Save or Splurge?

Splurge. Just threw one out that I always thought of as "new". It was 18 years old...and showing its age.

Purse/handbag, etc.

Save, big time. My personal limit for purses is about $25 but less is good. I've never gotten into the whole Coach, etc rage but I've considered springing for a unique handmade handbag from Etsy occasionally. Never pulled the trigger, though.

Right, duh. New topic. Swimsuits?

Right, duh. New topic. Swimsuits?

Splurge-- I don't buy them often but find cheap ones don't fit me right at at all.

I haven't been following this thread so apologies if I choose a topic already done---

Haircuts

It used to be save as I only got trims once every two years or so (or more!) and my sister did it (she's a stylist with The Hair Cuttery in the US).  In more recent years it's splurge (don't think there is any such thing as an inexpensive hair stylist in the UK anyway!) as I've been getting cuts with long layers put in, etc. a bit more often. 

That reminds me, I'm hating my hair lately and really need to make an appointment.

You're invited to a spring / summer wedding and it seems you have "nothing to wear" so you've decided to get something new.  Save or splurge?

Splurge. I'd get a new dress or splash out for some new shoes, or accessories for an existing dress I have.

books

ahh save and splurge. I'm one for buying books used or getting them from friends as hand me downs. but i'll spend some cash on a limited edition or a special hardback of something thats important to me.

Kitchen knives

Splurge. Good knives are worth it!

Wine

Save. I think you can get some good bottles of expensive wine if you know what to look for.

Holidays?

We can't afford to splurge, so it's save, save, save with a working holiday every year.  Or camping. 

Your significant other's birthday gifts?

That's usually a Splurge he is sooo hard to buy for an when he says he wants something I usually get as soon as possible or start saving up to buy it.   

Nail polish?

Splurge. Seems to last longer and I'm to lazy to change polish frequently.

Jeans?

Splurge. Seems to last longer and I'm to lazy to change polish frequently.

Jeans?

Depends on your definition of save, my jeans normally costa round £40 which is save to me, but I've decided to treat myself to a serious pair of jeans as a treat when I'm at goal weight, maybe some Sass & Bide or a pair by True Religion or MiH, J brand or 7 for all Mankind I think what I'll do is go to a jeans boutique and get fitted for a pair.

Going out for a meal?

Splurge. We don't go out for meals very often so when we do we get what we want and don't pinch pennies.

Phones

Splurge as I keep mine for years.

Nights out ( or in as the case may be)?
