What do you splurge on?
Replies

cosmetics...I'm a makeup addict and not ashamed to admit it...I used to do mini makeup tutorials on youtube, and was thinking I should maybe start up again to somewhat justify the makeup purchases0

i really wish i could buy halo top here....everyones raving about t...3

I splurged on really nice socks for running. They are $12/pair!
We go out or get take out once a week. I order what I want so that's definitely a splurge calorie-wise. I'm also one to order more than one dish when I can't make up my mind. So it's financially a splurge too. I had a waitress tell me "wow, you eat a lot". Actually, I don't since I take most of it home.

Money and calories: Craft beer.1
-
High quality fresh seafood
Halo top
Vacations!0 -
I'm a clothes *kitten* for expensive shirts.
I like nice dress shirts for work.0 -
Food related:
Artisan cheeses
Organic free-range meats
And (when I'm not trying to lose weight): handmade chocolates from a local shop. Stupidly expensive, so I usually only buy two.
Not-food-related:
Travel! I've saved for a year and I'm going to Russia next month!3 -
Money: I like to look for convenience things for my home. I've almost clicked the "Ship Order' button on amazon a bunch of times and hesitated just because I didn't want to spend the money just yet . Lately it's a stationary vacuum, kind of like an electric dust pan that you see in hair salons. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and I have dust bunnies the size of actual rabbits that lurk in the corners of my family room if I go a few days without sweeping.
I also like to get higher quality things that I will use regularly. I just got a nice quality pots and pans set. my last set was mid range, and lasted 9 years. I'm hoping this nicer quality one will last at least the same length of time plus a couple more years.
Calorie-wise: Tiramisu. I don't make it at home, but if we go somewhere and it's on the dessert menu, I need to try it. There's an italian restaurant that we go to a couple times a year (has a maximum capacity of 50 people, high quality ingredients and flavors to tickle every taste bud), and the portion they give you literally looks like they cut six large pieces out of a 9x13 pan haha! so worth it!0 -

Pilates reformer class once a week $24
Halo Top ice cream once a week $6.50
Not sure which I like best, but I eat the ice cream after Pilates
Also, single serve 90 cal packets of almond butter. If I buy a tub, it's gone.2 -
I splurge on clothing and cooking tools for sure. For some reason, I think a new kitchen gadget will transform my life haha. As far as the clothing, I but cheap but quantity because I always feel like wearing something new lol. Definitely a clothes and kitchen gadget hoarder.0

Money: my kids. I'm nearly always picking up this or that for them. I can't help it!
Calories: cookies. I love cookies.1 -
Thought of another one.... Stitchfix! Yes I know I can buy similar at Nordstrom Rack but I don't have time to go search. Something fun about that box showing up each month!2

As a fellow Canuck subject to the same lack of availability, I too think that Halo top tastes like sour grapes!

Wine. Both money and calorie wise haha2
-
Fancy vegan desserts/chocolate/bliss balls! Both money and calories 0
-
High quality beer on both counts.
I have traveled thousands of miles in pursuit of beer.2 -
Calorie wise - wine daily. Occasionally baby back ribs, lots of them.
Cash - I'm not much of a big spender, except for my grandkids. They've got me pretty well wrapped.

Workout shoes. I have my running shoes, new schmancy zero drop running shoes I'm breaking in, Merrill barefoot trail shoes, Adidas weightlifting shoes that make me feel like a real badass...but non workout shoes? Meh.1
-
Calories - good chocolate, Belgian beer, pizza.
Cash - races, workout gear, running accessories, books0 -
Calories-right now it's fresh mozzarella with a bit of pesto. Three little slices is 300 calories but it's 300 calories of yum!
Money-Grocery delivery, especially when my kids are both off of school. Either one of my children alone are a delight to shop with. I'm not being sarcastic. My 5th grader is old enough to be independently useful at the grocery store and make the trip go faster. But the two of them together lately are like a vinegar and baking soda volcano -a big mess that no one but their parents should have to deal with.2 -
Money - I'm not much into possessions. Not all self righteous or anything, I just feel like most "stuff" is a waste. So monetarily I'll spend money to play golf or go on vacation.
Calories - A really good scotch or perhaps an eatery I've never been to before so I can try something new.1 -
Money - I'm too poor lol... possibly a new pc game?
Calories - popcorn1 -
Halo Top, Lily's chocolate, and prosecco.0
-
Money wise I splurge on clothes, concerts/theater and travel. I've spent so much time not doing things because I was scared. This summer, I've already purchased tickets to 4 concerts, 2 theater shows and a trip to FL with my bestie.
Food wise - candy. I have an insatiable sweet tooth
