Its hard to find things that fit and I am not really into trends, so I wear favorite things for years.
------------------------------------------------------
Me too. I don't like shopping, so hunt for clothes made well of natural fabrics, then keep them for years, if waist and hips allowed that. It's best to pay more for the stuff that will last, instead of constantly trying to keep up with "fashion" provided by designers who seem to hate the adult female body.
Oh, and of course books, new, used, borrowed and read over and over.
Plants, I have far too many but it's fun to see them grow.

I splurge on airfare and whatever my soldier wants. A lot video game purchases. Every once in a while I splurge on fashion and accessories. I also spend thousands on medical and dental goodness. Looking forward to landscaping the lot front and back and an entire home remodel. Squee!

i like to have a cuppacino which my friend at work and I have once a week as our special treat.
I love making our house a home and I will splurge on that one special item.

I was going to say books and food, because I buy far too many books, far too much junk food and eat out too much, too - but those are bad habits, not splurges.
I am not a coffee drinker, but there is a Jamba Juice on my way to my current job, and I have started buying fresh-squeezed orange juice there about once a week. That's a splurge, because it's $2.75 for the 12 oz. size or $3.55 for the 16 oz. size, and that's more orange juice than I should be drinking anyway. But I tell myself that most people pay more than that for a Starbucks coffee, and they do it every day.
I guess my other splurge is sea bass (Chilean or otherwise), because it costs so much in restaurants, but oh, it is so good!
