I carry my own pen so I have a nice one. I even have one in a marble case, but I rescued it from a display that was going to be tossed.

It doesn't matter as long as they are vegetarian and egg-free.  There's only one brand I've found that is and it's probably cheap compared to real quality meat sausages, so I'll save save.

Oops cross-posted with pb, so I'll answer that one, too...

I only use tinned tomatoes and beans / legumes.  And now Morissons has an organic line of tinned beans and the tomatoes I use are Morissons as well, so Save.

Flour for baking.

Save! Primark is amazing!

Music- buying albums vs buying single songs on itunes

We stole countries with the cunning use of flags. Just sail around the world and stick a flag in. "I claim India for Britain!" They're going "You can't claim us, we live here! Five hundred million of us!" "Do you have a flag …? "What? We don't need a flag, this is our home, you bastards" "No flag, No Country, You can't have one! Those are the rules... that I just made up!...and I'm backing it up with this gun, that was lent to me from the National Rifle Association."

Splurge.  I buy music rarely, but when I do it's by an artist I really like and I want the whole CD not just a song here and there.

Cross-posted again!  This is a popular game!

Hardly ever go to the movies, so I'll splurge on popcorn if I really want it (as opposed to smuggling in my own treats from home).

Splurge! I like to think my hair is my best feature. It at least doesn't change when my weight does!

Drinks- top shelf or bargain booze!
