Getting that "I spent money" buzz.

Dealing with going without The Buzz was the hardest part of becoming more frugal.

For a while I dealt with it by hunting down deals for cheap petrol, and I'd just top off the car whenever I needed the buzz. I knew I'd use the petrol, and that I got a good deal, so I knew I was avoiding the mistake people make when they, say, go on an op shopping spree where they're ultimately spending money they didn't actually need to spend.

Unfortunately petrol has skyrocketed where I live, and I have too full a tank to justify doing this like I usually do. Have to wait until prices drop or the tank does, whichever happens sooner.

Stress levels are sky high right now and this used to be an easy way to lower them a bit. How do you handle having to go without the buzz?
