scrapbooking supplies...yep I'm one of those crazy scrapbookers |
401K. Last year, our retirement investments lost 1/3 in value. After which, everything else seems trivial. |
Eating out is definitely our waste of money problem. Thanks to whoever started this thread, because it motivated me to get back on track about what's important
|
Really??? I love this response. I love Hermes scarves too. And hey, they're easier on the wallet than the handbags. |
Handbags -- have bought three that cost more than $800. Magazines. |
Target. In lieu of buying suits and justifiable work clothes (now that I am a sahm) I find I buy a lot of crappy clothes/workout gear at Target, rationalizing that it's cheap...but in reality I SHOULD have purchased one or two pieces of quality and ended it. |
For the people who spend too much for the kids clothes: is it because you want others to thin you're a good mom? Not trying to be snarky, just truly wondering. |
What? I don't spend $$ on my kid's clothes (grandparents do that quite nicely) but that didn't even occur to me. I just figured they saw a cute outfit and couldn't resist it. Does everything you do for your kids for other people's benefit? Seems like an odd thought to me! |
No, my ds wears target, my dd wears nice stuff. I don't care who sees it. I never had cutsie clothes growing up, and it really annoyed me. Funny enough, my dd does not care, but she lets me dress her up. I do make sure that EVERYTHING I buy for her is on sale, at least 50% off, but it is still pricey. I am amazed at some mothers who do not care about the clothes issue with their daughters. Sometimes, I wish I could be more like them. |
I won't say I spend too much, but I do enjoy it. And that's the only reason. It's fun. It would never cross my mind what others think, although I do generally hope he's matching most of the time (now dressing himself). |
Depends on what kind of fish. I love salmon best, which are low in mercury. DH loves tuna so he'll be the one with the heavy metal poisoning. I have ADD, so I justify the sushi expense because the omega-3s are great for my brain and recommended for ADDers. One must always look for a silver lining! ![]() |
food. We don't eat out much but I love to cook and refuse to buy crap. |
Wine, clothes, trips, and the random didn't need that from Amazon/Target. |
Music. |
I just spent $30 on my eyebrows. Ridiculous, but I feel a lot more presentable now. |
