    anything that plugs into the wall.

    Electronics - if i see a deal it all of a sudden becomes a need.

      date nights. We tend to go overboard on these and do a weekend get away here and there. However we are debt free and after 20 some years together I figure still dating each other is pretty important!

        Tools and cars.

        Mainly because I'd rather buy a good tool once than a cheap tool twice, and cars because they're more than a mode of transportation for me. They're my hobby, my daily smiles, and at times, sources of income.

          CAMPING! It's our favorite way to getaway. I like my camper way more than my house!!! We have a 2010 camper (2 bedroom) with 2 slide outs. We keep it on a permanent camping site year round at an awesome campground. We usually go to the camper every week during the spring/summer/fall...even if it's only for 1 night. This year we took the camper to the Great Smoky Mountains! Camping is so much cheaper than a hotel!

            Eating out for me too. There have been months where we spend 15% of our monthly budget. In the last few months though since the baby has arrived we've substantially cut back in this area.

              Food and travel!

              I just can't stop myself when it comes to these. And honestly I don't want to!

                I'm mostly frugal except for my exercise pants. Since I'm always in them, because my business is fitness, I want some that will last. Is I go cheap, they will be finished in a few months, so I was spend extra; however, I do buy them when there is a sale.

                  I have to say dining out too... but with my wife!

                  If I'm eating by myself or with co-workers, I'll watch my wallet.

                  Here's an example of my lunch away from the office (by myself) if I didn't bring anything from home:

                  - Jack In The Box: Breakfast Jack (add lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mustard)
                  - Banana: I ALWAYS have one with me
                  - Lots of water

                  Total damage - $1.07 (this is only for the breakfast jack; add another .25 if I had to buy a banana)

                  This is my lunch by myself.

                  Cheap, it works, and it will hold me until I eat dinner a few hours later. I just eat slllllloooooowwwww.
