What is your secret that you waste money on?

[itisalladream]

We must all have one thing that we secretly treat ourselves too... or waste money on.... for many women it seems to be shoes or a nice handbag etc.
Me? I waste my money on flight upgrades

What about you?

[wendywoopywoo222]

Fab rooms and upgrades on cruise ships.

[HollowTalk]

Haagan Daz Peanut Butter ice-cream.

[DonkeyHohtay]

Knitting yarn. Although I would argue that it's not a waste as I make things from it and it gives me a lot of joy.

Take a Break Fate and Fortune...for Texas the Psychic Horse. He contacts people’s dead guinea pigs in the afterlife!

cocaine

[Shoxfordian]

Covet game on the ipad
Mildly addicted
Complete waste of money

[Queenoftheashes]

or more seriously - expensive seats in the theatre. although not always a waste as i'm short.

Beauty products. Stuff for hair, skincare, makeup, body lotions, deodorants, body sprays etc etc. I probably use about 20% of the beauty products I own.

[thebear1]

Buying my lunch, a small daily expense that adds up.

[Queenofmyownheart]

Make up and wine 🙈😂

[BillywigSting]

Coffee shop coffee and coloured pencils.

I have more coloured pencils than 5yo ds

[wigglybeezer]

Every now and then I buy a painting, when I really should spend the money on more prosaic things.

[AguerosAngel]

Intensive hair masks (I go through loads), white vests and knickers (I then use them for nightwear when they start to even go slightly grey), books, Converse (bought a pair today so that’ll be 14 pairs now ), cheese, bedding!

[itisalladream]

Good, I'm glad I'm not the only one who buys stuff they don't need!
I was recently on a flight and got asked if I wanted to travel in business class for £400 and I though hey fuck it, why the hell not. Paid it and then felt enormous guilt

[toastfiend]

Tiny, lovely, Scandi or handmade clothes for DS. He grows out of them so fast it's a total extravagance but it brings me genuine pleasure and I try to buy handmade clothes or from brands with decent eco credentials, so it's probably better for the world than my previous ASOS habit.

[Chilledout11]

Acrylic nails

[WonkyDonk87]

It used to be face masks and double deckers... but DH has just been demoted to the tune of £10,000 less a year. Now it'll be the square root of fuck all!

[kiki22]

Real butter

[badguys]

Plants.

[badguys]

I text DH from the garden centre car park to tell him I bought a coffee and a bag of compost, whilst simultaneously loading up four rhododendrons into the boot.

[pheonixrebirth]

Onuga herring roe 😋
It's basically fake caviar. I got some when I did a little party once to make some fancy smoked salmon canapés. It was just so good that I buy a couple of jars and hide them in the veg drawer of the fridge - and when I get a moment to myself I eat it straight out of the jar!

[BearSoFair]

Socks. No one needs as many socks as I have, but if I see a nice pair I just can't resist buying them. I have almost 2 drawers full and I never seem to throw any out!

[Otterses]

Weird house plants.

It's now extended to weird outdoor plants ... DH laments as to why I can't grow 'normal' strawberries or maybe a carrot

[Wheresmrlion]

Beauty products, definitely. Books for my dc, I always think it’s only a fiver. Plants for the garden.

A few times a year I’ll splurge £30 on scratch cards and keep spending the winnings until it’s all gone.

[EssentialHummus]

The garden. I think I could have basically gotten a professional landscaper in for the amount I’ve spent so far, except I’m doing it in £20 increments from b&q, and every other thing dies or gets dug up by foxes.
