I think it was close to $3,000. PRICEY! And he hasn't gotten a big gift since! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-69006 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:46:08 +0000 heffalump 69006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I rarely buy anything, let alone big things. The most I ever spent on myself was a trip to Australia and New Zealand with my sister. I saved up all summer long for that trip! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68833 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 11:51:57 +0000 ALittleP 68833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A trip to Kathmandu, Nepal and Bangkok, Thailand after I broke up with my last boyfriend (before I met my husband). It was a solo trip - though I met a girlfriend whose husband was stationed in Nepal. It was the BEST experience ever to travel so far by myself.</p> <p>The most expensive thing was my Mac AirBook but I got to write it off on taxes since it's for my independent consulting business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68779 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:58:48 +0000 daniellemybelle 68779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Man, I don't think I have ever bought anything big for myself! I am blessed to have gotten things like jewelry and my computer from my parents and DH. I guess the biggest thing we've purchased was our couch, which was originally $1200 but we got on Craigslist for $350! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68767 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:29:17 +0000 pelikila 68767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Even with the money my grandparents contributed to my wedding dress, it still tops the list as the most expensive thing I've bought myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68766 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:29:04 +0000 babynumber1 68766@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the livingroom furniture I bought on Saturday- I would normally consider this a joint purchase, but I really wanted it, and my husband didn't care! It totalled a little over 2,000 :) My preggo belly needed somewhere more comfy to crash at the end of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68763 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:24:05 +0000 Rubies 68763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marriedandlovingit: wawa wee wa!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68762 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:21:22 +0000 autumnlove 68762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Marisa 815 wedding gown. After taxes, alterations and a rush fee....well over $2500. But I wore it for 8 glorious hours! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68756 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:11:01 +0000 Cchoi4 68756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marriedandlovingit: hehehe </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68755 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:10:38 +0000 Cchoi4 68755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yikes, i'm usually pretty frugal when it comes to "unnecessary" purchases...but when it comes to that special "big ticket" item...I splurge. My wedding dress was roughly $4000 w/o alterations. i say again, yikes. I don't like to admit that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68751 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:00:11 +0000 mrsjyw 68751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My macbook is my only big purchase... ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68747 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:52:55 +0000 mrstilly 68747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My macbook - $1200. I can't think of anything else even close. I don't really spend money on shoes/clothes/bags. The most I've spent on a bag was $50 for my messenger bag, and on shoes it was $100 on running sneakers. </p> <p>ETA:<br /> Ooohh.. my mountain bike - $800. Best purchase ever and my most prized possession. Can't believe I forgot about it, except that I didn't ride last year since I just had DS and the year before I was pregnant, so I only rode a few times in early summer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68731 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 09:16:35 +0000 BananaPancakes 68731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@marriedandlovingit: That's a good one!</p> <p>I can't even think of something really nice I've bought myself. Everything that I think of, my husband actually bought me. I bought myself a pair of Frye boots this year after pining over them for the last three years, but that was only about $350.<br /> Oh, I guess my wedding dress, maybe, which was around $2200. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68718 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:27:48 +0000 calsmom 68718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got breast implants about 5 years ago.

It is probably the only designer watch I will own in my lifetime, so I splurged, big time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68672 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 01:47:07 +0000 808love 68672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mac.

It's getting outdated though...I've been too chintzy to upgrade to Leopard/Lion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68608 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:03:41 +0000 MaisyMay 68608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My bachelor's and master's degrees!<br /> If not school, then a $350 laptop that I needed because mine died.

Finally a moment to breathe. Hello Beeing in bed before I zzz! The most expensive thing I bought myself is a custom fat pave diamond ring. I think it was $1800. It was to celebrate my singlehood. (lame). I gave the ring to my mom :) I don't think she wears it though so I might take it back. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68566 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:38:12 +0000 Rubies 68566@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: I have my eye/heart on a particular Chanel purse that I hope to buy either for my 35th or 40th birthday...Or 10th wedding anniversary...Or if I win the lottery...LOL...But yeah, I will totally pass it down to LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68548 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:13:44 +0000 MsMini 68548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have to say my laptop. My current MacBook Pro was pretty pricey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68541 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:02:59 +0000 betsyboop 68541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My wedding dress, which was a lot. But a few months later, my generous aunt insisted on paying for it so she wrote me a check for that amount. Does that count? If not, then it was a Chanel purse. I justify all my handbag purchases by telling myself I will one day pass them down to my daughter. Good thing baby #1 is a girl - phew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-the-most-expensive-thing-youve-ever-purchased#post-68530 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:32:16 +0000 mediagirl 68530@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first laptop I ever bought was $800 after all the discounts and deals I got on it. </p>
