What unfrugal thing did you do today or yesterday?

[project15]

I just bought a new LCD monitor :O we took it out of home improvement since it makes the whole office area more attractive and that's what the home improvement fund is for

Well, this is more like a few weeks ago. But I didn't redeem my rebates for a total of $65. Money didn't seem very important when I didn't visit the site and caught up in my own little world at the same time.

I'm curious. Why did you have to pay interest on a 0% card?

Since I have been working from home the past week I would have to save "Working From Home". Not driving the car is my way of being frugal for the week.

Entire family was out for dinner and shopping too...

Chipped in for a "suck-up" gift for the boss in the office. Why do WE need to give him anything if the head-office gave HIM a raise?

Circled the entire outer metro area driving from one branch of a store to another branch, not knowing there was an intermediate branch I could've gone to and then getting mixed-up on an interstate exchange. It would have cut my driving by more than half if I had checked addresses and driving directions before I left.

this year i opted out of the secret santa and did not have any money on me for the bosses gift. did not have to take any junk i did not need home and the boss makes way more than me-besides all they bought him was a gift card for a department store i cannot afford to walk into. my scrooge time--my little spending was on my grandkids

Bought take out lunch for 4 adults and 2 kiddos (4 & 2 y/o) costing $26.

Spent the afternoon w/ DDs and 4 grands - priceless.

[anewday44]

I bought a coffee at panera bread - even though i can expense it for work...still

[Granite]

i bought a new mop, a new shovel and a new rake plus $25 in flower seeds and bulbs. none of these items were necessities but i will use them for a long time as they are all good quality

I bought an overpriced package of chocolate-covered pomegranite bits. Normally I'm just as happy with a cheap bag of generic chocolate chip cookies or something, but I've been dying to see what they tasted like, and decided to splurge this once.

That was probably a mistake. Darn, they're good...

[superdad1580]

I bought an Iced caramel latte from Mcdonalds. I make my own caramel syrup, and I own an espresso maker, I can make the exact same latte for about twenty five cents, but I paid $3.50.

[mahanda]

took two granddaughters and partners to $tree. spent $30 on whatever they wanted

[Radiance]

Bought a $20 toddler blanket when he could just use one of mines...
Allocated to entertainment budget...

It is the cutest thing with animals over a blue background...

[johnins2009]

last weekend I spent $200 cash on a gaming system...but it was for entertainment that would keep me at home for a while...that is how I justified the spending.

I was really hungry after teaching all day and bought a sandwich at the grocer when I picked up milk and a nicer bottle of wine than usual. I didn't need the sandwich, but it looked delightful--Chicken salad on a croissant. When I got home I found it was curried chicken salad--not my favorite so my little treat ended up being dinner for my husband. Bah.
