Least frugal thing you do?

I typically pay off cars in 1-2 years but buy a new one every 3 years. I'd save a lot of money if I'd hold onto them for longer. It's nice to have a car that's under warranty but 3-5 year old cars typically don't need enough repairs to justify the cost of a new one.
Oh, and eating out, which I do quite a bit.

Cable internet. I priced checked trying to get something cheaper, there is no such thing in my area, even dial up would require a landline in addition to the fee for the internet. We just can't live without internet.
Food. I love eating out, eating organic and so on. I did cut about $400 per month from this and am working on more though.
Toys. Okay, I really have no excuse here. I am the video game addict. Electronics is where I really have dropped some cash. The main way I save money here is that I try not to buy games new and I love playing my old one over and over.
Now if my husband was to answer this question, his honest answer would be to be married to me. I have never once heard him tell me no, which is why about a year ago I started learning how to set limits for myself. I was going to make us very poor otherwise.

Forgot:
Sunday I downloaded a coupon for 30% off any item at Borders. Bought the 2007-8 Entertainment book for $25 less 30%. No s/h ($5) as any other site. Also had $$$ left on 2007 gift card. Bottom line was <$15. Also, clerk @ check out was DUMB and gave me a book NOT for my area. When I went back to exchange I complained and was given a $5 coupon to ANY purchase, no expire.
