'Sorta' splurge. We don't go anywhere wildly expensive, but we don't go as cheap as possible either, since we don't go out often.

Booking a hotel.

Splurge to an extent. I wouldn't go too crazy with price because I don't cook gourmet meals enough to get the use out of them, but I do like having good quality, durable ones.

Splurge. I tend to buy the organic, whole-grain non-sugary nonsense that costs like $4 for a fairly small box.
