I'm such a strange mix... I think it's bad when my husband spends money on a magazine or a bag of candy at the gas station, but I have 3 or 4 different quilting magazine subscriptions. I'll go through sale ads for the grocery stores, use coupons, drive an hour to go to Save-a-Lot to save $20, then spend $40 going out to eat that night! I'll use scraps to piece a quilt, buy my batting with a coupon at JoAnns, then spend $50 on gorgeous extra wide fabric for the backs of my scrappy quilts. I'll only buy ice cream at the grocery store when it's on sale, but think nothing of stopping to get an ice cream cone at 5 times the cost. I'll scrimp and save for months so I can splurge going on vacation. Go figure!
