my readers would lose all faith in me if they found this vice out...
