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?

Vair vair expensive candles. Most of my personal wealth is held in candles.

And takeaway coffee 😁

Those giant glenisk yoghurts or smoothie from a smoothie shop or kids socks!!

Oh god and e-books that cosy under 1.99from Amazon!!

I bought a stuffed crocodile at the aquarium gift shop
I buy merch at concerts
Mugs

I am a sucker for nice things for my house

*Uber’s

I get a fucking ridiculous amount of Uber’s, every month I promise myself I’m going to stop and I never do! I just hate the journey home...and to work...

Am currently in an Uber writing this so this months ban is going great!*

Back when I was in college I used to get sneaky taxis evdrywhere- god I was rich back then!!!!

Take away coffee
Candles
Beauty products although I do eventually use them I just have way too much at the moment.

Skin. My own, I’ve not managed to persuade anyone to let me buy theirs.

Wine.

Badedas. Love it soooo much. Takes me right back to the 80s

Paintings for me too. It used to be prints. Just bought my second one that might be considered 'collectable' and I am slightly in awe of it.

Lipstick 💄
Linen bedding
Birkenstocks

Wine
Expensive gin
Food
Furniture

Cleanhouse- I love art, what’s the one you love the most right now?

I need some inspiration!

Books for the kids. I actually get embarrassed handing over £40 at the till at Waterstones as it feels outrageous.

For me - nothing. I am very low maintenance!!

Takeaway coffees! Phew I thought of something

For those that spend money on candles ... do u actually burn them or just look at them ?
Chocolate
Sweets
Wine
Eating out

I get that it's lighthearted and all, but am slightly irked by for many women it's nice shoes or a handbag. Haven't we grown out of that kind of stereotyping?

Anyway, for me, takeaways. Except it's not a waste because I enjoy them. Couldn't give a toss about handbags.

Coffee shop coffees, mugs, craft stuff for our overfull art cupboard (glitter, pipe cleaners,stickers, stamps)

JesusintheCabbageVan, you don't give a toss about handbags and that's ok. Just as it's ok that some people do like them. Why does that have to be stereotyping?! 😳

Crisps/ sweets

Jesusinacabbagevan Surely its not stereotyping if they're actually buying it for themselves?

Beautiful white towels from The White Company and more money than I will ever admit to anyone on family sized bags of kettle chips!

Coffee shop coffee and cake. It's more about taking a break, really.

I could join a gym for about £40 a month but instead I take semi-personal training sessions and belong to a boutique yoga studio at a total cost of around £200 a month.

My DH knows what I spend but I would never tell anyone else as it seems a bit obscene.

I also have no interest in makeup and handbags and what have you, but I love ‘keeping fit’ and justify it (to myself) as an investment in my health and future.
