Do you sometimes get the feeling that you have wine tastes on a beer budget? Even if you don’t categorize your financial situation as beer, the grand majority of working adults enjoy the finer things in life but don’t always have the resources to make every dream a reality. Fortunately, there are lots of fine things that don’t cost an arm and a leg, and won’t cause you to have morning after regrets for having indulged in a guilty pleasure. In fact, some of the very best tasting, most relaxing, labor saving, and convenient services and products on the market are available at reasonable prices. The trick is finding the best bargains that suit your personal tastes and then making the magic happen. Here are several ways to add a touch of fun and pizzazz to your everyday life without having to worry about the bill.
Spa Days
The spa industry has reinvented itself as a modern version of relaxation therapy. Whether your tastes include hot whirlpool baths, massages, facials, float tubs, or typical salon services, you can usually get a full spa day for a fraction of what a weekend vacation would cost. Plus, most spa enthusiasts come away from a day feeling fully rejuvenated and deeply relaxed.

No Tech Retreats
No tech retreats, also called low tech retreats, are popping up in urban areas all over the world. The point is to offer city dwellers a weekend getaway in the distant suburbs or remote wilderness where they can enjoy two full days of no phones, computers, or devices of any kind. Participants, especially younger adults, are usually quite surprised at the incredible level of relaxation that comes from disconnecting for 48 hours or so. Check with local travel agencies and tour guides to find what’s available in your town. Costs are minimal and typically cover meals and lodging for two days. Some no tech adventures are located in wilderness areas that include cabins, cookouts, and nature hikes. You can easily fit one of the many selections into your budget, and then get ready to disconnect.
House Cleaning Services
Don’t think you can afford house cleaning services? Think again. The industry has undergone a total realignment in the past decade, now offering daily, weekly, monthly, and other periodical service. By far, the most popular choice is weekly, light house cleaning. Check local agencies and be sure to compare prices and read reviews before hiring one. Or, consider buying an annual deep cleaning, which is one of the best values these companies offer.
