A Little Extravagance That Makes You Happy

[Lee]

Nothing big, just a small something that does not cost a lot but puts a smile on your face.

I buy a bouquet of flowers at the supermarket for myself. Under 10 bucks, and it perks me up.

 

[hollydolly]

A latte from Costa coffee / Cafe Nero or the pub .. whenever I go shopping... ( costs less than £3.00)

 

[katlupe]

A chocolate bar added to my groceries to save for later.

 

[CinnamonSugar]

a box of Barry's Irish Tea!

 

[jujube]

A carton of Publix black jack cherry ice cream.

You stole mine, Lee!

A bouquet of flowers never fails to do it for me.

 

[Aunt Bea]

All sorts of things!

Fresh flowers or a plant from the grocery store
A dark chocolate bar
A slice of pizza from the deli
Ice cream

Picking out a treat is the toughest part of shopping.

 

[Pecos]

We get fresh flowers every week.
Good ice cream and good coffee.
Lawn service.

 

[Pinky]

Starbuck's chai latte.

A local company makes individual pies one is a sour lemon creme .... i really enjoy this every so often for a treat ....my husband seems to sense it and brings home ....

 

[Pinky]

$6 lemon tart from Jewish bakery .. to die for. Pricey, but so worth it!

 

[gennie]

An occasional bag of Jelly Bellys. There are other jelly beans but none like J.B.s. A few will satisfy a sweet craving without harming my blood sugar reading.

After cooking all week for myself, and may be others, I like to treat myself to a take out dinner.

There's a little Mexican place around the corner I've been hitting lately. $10-12.

Are you a spicy food lover, Dob?

A few years back dear husband used to (every now and then), stop by an East Indian place and grab supper to go, and he always ordered it on the hot and spicy side. So good!

 

[dobielvr]

No, not too spicy. I may use the hot sauce they give me on my taco, but that's abt it.

I'm jealous... you're lucky that your restaurants are still open, we've not even got a coffee house open during lockdown...

Oh yes, got to have hot sauce on tacos!

I don't know if our taco place still sells their made-from-scratch hot sauce, but they used to, and boy, was it ever good!

Not all are open. Sadly, some have closed.
But, a lot are open for take out.

Where I'm located, I have access to many different flavors of food.
