Topic: Expensive stuff | |
---|---|
On friday i had to buy a pair of shoes for a wedding. I left it last minute and had to buy them in the suit hire shop. The cheapest, which i had to go for, was 115 pounds, about 180 dollars. This is about twice as much as i have ever paid for a pair of shoes.
What extravegances have you purchased lately? |

Well i bought a pair of shoes to stop my feet getting wet in the rain with my flip flops, and i was very extravagant!! i spent a whole £8 on them |

I can't afford extravagances, unfortunately. I think my biggest "splurge" lately is my vacation house for this summer ($830 for the week). Other than that, I'm very frugal. I don't buy anything unless it's on sale pretty well dirt cheap. And I use Craigslist a lot for free stuff, I furnished my apartment with freebies from there.

I wish i wasnt so lazy and i would do that myself, even though i can afford the odd extravegance. |

I think even if I won a huge amount in the lottery, I'd still feel guilty paying full price for something. I actually enjoy living simply and with few possessions/responsibilities. I'd rather spend what extra money I do have on things like traveling, anyway. |

Outside of my kids bday wishes (a sleepover bash for the daughter 11, which cost about $150 and my sons hard drive for his xbox 360 and live connection which togther cost approx.$100) my most expensive purchase this year was our 42" LCD flat screen LG tv. That put me back $734. But I think I racked up a good deal on that.
