Well, you are coming here in October, right?

If my friend and I can save up enough money together we do want to go on a road trip within the state. Maybe he'd be interested. I'll talk to him!

My friends refuse to shop with me lol. I do the same thing. My mom gets POed at me too, so I usually just go alone

That means you have to come up here! Seriously, I have enough money in savings to afford a trip down there (or at least I did before I spent $500 on the dogs ... lol), my mom just isn't serious about it. I might just have to get in my car and drive down there by myself, and hope I don't get lost

I love seeing other people who splurge.

Yes buying off e bay can be tricky. I spend more on clothes that dont fit me, than the ones that do. BUT I dont have an Abercrombie and Fitch store here, so I have to shop online to get them. And most of them are actually more expensive than buying from the store, but it is cheaper than driving 3+ hours to get to the closest store.

I usually DO NOT buy any used clothes(most are new with tags), but some are gently used. And I have only had a few people send me old clothes that are not just as nice as new. Then you leave bad feedback

Lets see more of what everyone is buying. I am actually looking at the threads and marking what I want next

Well, this has been an interesting thread to read! First, because of the content of the conversation . . . second, because I LOVE TO SHOP!

Sure I have TONS of bills . . . I'll be paying hospital bills forever, and then the mortgage, car payment, groceries, vet bills, CAT FOOD! etc . . . but then you have to live a little.

I love ebay! My recent purchases have been:
black enamelware coffee & sugar canisters
and this - Punched Metal Star

I just redid my bathroom, so I've recently bought new rugs, new white eyelet shower curtain, new window curtains, new faux wood blinds, paint & a wall hanging to go on the wall and some other little decorations. (I don't even want to think about how much money I spent on that redo)

Big spends? Back in May, I bought myself my birthstone ring, something I have always wanted, and think that I deserve. It's probably a 3 carat, emerald cut aquamarine stone in the center with a blue topaz stone on either size (also emerald cut) . . . definitely a splurge

Oh, I forgot to add . . . yesterday at Walmart, I bought a new curling iron, LOL (mine was fried!) . . . a new Spinbrush toothbrush & some new headbands that give me a migraine . . . and I bought some stuff for the house, you know, non-fun stuff that has to be bought, LOL.

I forgot one of my most recent and exciting purchases. Maybe I should first say that I work, and pay rent, car insurance, student loans, utitilies, groceries, pet supplies... just so that no one accuses me of having it easy.

I bought plane tickets for Alexa and I to go to Vegas

We are going at the end of October to meet my sister for her 30th birthday

.

So I'll have to go shopping soon, maybe pick up a new polo or two at Abercrombie.

**dragonfly** · 08-31-2006, 06:21 AM

Here's what I bought today:
For some of the pets:
5 cans of Pro Plan dog food(they were on sale)
12 large crickets
1 tub of mealworms
a box of Blue Dog Bakery molasses and peanut butter dog biscuits
a package of beef dog training treats

For the kids back to school supplies:
Watercolors
6 pink pearl erasers

And for myself I bought an electric pencil sharpener, so I don't have to sharpen 60 pencils with a manual sharpener. It was absolutely worth the $15.00.

I hope you have a great trip, Laura. Scott and I have been to Vegas only once, but that's where we got engaged!!!

It is so fun to visit and we would love to go back sometime.

We had a terrific trip to New York City at the end of July/early August. We were lucky to have enough frequent flyer miles to get our plane trip free and my dear husband has been so loyal to Hampton Inns that we had enough Hilton Honors points to have 4 nights at the Waldorf Astoria, free, as well. So we splurged on the "fun" part of our trip. That included a Broadway play, Wicked, and many other neat things and great meals. Since then, other than the normal bills, we replaced my daughter's ceiling fan, which literally was falling out of her ceiling and have paid up at the vet!
