I splurge on foods. It's lots less expensive than eating out and both DH and I love to cook together. So it's a pretty cheap date all told. But I'll buy yellow fin tuna at $22 a pound, figuring that the $22 is still lots less than going to a 4star restaurant. Our food usually is as good as theirs too (in our humble opinions and those of our friends~!). Basically, I've been quilting from my stash for the past two years, so that's no money spent. I carry my lunch and breakfast to work. We bought a cappuccino machine 10 years ago for $200 so don't need Starbucks anymore. I even make my own cinnamon syrup for the coffee. I figure we deserve to eat quality as we want!

Our neighbors work for Coca-Cola so they're constantly passing out Cokes at parties or get togethers. They wink at us because DH insists that you can't eat a pizza without Pepsi but they let us slide on that one. ;)

dh & i have splurged on d r dimes reproduction furniture for our old house... splurged a lot, so much in fact, that when i asked them for a tour of the factory (which they normally don't do) for dh's birthday gift, we were invited to go...

if you ever saw the movie "the Patriot" with mel gibson.. in the very beginning he was making a chair... those were made by d r dimes..

my only other regular splurge is i get my nails done once a month...

My splurge is scented candles. I absolutely love them. Sometimes I make my own and sometimes I buy them. I love having my house smell nice.

The splurge that makes my spine tingle is buying fabric or a quilt magazines!!! I get a real rush when I find fabrics on sale and scoop them up. Good thread!! :)

Dunkin Donuts ground coffee{don't have one around here} then it would be Longaburger baskets and Berkenstock shoes. I have really high arches and heel spurs, so these shoes mean the diff. between walking and not.

I keep a lot of frozen pre cooked foods in the freezer. I splurge on the good ones at Whole Foods. I don't like to cook as much as I use to and these foods are very good and healthy. I also use all paper disposable plates, utensils, cups, etc. I don't like cleaning up after a meal when I cook so I don't.
