This will sound silly, but my husband and I collect Pez candy dispensers. Always looking for older ones, which are more costly, but once in awhile its okay to splurge on them. It really has been a fun hobby for us middleaged folks.

books!

GOOD dinners out. Not often as it can be pricy but we pretty much skip the fast food and chain restaurants and eat at home. We make better food than most of them anyway.
Then when we do go out it is for food that I can't or won't cook at home. |
Books---at the library sale or thrift store, sometimes on Ebay or Amazon if good quilting books.
Also sometimes a chunk of really good cheese---the sharper the better. |
FABRIC of course. Other things are real coffee and real butter.
The food "of course" is pizza. |
Fresh fruit and good meat. I rarely eat sweets or snack foods but I truly love a piece of fruit that tastes like it is supposed to taste. I bought blueberries yesterday and they were terrific as a late afternoon snack. Popped in my mouth. Yum! And what do you mean BESIDES FABRIC? Is there anything better than fabric? I am seriously on the broke side but I budget $20 a month for fabric. It takes me a LONG time to decide which little piece to buy and if I buy a yard, oh heck, now I have spent over half of it! I sew to keep busy. It is my lifeline for entertainment so fabric is my top guilty pleasure.

Good chocolate! And there are a few magazines that I have to have, luckily they come out every other month!

chocolate of course!!! lol

Coffee - has to be a good brand, not in the big plastic canisters. I just got some the other day and a brick of 8 O'Clock was the same price per ounce as Maxwell House. I always look for Arabica coffee beans, they are the better kind.
I also buy real cheese instead of Kraft slices or anything like that. Went in WM yesterday, Cabot Extra Sharp was 2 cents less than the WM brand! I guess my splurge is real food instead of processed. |
