Like pp, if I need something I bargain hunt the crap out of it. I don't good consider good, healthy, organic food for the house a spluge so much as a necessity, though that is a big part of our budget. I guess when we travel, that's a splurge? we're hoping to go to alaska later this year &amp; try to have 1 big trip/year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-114324 Sat, 07 Apr 2012 10:24:22 +0000 stiffaknee 114324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Clothes and shoes!

I do splurge on some beauty products but I stick with drugstore brands for most things. I used to use Moroccan Oil on my hair which is crazy expensive, but I switched to the cream they make which is a lot cheaper. </p> <p>I used to splurge on designer jeans and handbags but I don't do that anymore! </p> <p>We're splurging on my engagement ring resetting, but that's counting for mother's day, push present, 7th anniversary, and Christmas, so we added up how much we might have spent on all of it and stayed on budget under that. </p> <p>I do like to splurge on facials because they're SO good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-114070 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 19:14:56 +0000 joyjoy 114070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Food. We like to treat ourselves to really nice $$$$ restaurants every once in a while. I think the experiences and memories are worth it, though, because we both really love food. </p> <p>Other than that, I like nice brands, but I'm also a bargain hunter. I get the good stuff, but I never pay full price. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-114053 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 18:36:33 +0000 MrsBrewer 114053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Witz: I found out the hard way, but I agree I will never again buy generic kitty litter.

As far as food goes, we like to go to lots of $$ and $$$ restaurants, but not $$$+ (if that makes sense), so I guess that's splurging, but not uber-splurging. </p> <p>And when we go grocery shopping, we buy generic everything except for certain things -- cheese, dishwasher detergent, and kitty litter, to name a few. So I guess those are kind of "splurges." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-114036 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 18:13:22 +0000 MrsBrewer 114036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really nothing....DH is the one that splurges. I don't mind though. I don't wear make up. I don't shop for clothes often at all. I really don't have any expensive gadgets. I'm pretty boring! Although I consider myself very frugal though! And I don't mind at all! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-114035 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 18:09:52 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 114035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Travel and food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-114022 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:32:37 +0000 autumnlove 114022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Eating out, Makeup, tech gadgets, anything LO related, gifts for my DH! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-114010 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 17:23:05 +0000 lavender 114010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've cut down on my hair/make-up splurges.

I don't splurge. However, I do like "nice" things but won't buy it unless it's needed, even if it's on sale. The closest things to splurging would be on technology (a good computer is an investment, but I'd research it fully first and it has to be on sale), food (and I don't mean restaurant food), and baby products. Oh and I like real vacations, but I cross that off as a necessity for living in an iceberg of a country =P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-113957 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:30:29 +0000 yoursilverlining 113957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good food (at home and eating out), good booze and high quality skincare products. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-113953 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:25:03 +0000 heffalump 113953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Massages. It's really for my health because I get bad migraines, but I still feel like it's a splurge. </p> <p>My mom just bought LO a $50 dress for her naming which I think is crazy. But she says it's for a special day, so it's worth it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-113730 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:08:39 +0000 regberadaisy 113730@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing really. I'm too cheap and frugal!!! If I want something I wait forever, prowl sales and wait to get a good deal!</p> <p>Anything expensive I have is because others (my husband!) bought for me because I will never buy it for myself.</p> <p>Not a makeup/beauty product person because I'm too lazy and too cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-113725 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:04:36 +0000 Mrs. Pen 113725@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I splurge on beauty stuff- like my chi hair dryer. For things like my hair/face, what you put on it really affects it so I like high-quality products. So I used Moroccan oil on my hair to protect it. I also pay $16/bottle for my shampoo and conditioner. And at ulta my favorite eyeliner is $20! </p> <p>I also splurge on my jeans. I never could find jeans growing up because I was crazy tall and skinny. I have filled out but still have long legs and really appreciate jeans that fit and are comfortable. My favorite brand is MEK which is about $130 a pair. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-113722 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 10:02:39 +0000 chopsuey 113722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hair and face products, technology, food! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-do-you-splurge-on#post-113714 Fri, 06 Apr 2012 09:56:26 +0000 mediagirl 113714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last night I went to Ulta and spent $125 on make-up and hair products that I had run out of. I let everything go to the last minute, so it was a big purchase all at once. In my eyes, my make-up, lotions and hair products are total splurges that aren't necessities. I could use something cheap like Herbal Essences, but I really like the nice stuff. </p> <p>What do you splurge on? </p>
