This is me, except I will spend money on expensive handbags/wallets for me. My one guilty pleasure.

Spendy: on everyone else in the house, education for children

Cheap: not good at spending money on anything for myself

I'm a brand snob about things like toothpaste and dishwashing liquid, toilet paper.

I'm kind of cheap about clothing and bags and stuff. My purses always come from Marshalls. My clothes come from the clearance racks at Nordstrom Rack or Macy's.

We spend on quality Healthcare, (e.g out of network providers)
Professional development, a nice home, daughter's dance, housecleaning, visits to family in other states, entertaining (pre covid) college saving

We are frugal about buying cars, used books, sometimes used children's clothes, used furniture, eating out, simple hobbies and simple, classic, boring clothes and jewlery, skincare, beauty products, haircuts

Spend: experiences like travel, going out to eat, theater, symphony, entertainment

Cheap: materialistic things like cars, electronics, clothes

I like going out to eat a lot (pre-covid) but not to expensive places. That was my huge splurge. Everything else I bargain shop for. My only big splurge has been my car.

I spend money on my son's education. I'm cheap about nearly everything else. That's what allows me to pay for his education.

Spend: fancy groceries, restaurants, massage

Scrimp: cars and clothes

Spend big on investments including properties (primary and rentals). Also big on kid's education (top school district, international camps, travels, extra curriculum activities, etc.)

Spend moderate on vacations - travel for leisure at least every quarter but not luxurious hotels/business class - we are hardcore outdoor people so spend on gears and trainings etc.

Super cheap on cloths, furniture, decor, car, groceries and everything else.

Spend: travel (not fancy but lots of it), education, horses/horse shows.

Medium: restaurants.

Cheap: everything else.

Spend money on high end cars and replace them every 3 years (one a year).
Cheap on gas. I’ll drive well out of my way to save a dime.

Spend: landscaping; home renovations; home decor (although my last furniture purchase was from Target); cars; outsourcing home maintenance; skin treatments; food & wine; entertaining

Cheap: clothes; jewelry, accessories

In between: travel - we spend a lot but always look for deals, use miles, fly economy, and generally prefer boutique hotels to resorts

Spend money on: travel, good food (groceries and food out), my children's education, a good mattress (for adults and children), childcare (nanny and sitter), and decor/landscaping for our home

Cheap on: Clothes (for me, I'm ridiculous when it comes to clothes for the kids :roll, cars, alcohol, beauty treatments (other than a haircut I love doing them all myself)

spend on quality meats and quality cat food.

cheap on last season clothes, shoes, everything. no longer buy jewelry.

Spend money on: Private school, house cleaners.

Moderate spending: travel, groceries, cars, and shoes.

Cheap on everything else: home decor, clothes, haircuts, restaurants, books from Library or eBay, etc.
