    Let my daughter buy a skein of specialty yarn for $6 when we stopped at the craft shop, even though I knew we had a 40% off coupon for the store at home.

      I bought both lunch and dinner out today. Since DH is away it's hard to motivate myself to cook in.

        That is the best use of 3 bucks that I've seen lately!

          My significant other is in the hospital, so my big unfrugal thing is buying and sending him cards every day. He's worth every cent.

            Ordered something from my step-daughter's school fundraiser. I almost never order from those catalogs from anybody but we don't see her that often and I couldn't say no.

              Paid $134 for tickets to see "Wicked" in January.

                What was it, and why did you return it, Ima? What did you get instead?

                  Lunch with very unfrugal former coworker, and I paid for both of us! But I will not be seeing her again for several months...

                    It was a hanging man, complete with stuffed legs. Did you ever see the Far side cartoon of the fat lady that was carrying a sign around that says, lost puppy.? She had sat on it and it was stuck in the back of her dress,
                    Well I dressed up like an old lady, complete with sign and the dog stuck in my rear cheeks! I won the first prize. My husband was funnier , he was a real fat redneck with bubba teeth.

                          Thanks! Well, I ate lunch and dinner out yesterday and I broke my glasses, so I have to go buy some new ones. Lucky for me, I only need the cheapie reading glasses.

                            We leave for vacation tomorrow and didn't really have anything good in the house for dinner tonite so we ordered a pizza. We did order from the less expensive pizza shop and I picked it up so didn't have to tip a delivery guy.

                              well, it's frugal and unfrugal at the same time: i bought $30 worth of unexpected meat. hey, when the carnivore gods speak, one must listen.

                                Picked up my shirts and khakis from the commercial laundry where I usually have them done. Worse yet, I paid the bill with a credit card to avoid having to make an extra stop for cash.
