We love to cook and appreciate good quality kitchen ware. We bought new Calphalon cookware in December - $400 for the set - but it is far better than the run of the mill set we replaced. So expensive but so worth it to us.

I'd also have to list eating out, though we are budget conscious (and calorie conscious) when we dine out, so it isn't really that expensive. We often skip appetizers or share one between us. Sometimes we share the main course and we almost never get dessert at a sit-down restaurant. We'd rather stop for water ice on the way home and spend less for the 3 of us than for one piece of cake at the restaurant. But overall I think we eat out more than we should or need to.
