Splurge. The cooler the features the better.

Medications - over the counter or prescription (brand/generic).

Well the NHS just gives me whatever is generic for scripts and costs me virtually nothing as script charges are low in Scotland and I tend to just buy whatever's on offer for OTC, so save

Since I'm still trying to lose the baby weight- it's save! However.. If I could find a suit that could make me look like Heidi Klum I'd pay what ever they wanted for it.. Splurge!!

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."

Body lotion.

I suppose its save since I haven't bought new ones since 2002- but they were very expensive when I bought them- chaco sandals- they've lasted for ever and ever- I used to wear them near everyday when I lived in Florida and they went up the Great Wall of China.  They are starting to need to be re-soled on the very bottom which Chaco will do, except they won't do it for anyone outside of the US.   :-\\\\

Splurge.  Cheap boots = wet, blistered, sore feet = miserable time.

Waterproof jacket?
