LOL.. we would be perfect shopping together. I drive some friends insane because I'm constantly walking all over the store. Put that back, but now I want it, no wait.. putting it back again.

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

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!

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]

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 bought the last 3 seasons of MASH to complete my collection.

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!

Kay, I meant to say to you that I think you are being very responsible and I am certainly not questioning how you spend your money! I see that the offensive post has been removed, but it is sad that it got to that point.

I like this thread, actually. It is fun to see how the rest of your splurge, or don't splurge. I have a new driver in my house, so things have changed a bit around here!

I'm so jealous! I really want to see Wicked, Alexa was able to see it a while ago when she was in NY with her family. It is coming to Phoenix next month, but tickets sold out the same day they went on sale! I guess I'll have to wait until the next time it tours. We saw the Lion King two weeks ago and I loved it, we were also able to see Avenue Q when we were in London.

[Kfamr]

I'm jealous too! I wanna see Wicked! I saw the local drag queen show version of it, it was awesome.

One of my best friends has a Wicked Obsession.. .

I think the last thing I bought was TV Guide.. I only bought it for the Lost CD in it lol.

[Logan]

I can say I am "obsessed" with "Wicked". It was wonderful. My husband agrees. I am having the poster we bought (which I protected all the way home) framed. Will hang it in a place of honor. Scott downloaded the soundtrack for me, too, so I can listen to the music. It really was fun. I have seen Broadway plays, the travelling ones, here in Greenville, but this was the real thing! And we loved it. We also paid dearly for it, but it was worth it.

Yesterday I bought Swheat Scoop cat litter for my bunny's litter box.
Today I spent $3 on a bus to and from the farm for more pre-job stuff. Johny Red (calf) has gotten so big! He's weaned now.

[sammy101]

I recently bought my homecoming dress and shoes!

[cloverfdx]

I spent about $20 on scrapbooking stuff today, some cool doggie paper, a new album and some stickers . Plus the vet bill i paid, and the Flyball $$s i have to pay in the morning... good way to blow $250 in 2 days .
