Do you spend too much on any particular item?

I have trouble holding back on buying cute clothes for my dd. That is my only problem with money.
Anyone else want to confess? |

Normally, no, not really because we typically live within our means. But currently, we are trying to make it (temporarily) on one income and given that, I do spend too much on clothes still - partly for myself. But the biggest standout is our house cleaner. She comes every other week and it's $300/month that we should really be saving right now but she is the best cleaner ever plus is the sweetest women (who treats our son like a king) and I can't bring myself to let her go, if only for a while. But I know I should. |

I spend way too much money on Starbucks. There is no reason I need a $4 drink pretty much every day from there. (Just to be clear, I eat healthy and am at a healthy weight I typically get a skim chai tea and factor in to my "snacks"/discretionary calories so it's not bad for health - just for wallet).
I need to join a library and stop buying books at Borders. I read a book about every 2 weeks so I could save a lot of money. |

Lunch and Starbucks on work days. Ridiculous and avoidable expense. I think i do it mostly so I can get away from my desk, which brown bag lunches don't let me do.
That and porn. Kidding.

| Lunch out and Starbucks during the week. Magazines without a subscription. Books for the kids (instead of the library). Color Books. |

| Dinner out. I've been really lazy about cooking this summer. |

Starbucks, Barnes and Noble and TO (take out).
Starbucks- a few times a week indulgence. But ridiculous at the prices. Barnes and Noble- DC has a lot of health problems, so used as presents many bad days. TO- See above. No desire or time to cook. But $$ really adds up. Wish I had more energy to cook. |

| Like other PPs, Starbucks lattes, $8-10 sandwiches for lunch (why are they so expensive?), and Barnes & Noble (generally only paper-back, though). |

Take out sushi. I love it so much, and refuse make it at home.
Shoes for my daughter. She just started walking, and diapers.com has a cute line called "See Kai Run" that are perfect for her. Wine. We go through four bottles a week and we like the good stuff. No housekeeper, although I would love one. At least I find cleaning to be cathartic, while also being a pain in the ass. |

I love to buy my son and husband clothes. I just love to shop for my son, and look for very unique items. Cooking isn't in my DNA, and I pick up dinner at least 4 nights a week. I DREAD making dinner, I actually get a stomach ache jus thinking about it, so to avoid throwing up, we get dinner on the way home from park.
We live within our means, but I know I spend way too $$$ on clothes. I just can't help myself. |
