Grandbabies! Jim's granddaughters are 5 and 2, and at Christmas, I went a little insane buying them clothes. Elise can wear a different outfit to school for a month without a repeat. LOL. It cost over $100. to send the box to Michigan. Little girl clothes. Heaven!! I sold a very pricy handmade coat in order to buy their clothes, but I would do it again, and probably will.

Fabric and anything quilt related! If I want it, I buy it.

My splurge is Coffeemate Hazelnut Creamer. I try to buy it on sale, but it's one of the few things I will buy even when it's not on sale. And I will only buy that brand, not the brand on sale. I enjoy every cup of coffee I drink with it.

So what's your splurge?



:thumbup: I agree.coupons are good

Have to have Maxwell House coffee, and Jiff peanut butter, just about everything else can be generic.

My splurge is to take the plane for my winter trip instead of driving. I love it taking 1 hour instead of 10 to get from KC to Indianapolis. I like driving, so do drive except in winter. Not sure if this is a splurge or just using good judgement???
