Save.  Don't have one, don't want one.  (We can watch stuff on the laptop.)

Splurge, but it really isn't very expensive and I can make a small amount go a long way.  (I've got *super* sensitive skin and only a few products will not leave me itchy and red.  I'm currently using Faith in Nature brand cream cleanser.)

Body lotion?

I've learned to save. I used to buy the expensive ones, but have found out that Vaseline, Jergens, etc work just as well for me.

Splurge.  A few excellent quality bras beats loads of cheaply made ones.  I used to get bras at Victoria's Secret in the US, now I get them at Debenham's.

Splurge. Have some bad reactions to excessive sun sometimes. Go Neutrogena.

Looks like Chilly and I were typing at the same time. So I'll say save on tights/pantyhose.

Save *and* Splurge.  Save because I don't eat it and hubby eats it only once in a while.  But when he does he prefers it to be local, free range and good quality.
