15 Purchases That Frugal People Buy To Make Themselves Feel Luxurious

Published:

Who said you couldn’t be frugal and still be fabulous? Even if you are always frugal, that doesn’t mean you can’t feel luxurious, and the good thing is that these luxuries are super frugal.

Here are fifteen finer things you can buy that are well within many people’s budgets. Most of them are well below fifty bucks but can last you forever!

A New Shower Head

Shower heads usually come pretty cheap. But the different settings and pressures will make you feel like you’re living the high life for around twenty bucks.

Farmer’s Market Fruits and Veggies

Heading to your local market for produce is an excellent way to save money while getting a better product.

You can get cheap candles pretty much anywhere. But a home decorated in candles reads anything but cheap.

Spices

Quality spices will significantly up your cooking game and make you feel like every meal is special. And if you store them properly, they’ll keep for a decently long time.

Freshly Ground Coffee

We’re big proponents of making coffee at home, but investing in a grinder and grinding your own beans is still cheaper than throwing down cash at your local coffee joint every morning, and it produces a better cup of coffee than the bagged stuff.

Grocery Store Flowers

Flowers are the definition of a luxury expense, but buying them for just a few dollars at the grocery store makes it much more viable for the frugal floral enjoyers out there.

A Silk Pillowcase

Silk pillowcases are more expensive, but it’s a one-time purchase that will seriously up your sleeping game. Plus, silk is better for your skin!

Good Pens

Who doesn’t love a high-quality pen? You don’t need to spend too much more to find one that glides across the paper like butter.

A Nice Reusable Water Bottle

Since you’re already saving so much by not buying bottled water, why not treat yourself to a quality reusable one? Nicer brands will likely last longer and keep your water colder, too.

Oversized, Fluffy Bath Towels

Think about those hotel-size bath towels you can lounge in when you get out of the shower: the bigger, the better!

Wooden Hangers

Wooden hangers are surprisingly affordable, and they’ll last you forever. They’ll also help keep your clothes in better shape, too, so you’re less likely to cycle through them prematurely.

A Sleep Mask

An inexpensive sleep mask could be just what you need to get the best sleep of your life. We dream of a day where sleep doesn’t feel like such a luxury, but until then, it’s essential to do what you can to get your seven to eight hours.

Serving Bowls
