I never buy movie food. I can buy, and do, all the junk they have much cheaper any day of the week. And the fake butter on the popcorn, eeeeewwwwwww. How can anyone eat that?
Good for you. This CAN definitely be a "splurge". Lots of folks would not pay for the medical treatments that make and keep our pets comfortable. You are a responsible "pet parent". I commend you.
I try to be as frugal as possible. I did splurge on a 11.6 tablet with a keyboard and it was Android 7. It was cheap only like $100 and then I bought a 7 inch Fire HD tablet with Alexa for $50.
Right now, gardening stuff. It's funny that you think you'll save money by growing your own veggies, but by the time you buy soil, even if you find free pots, it seriously adds up. Plus, I'm setting up grow lights in my hobby room, and those add up, even though I found the cheapest option possible.
It's an investment, though. Once I get the tubs full of good soil, and the grow lights set up, I can use everything every year, with minimal future investment. But, there's still additional constant expenses, like pest control stuff, fertilizer, etc.
It's my hobby and that's what I splurge on. It would actually be cheaper to buy food, but it's fun to grow my own, and mine will ripen on the vine. I hope to have tons of tomatoes this year, even though I just live in an apartment with a tiny balcony.
I have lots of flowers blooming right now, too.
So, I splurge on my gardening hobby. I'm really frugal on everything else. Not enough money for much splurging here.
Travel for sure, books, wine, good beer, and as of yesterday, a country club membership. My BF golfs a lot, and this is an inexpensive club compared to others, so we’ll probably break even, but the kids and I can hang by the pool, etc. as well.
Oh, and occasionally I’ll splurge on some fresh cut flowers for the dining room table, they make me happy so why not!
Some people can go two hours without eating. Some even three, and I've heard of even breaking the four hour barriers.
