<p>Poor eyesight and zoosermom’s Yukon potatoes made me think this was “Luxury yams.”</p>
<p>My purebred dog- I wanted a certain breed in order to compete in certain areas with him.
I buy what I want at the grocery store although we don’t have whole foods, so I don’t think I am going too wild.
Travel- I love to travel but I will say, we stay at smaller inns and don’t eat at fancy restaurants.
My grandson- I love buying him things.</p>
<p>Lol VeryHappy! </p>
<p>I like yams, too, but I guess I don’t really consider them to be a splurge.</p>

<p>H is into food. He does grocery shopping, so I don’t exactly know how much he spends. I know he goes to farmer’s market very often. Everything we have is marked organic. H also likes home furnishing.
eating out</p>
<p>Kids’ education and everything related to them.</p>
<p>Fresh flowers for the house - arrangements in several rooms which I usually put together myself. I purchase roses, hydrangeas, lilies out of season…I hate to say, but it’s a few hundred a month…</p>
<p>Orchids…</p>
<p>Interior designer</p>
<p>I don’t know many (any?)people that would have a problem with any of these things.</p>
<p>About every 3-4 months i spend almost $300 for a keratin treatment for my hair. I have always had thick, rather frizzy, poufy hair and the fact that I can have shiny, smooth, pretty hair makes me ridiculously giddy.</p>
<p>I would do just about anything for any of my kids…and they are all grown up. Don’t even get me started on my grandson. :)</p>
<p>^^^^Oh, they’re out there. I’ve read many comments on CC about the folly of buying many of the things listed here.</p>

<p>Ha ha, plenty of people on CC will rip you a new one if you dare to discuss buying a luxury item and tell you you should donate the money to charity. Trust me on this! </p>
<p>I don’t spend on flowers or keratin treatments or interior designers but more power to those who do.</p>
<p>What about botox or plastic surgery? No one has listed them yet. But of course we are all natural beauties here.</p>
<p>I spend my money on:
Shoes. My first pair came from Nordstrom (when they were still Nordstrom-Best) and I fully expect to be buried in the last pair I ever buy. Growing up, we had very little, but always, always good shoes.

House cleaner every 2 weeks
My Audi
Cars for our daughters

Books. I buy 95% of my books at full price from my favorite independent bookstore. I buy a lot of books
Food and wine. Quality, not necessarily the most expensive. Groceries from one of the 2 independent grocers near me. Never shop sales.
