[quote=Anonymous]Things that feel like splurges to me, but really just make sense. I value my time at $50/hr and I base my calculations on how much time it takes me, not the pros who are way faster. I am thankful I have the resources to buy nice things that last than cheap things that I have to replace sooner.

Lawn mowing and landscaping service
Bi-weekly cleaning service
Salon hair color
Harris Teeter online grocery ordering - $99/yr and it saves me an hour a week
We always fly direct unless there is no direct flight available 
We fly out of DCA instead of Dulles because it’s easier to navigate a smaller airport with kids
We pay to park instead of driving around looking for street spots when we go downtown
I don’t make cutesy things for my kids’ teachers or BD parties - I buy them on Etsy. Don’t worry. I don’t pretend I made them myself. 
I paid someone to hand address all of my wedding invites and thank you notes in calligraphy 
We get professional family photos done a few times a year
I use services like LeTote and Rent the Runway to have fabulous new clothes without filling up thrift shops and landfills with barely worn trendy pieces
I buy nice cakes for my kids’ BD parties because I know my kids and most grownups would rather have a cake from Heidelberg or Pastries by Randolph than Safeway
I buy $25-50 bottles of wine for a weeknight dinner with my husband at home because I’d rather have no wine than cheap wine
