What luxury or indulgence do you allow yourself to have or spend on, even if it costs a bit more, because "you're worth it?"?

Braswell Select Preserves. I love the glass it comes in. The balsamic sweet onion jam, fig preserves, and tart cherry preserves are to die for.

I allow myself a good haircut, which amounts to about $100 with cut, style and tips. But I only do it every 5–6 months or so. I also splurge a bit more on perfume than I should. That damn Chanel lures me in every time.

I’d love to say beer, but if truth be telt, it’s horror movies. I love and enjoy them all, and my collection is getting to be pretty epic if I do say so myself.

For me, it’s Cottonelle Aloe Toilet paper. It costs more than the cheapo TP, but my tuchus is thankful. Oh, and Cable internet.

Honestly, nothing. It’s a really bad habit. I can’t enjoy nice things like that, I just end up feeling guilty about it, and that takes all of the pleasure away from the experience.

Smelly soaps and lotions.

Not much and not very often. Because of the situation I was in for so long, splurging meant buying a $0.75 bag of M&M’s at the grocery store every once in a while. After my wife’s death it was still hard to ‘justify’ spending anything. I did buy one of my ‘dream’ cars, but it took a lot of convincing from a lot of people to get me to do that.

Just the other day I walked around the grocery store looking for dinner. I wanted a t-bone steak and I kept picking it up and putting it down. I finally got it, but it was hard to do.

So… I’ll answer, “An expensive cut of meat, rarely.” and allow myself that little play on words there.

I probably spend more money on makeup, than I spend on food each year…

My partner and I will indulge in a meal out at a really nice restaurant, at least once a month. The last one was Japanese. My partner is also a very good cook (he trained as a professional chef, although never actually worked as one) so we indulge with good food at home too. I would give up every other luxury, even the internet, before I give up good food.

Undershirts by Calvin Klein. Nothing feels better than those against your skin and nothing falls short more than cheap flimsy discount T shirts.

premium sheets, expensive lingerie, and eating out in a great restaurant. Also, seeing dance performances (they’re really not usually that expensive, so I don’t know if they count as a luxury) and concerts. I think it’s important to not think of it as “spoiling” yourself. Does pleasure really spoil us? Is it selfish to enjoy life? Yes, I think we need to remember those less fortunate than us, who can’t buy these things. Also, not to let the buying get out of hand, but hell, life is short and I say, follow your bliss. I do mind overpaying for things because in my life, the money has not, and still doesn’t, come easily. That’s why I try to buy anything I can at a discount or on sale.

Soaps and body lotions and bullets.;)

alexander mcqueen!

I don’t splurge often, but when I do, it is on cheese, nova lox, and July 4th fireworks.

@worriedguy I have a weakness for those 3 things too!!

I usually buy generic alternatives to brand-name stuff because they’re cheaper and the President’s Choice stuff is usually just as good, if not better. But I splurge on Heinz ketchup. Does that count?

Once a month, I’ll treat myself to a nice dinner out.

Ground coffee from a little shop that roasts the beans.

Good quality coffee.

South of France lavender soap.

Solid white tuna.

Proper heating and cooling. I’m just so much nicer and more relaxed when I’m the proper temperature, and I think that many people who try to save money by not using the heat/AC as much are grumpier because of their improper temperature (I’m looking at you, parents!).

Charmin toilet paper. Because my ass deserves to be wiped by the closest thing to god-dammed rose petals!

Quality marijuana

@Facade – LMAO

wonderfully grown ganja. there’s nothing better to uplift your mood, and you don’t have to worry about a hangover. it also brings people together, and i love to spoil myself with many friends : )

Organic food.
