Cheeky Treats: How To Save Money On Your Luxuries

It’s good to treat yourself sometimes. You work hard, take care of your family, and cut back on luxuries wherever necessary so everyone can go on holiday. You do deserve an occasional treat, and you don’t need to feel guilty for indulging in something you enjoy. To make your treat extra guilt-free, here are a few money-saving tips to help you get your usual luxuries at a fraction of the usual cost. 

DIY Spa

While it’s nice to go for a spa retreat, there is no reason why you can’t create the same experience in the comfort of your own home. You’ll have to get creative, there are plenty of home remedies online for face masks, or hair products, which only require things you’d put on your grocery list. The best part is, you can make as much as you need and store the leftovers for regular treatments. When the holidays come around, these also make wonderful gifts. 

Starbucks at home


Whether you have a preferred coffee establishment or not, you can’t deny that you’ve sometimes popped in for a creamy cappuccino or a smooth latte. Money saving experts recommend making your morning coffee at home to save a few dollars each week, but it doesn’t quite taste the same. However, if you buy a Coffee maker with a grinder you’ll soon be able to enjoy the same fresh brew that you get in your favorite coffee place. Your dream coffee machine may seem like a big investment at first, but you will get your money’s worth once you stop popping into your local Starbucks. 

Don’t buy brand new devices

It seems that every year an electronics giant announces that they’ll be releasing a new model later that year, even though it seems like they’ve just released their old one. Fortunately for you, this means that the prices drop on the previous model, making it more affordable than it was when it first came out. More importantly, they still perform most of the same functions as the new release, so you’re not missing out on much if you don’t buy the latest gadget. 

Also, if you negotiate a good deal with your provider, you might be able to save a few dollars on your family plan. Don’t be afraid to haggle; phone companies don’t want to lose your business. 

Discount designs

Everyone needs to buy new clothes at some point, whether for practical purposes or because they’d like something new for the changing season. The easiest solution is to shop in thrift stores, where you can find some really nice clothes for a bargain, especially if you shop in high end neighborhoods. However, if you’re handy with a needle, you could upcycle your clothes into something new or simply repair a few holes. If you have friends who are also looking to buy new clothes get everyone together for a clothes swap. You’ll all have a whole new look, without having spent a penny.
