What was the last thing you bought or spent money on?

I'm not much of a splurger but I work out of home quite a bit. I have a rather luxurious leather office chair. It's great to lean back in during those stressful moments. It was worth the money.

I need one that has adjustable arm supports, good back support, and adjustable height. And rolling. If only I could sneak into the first job I had and roll that one out

I drove to Capital city Thursday [3 hrs. north]. Half way there I realized I'd left my phone charger at home. While in the other city went to two lg. electronic chain stores to buy a charger cord but they only had the $60. version. 1st thing this a.m. I was at the electronic discount store in my city to buy a car charger for my phone, costs $6.

If you can manage it, I'd seek out that good chair. It's one of those things where you ask yourself......Why didn't I do this years ago?

You posted this same thread twice. I answered in the other one, but I will answer here too. Last night I went to Walmart and spend about $30. That was the last thing that I spent money on. If you are asking about the last major purchase that I made, that would have been last winter. I spent $400 to have a dent fixed on my truck. (Darn icy roads!)

Uhm, Don't know what you are talking about? The only other thread I started was about entainment at home. You must have the wrong guy

Good question. Will be interesting to read the responses.

I placed an Amazon order last night for a few items. A book for my daughter, screen covers for her iPod, a weekly planner for her for school this year and a new stapler for me. Total order: $36.42.

Thanks, Steve. My father is an MD as well. I told him to start doing the surveys, and Quantia seems to offer all Amazon incentives...Do you use that one?

My last significant purchase was $280 for scuba diving lessons and certification. My BF is taking me to Belize for my birthday, and it would be a travesty to go there without enjoying some of the best scuba opportunities in the world.

Experiences, not stuff!

Happy birthday and hope you have a great trip! Got a synthetic oil change for my girlfriends truck today. Those "EZ" type places always try to upsale me and I know better. When I rolled up, I asked about their advertised $19.99 special and told me since the truck required more oil, he quoted me around $26. When they had already drained my oil they tried to tell me I needed a $99 engine flush which I declined, and then they tried to pull a fast one on me saying I "needed" synthetic oil...which was $60...I was upset about the aggressive upcharging tactics, and told them I was quoted $26, and that I only had $40 cash on me. So I got out of there with a full synthetic oil change $60 value for $40 out the door. Some people.....

1938 Mosin Nagant Rifle. Too good a deal to pass up, and it's a beautiful piece of WW2 history (even though its a commie gun).
I got it for $50.00 from someone selling off their gun collection.

Congrats on your purchase!
I just inherited some guns...Can you please direct me to a reputable site to sell them?

We just bought DW an 06 BMW.

Congrats Maat! What Model?
I have an 08' 335i. It is my pride and joy, and gives me more motivation to make and save more money. Other than the Bimmer, my life is relatively simple

We bought an 325i. DW has to have it for 7 years, but it might be a car she will like for a longer time period.

new clothes for my husband, myself and my son for my brother's wedding last weekend. Spent about $150

$392.00 for car repairs yesterday. Now they tell me it needs a tie rod end. I'm going to wait and see if I can get the tie rod fixed at the college automotive class shop next month for a fraction of the price.

'Starving' college student here who's had waaaaay too many Murphy visits lately.

Tried out a new restaurant tonight. Just opened this week. It is a Chinese vegetarian place about 10 minutes from home. It was very good and they were having a grand opening special - 15% off the bill and one free drink (non-alcoholic) per person, including soft drinks and slushes. My daughter got a green apple slush and I got a lychee slush. Both were very tasty, as was the meal. That ran us about $28 with tip for the 3 of us. Well worth it. We'll definitely be back there.

Sounds great...Vegetarian meals almost always offer a significant savings over meat based dishes.

Stylewriter software. $160.00 but well worth it.
