Jana - I also can't replicate store-bought hummus; I can't bring myself to put enough olive oil in it ;)

Niki - At least if it's being composted it's not completely going to waste. I wish I had your garden problem.

mbhunter - I'm too lazy to use loose leaf regularly, but it does taste a lot better.

Buck Inspire - Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are a favorite around here.

Awesome list and advice! My indulgence, every once in awhile is a good chocolate chip cookie. Just picks me up and not too heavy on the wallet!

This is a great list.

I do like my loose leaf tea. It's more expensive per cup than bagged tea, but so much better.

Letting something go to waste could be a good idea, it's in the same category of being lazy. I do get stressed about throwing food away. We had a surplus of Romaine from the garden and you can only at so many salads before your whole family stages a coup. Might be worth it to let it go in the compost pile.

I'm starting to drink V8 Fusion. I never eat vegetables, but those crazy V8 people snuck veggies into my juice. It's a little expensive, but I think it's worth it for me to actually get some of that good stuff in my body.

My luxury is expensive shampoo and conditioner. I will let myself save up to buy it and then I make sure that it lasts. I love the way my hair smells and feels when I use it, so I let myself indulge.

Also, Sabra hummus. I let myself buy that when it's on sale for a good price. I've tried to make it; disaster is a nice word for the end result. I'd rather just wait for the sale price and buy some.

101 Centavos - Ice cream is definitely a weakness of mine too. Haven't tried cigars for post ideas yet, but if I get desperate I'll let you know ;)

Bucksome - That's less than $250 a year, not so un-frugal if it's your big indulgence of the week!

Wow, paying for an MBA in cash. That's impressive! I got lucky and had an employer pay for mine. Good tips!

My not so frugal indulgence is getting a Starbucks latte once a week. By limiting it to once a week, I'm saving money and then I use the rewards card to get my shot of flavoring for free.

Ah, ice cream, of course. Totally decadent and a disaster on the waistline. And good cigars.

Relaxing with a fine cigar and letting the mind roam stimulates good blog topics. I've taken to sometimes sitting out on the back porch in the evening with the blog journal close at hand, jotting down notes when inspiration strikes.
