How to Indulge Yourself for Under Five Dollars

Remember the old commercial "You deserve a break today". This was the ad Mc Donald's ran a few years ago. It got me to thinking I bet there was still a lot of things you could do to treat yourself and still be under five dollars. In this article I list some things you can do that are less than five bucks.

Ice cream sundae

Everybody loves ice cream. I can't think of too many people who don't like a scoop of ice cream on occasion. There is nothing better than a hot fudge sundae. You can still get one for less than $5 and it tastes so good. Whether your on a diet, a vegetarian, or a diabetic you can still enjoy a sundae even if you have to make it yourself. You can buy sugar free ice cream with the fudge already in it for under $5 if your a diabetic. There is nothing wrong with treating yourself once in awhile. This could be the day you go out and have that ice cream sundae you been hungry for.

Pizza by the slice

With all the fast food places you could go and get a burger but why not get some pizza instead. Many pizza establishments sell pizza by the slice. Many have specials that include a slice of pizza or two and drink. Some places will give you a salad, slice of pizza, and drink for under $5. That is a nice way of treating yourself to lunch and not breaking your wallet. Instead of packing the old brown bag lunch today why not enjoy a slice of pizza and nice cold drink for lunch.

Coffee and breakfast sandwich

Dunkin Donuts, Mc Donald's, etc all have the morning breakfast special. You can get coffee and a bagel or donut instead of a breakfast sandwich. Whichever is your choosing. Once again you can get any of these combinations for under $5. Instead of that cold cereal and instant coffee in the morning why not treat yourself to breakfast.

Dollar stores

Not everything under $5 has to do with food. Every city has what we call dollar stores they come under many different names. Most items are a dollar. Some stores everything in it costs a dollar. So, with that in mind you can get up to 5 items for under $5. Many times you can find useful items or items that you would never buy normally but just make you feel good. You don't have to spend a fortune to pamper yourself a little.

Text messages, music, and technology stuff

There are many things you can do that cost less than $5 per month which can be added on to your services your currently using. One such suggestion is for $5 per month you can add extra bandwidth to your cable Internet. Many cell phone provides have text message packages for $5. You can even get unlimited radio with no ads for less than $5 per month online. These are just a few of the things you can get for $5.

I only scratched the surface if you think about it there are tons of things you can do that cost less than $5. Just enjoy and pamper yourself once in awhile.
