* DirecTV in 3 rooms: $67/mo. If I had it my way, it would be down to the TV room only. Also I wish I could cut out all the crappy local channels and customize a package to FoodTV, HGTV, Discovery, TLC and the Science Channel. That's all I want! Now the boyfriend wants to UPGRADE to HDTV. But he said he'd pay for the difference himself.

* Gym membership: $33/mo. It's 1 mile from my home. But I could be using a better, bigger, more modern gym for FREEEEEEEE. My work provides free membership to the gym closest to our offices...but it's 40 miles from where I live. So I would have to start waking up at the buttcrack of dawn to go. I think this will be my first "Welcome to SavingAdvice.com" resolution.

* My CONSUMER tendancies. I like to shop and yes I know it should not be considered an "activity", but I really do enjoy getting up on a Sunday with no plans, throw on a sundress, grab a coffee, and head downtown to peruse sale racks. Did I need to buy that nailpolish? Nope. Did I need a new "cute white shirt"? Nope.

* Buying organic meat, eggs and dairy. Veggies can be pesticide laden for all I care...but I prefer cruelty and chemical free animal products. Free range eggs. Grass fed beef. Hormone free milk.
