Today’s
frugal pleasure did involve a little bit of expenditure. One pound eighty pence to be exact. And it’s a pleasure which many frugal
websites would tut tut at but I think it’s worth it.
Today
I met up with a friend for a coffee. No
we didn’t take a flask; we went into the café at a farm shop. We were meeting at a point between our two
homes and for the price of a cup of coffee we had a comfortable warm place with
lovely seasonal decor for an hour’s chat.
This is not the season for a picnic!
I
know I’ve already written about friendship in this series but that was about
friends I won’t be seeing. Today I’m
talking about the pleasure of meeting with a friend and having a really good
laugh. £1.80 may be quite an expensive
coffee in comparison with putting the kettle on at home but as the cost of a
day long smile after an hour of laughter – brilliant!
I'm meeting friends on Tuesday and Wednesday next week for coffee. I'm really looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteDoes you good once in a while. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI did the same on Wednesday.....it is a lift on a gloomy day. Mx
ReplyDeleteCoffee with a good friend is one of life's true pleasures. I know the real true frugalers will do the math and calculate what could be done with $2 a week X 52 weeks if you avoided the weekly coffee house run, but sometimes it is more economical to meet somewhere, and the therapy is priceless!
ReplyDeleteI think it is money well spent. I mean, after all, it was warm and cheerful, you were in good company and that is a lot for a very reasonable price. I might even ask my hubby out for a coffee date this evening!
