with regards to what Sarah (from toddlers world) asked about quality cleanser… I would have to recommend Pevonia… Its expensive enough to make you balk at it, but you use such a small amount it works out to be quite cheap in the long run. its also cruelty free and preservative free and very very effective.
you can probably order it online if you had a look.

For me the point of being frugal is to avoid waste, and to save in the areas that are not important to you, so you can spend more on the areas that are. If you can't occasionally splurge on something you or your family will enjoy, what's the point in living?! Betsy Bargain’s last blog post..Get Paid to Play

Finding it hard to give up my daily Starbucks. I'm always in a rush in the morning and it really wakes me up and starts my day just right. Also, I won't give up high quality vitamins - I think it's important. TStrump’s last blog post..Jargon and Platitudes

Best Foods, yes!! It was the only mayo my mother would buy and now it's the only mayo I'll buy. Make-up: I can deal with the drugstore version of Lancome (which happens to be L'Oreal), but I ain't doin' without! Mighty fine post! :-) Funny about Money’s last blog post..The Grocery Pool: So far, so good

This post really made me think. I don't do as good a job of living frugally as I'd like to, but green living is really important to me. It made me consider the things I do in my life that aren't very green and why I continue to do them. Thanks for the inspiration. I feel a "confession" post coming.

Yes, great post! It’s so important not to give up everything. You can compare it to dieting. If you don’t ever splurge and have a treat, you eventually hit your breaking point and binge on every piece of food in sight. I think the same stands true for being frugal.

At least every two months, I need my own treat, whether it’s a manicure, pedicure or massage. But of course, it’s usually with a coupon when the local spa is running a special. Old habits die hard!

I had to laugh. I always use Hellmanns but I finally broke down and bought the cheap stuff. I have to say it was really good. Who knew? SonyaAnn’s last blog post..Saving some $ for our FL trip

Trips to the hair salon went a LONG time ago. I have to say that I am not giving up my yogurt. I but some greek stuff that is 2x the cost of the others but I refuse to eat anything else. It's my one little pleasure in life and if I have to give every single thing up I think I'd go insane. Oh and high speed internet. I don't have a home phone but I sure as heck won't give up my internet connection. Sandy’s last blog post..Squeezing Money from The Dead
