Mountain Dew, and soda in general, is another huge weakness of mine. I know it's ridiculous paying $1.25 for a 20-oz. bottle, and am well aware of the destruction that it is causing to my teeth, but it's just that good and I can't stay away!

I rarely go shopping (once every couple of months maybe when friends visit or I travel) but when I do it's impulse buying....but at least it's at a very cheap price point. I'll be out, and if I see something I think someone would like I'll get it.

-- gift for friend -- 15.00 limit, usually 5.00
-- for me -- depends on what it is -- ususally 25.00 limit
But..25 bucks at four stores can take you to 100....you never know

Last year, my biggest splurge other than the holidays was I found a store that had stuff I likes and I spent 200.00 on me, my sister and sister-in-law.
So there really is no pattern....it just depends....

Day-to-day...t's food spending I never cook eat a restaurants...spend about 100 a week on food just for me.
