Rewards Other Than Food

[butterflydreaming]

Food -- fancy coffee from a place I love, ice cream, bacon, guilty-pleasure restaurant food -- is an easy way for me to reward myself, to give myself a little present for getting through the rough spots. There have been a lot of rough spots lately, and consequently, that reward is getting overdone. The whole point of treats is that they are rare.

What else makes a good reward? It can't be a big expense, or even feel like much of an expense, since being broke is a little too present on my mind.
