What do you splurge on?

Coca-Cola and Better Cheddars (not daily). And eating out for lunch. Before a mortgage it was movies, drinks, cars, PCs, gambling. Now its mainly tools, car stuff, home projects, and home theater.

Splurge on self papering - manicures, pedicures, wine and a 1-2x/month meal out.

This year I am upping the number of mani/pedi I get BUT I joined a new online survey company that pays REAL cash. That is where it is going. The meal(s) out is in my budget as is wine.

Fine bedding linens from Restoration Hardware! My excuse is you spend 1/3 of your life in bed.... In my defense I brought them using employee discount through a friend who worked there, but it was still over $200 total for duvet cover and pillow cases. It still hasn't stopped me and I'm eyeing the fitted and top sheets.

Travel, travel, and more travel. It's expensive, but the experiences make it all worth it!

Manicures and eating out. I used to spend aLOT on food ($600-700 for groceries and dining out for my daughter and I). I'm down to about $350 a month.

I splurge on perfume. It's my signature scent. Costs $65.00 a bottle but lasts almost a year.

I forgot to add snowboarding/lift ticket for winter.

Travel! It's why we adhere to our budget so tightly otherwise.

Skiing (I live in Colorado, perhaps this should just be a general expense )
Cat food, toys, treats, anything those brats want they get
Good beer (Guinness, ODell, New Belgium, Left Hand) - life is too short to drink junk beer
We go out for dinner once a month for our monthly anniversary
Running shoes
Running clothes to enable me to run outdoors year round
Cable television... can't live with out NatGeo or Food Network for some reason.

Other than that I'm a tight wad.

Ditto on the good beer.

We go out to eat about 1x/month but I'm not sure I'd call it a splurge. We usually spend under $40 for 3 people. Honestly can't think of anything else we splurge on regularly...
