National Splurge Day

If the waste is within reason, and you control your desires and impulses, National Splurge Day is a great excuse to go shopping and spend some money on yourself. National Splurge Day is a fun holiday that will give you a brief break from endless everyday life and hard work. Thrift is something which it is impossible to live with all the time. You must be able to relax and please yourself.

History

The history of trade relations and shopping has the same deep roots as humanity. It all started with bartering, but with the advent of money, shops appeared, and with the development of the automotive industry, shopping centers began to open. Trade has taken pride of place in the holiday calendar, as one of the most ancient relationships between people.

It is believed that National Splurge Day was invented and established by Chicago resident Adrienne Sue Coopersmith.
