What do you do to "treat" yourself?
I want to have a nice, relaxing weekend, and I would love to get some ideas for how to really treat myself to something relatively inexpensive. Say, under 100 bucks.
Champagne and caviar? Steak dinner? Lobster? Chocolate dipped strawberries?
I'm sure the possibilities are endless.

Get a massage. Not a happy ending, a real one.

I start off on Friday night by making a big bowl of fresh, hot, buttered popcorn (none of that microwave shit) and a glass of Pepsi, the same treat my mom used to give us kids on Friday.
Then, lights out at 11:00 Friday night (after Bill Maher) and sleep late on Saturday morning.

An espresso drink, Sachertorte or pavlova, crossword solving with the husband, and then a screening of a torrented or YT-available silent or Pre-Code film, or a $10 "spree" at a secondhand bookstore.

You can have dinner and a show for less than $100 in most places other than New York. There's an arts center in my town that has name acts coming through and sashimi and a performance will be less than that, or I can go to the nearest proper city and have Indian food followed by opera or ballet in your price range.
Although last night it was Taco Bell and standing room at the summer opera season, I definitely got in under budget there.

Do you have an air popcorn popper, R4?
Or do you do it the really old fashioned way, and pop it on the stove top in hot oil?

No, R7. Stove stop/hot oil and real butter melted on the stove as well.

Two bags of Reese's white chocolate peanut butter cups.

A cheeseburger and fries. Money wise - going to a nicer place for drinks (which in NYC means $20 vs $6 per drink)

For the last year or so, either Friday or Saturday night, I grab a nice bottle of red, good small cut of steak, fresh spinach and some sort of decadent pie, turn off the “noise” of the week, mix a pre-dinner Dirty martini (or twoish), turn on a great popcast of either classic standards or interviews and ENJOY. Just under a hundred bucks if I go easy on the wine price and it completely destresses me and sometimes I’ll pop out after and meet friends for a late nightcap, but usually it’s a brief swing on Netflix and sleep, it’s bliss!
