    My Unfrugal Splurge.

    Being sincere here. On my way home today, I dropped into a local dollar store and bought 3 cans of cream soda, some chocolate, chips, pencil lead, cookies etc., all for $10.05. Also, lost a 25 cents coin in the store. I ate one dollar worth of stuff already. Nowadays I am doing this splurge every month or sometimes even every two weeks. Certainly not frugal. On the other hand, I don't feel guilty about this.

    What is your latest unfrugal splurge ? Please share here.

    I bought a fancy, expensive vibrator, when I could have used my hands. How unfrugal!

    Thanks for sharing. My most unfrugal splurges were when I used to work in a job with fairly long hours a few years back. I ate out most of the time, the quality of the food was also not that great. I also had no idea about frugality. One can imagine my expenses then.

    I just put in an order...(like five minutes ago) for $200.00 illustration markers. Bad me... although I use them for school and work. But, that is just an excuse cuz I really just like using them.

    I'd like to dream my troubles all away

    Cool, I love markers. $200 sounds like a lot of $, but I bet you will get good use out of them.

    Actually, compared to a lot of vibes, this one wasn't that spendy.

    Maybe because it was treats rather than "real" food?

    Oooh... perhaps. Cause I definitely spend way more than that on groceries!

    Well, I've been poor lately and not spending any money and last night I bought my friend and I a long island iced tea and the two came to $13.00. Way out of my budget, but we felt it necessary to drowned our post-election woes.

    This is true. Unfrugal as it is a treat and not real food.

    I could have bought Frozen OJ for this. Still feel that the splurge satsfied me. Otherwise, I could have spent bigger.
