I do love me some M&M's & Hershey's. TamaMoo did you try the coconut or pretzel M&M's while you were in Indiana? I did they were both really good

Forgot to mention this. I've had both and they are both very yummy! :D

Sorta splurge on toilet paper. I like the soft stuff.

A bit of both. I try to go as inexpensive as possible, and for most things it is okay. Occasionally I find going cheap just doesn't work and have to get name brand.

Bit of both. These days we go to the States for every vacation, and do some of the touristy stuff in my hometown area including the amusement park, and take day trips to other parts of Indiana and surrounding states, but we save by staying with my mom instead of needing a hotel.

Save.  I never did Christmas cards (grew up Jewish, seems silly to do it even in the UK where most everyone does) and I don't do them now.  Hubby has to do some with work so I get some nice non-religious themed boxed ones at the charity shop.

Anniversary gifts with your spouse / partner.

Our anniversary is Dec 21, so with all the Christmas buying for each other, we usually do something - concert, film or other outing, and get a small gift for each other. I suppose it is splurge for an outing and save with a small gift.

That's a save for me cause that's Dh's family business so I get my video games at cost or sometimes free but the free ones aren't very often though. ;)  :)

Save at the moment because we don't have any pets currently. We had birds and hamsters while in the States, and I miss having the 'little people' around.

Halloween costumes?

Save.  We don't eat much junk at al all.  Just some chocolate once in a while or I'll bake something.  Hubby doesn't eat *any* sweets or junk whatsoever.

Fresh fruits and veggies?
