Save or Splurge?

I suppose splurge, since half our weekly shop is fresh fruits and veggies.

Magazines?

Magazines?

Save.  I only get the odd magazine once in a while.

Books?

Save. I left all my books in America and have converted to Kindle-ism (for practical reasons, although I still love the "real" books). Nearly every book on it is from the free collections available online.

Salon visits?

Salon visits?

It used to be save as I had waist-length to butt-length hair and every couple of years my sister would trim it for me.

Now it's splurge as I get it professionally colored every three months (should be more though!) and cut maybe twice a year or so (it's not crazy-long anymore).

Kitchen stuff (pots, pans, small appliances, gadgets, etc)?

In the States it was a bit of a splurge. I was a Pampered Chef fanatic and had loads and loads of it, plus I loved all the fun small appliances that made life easier. I haven't had the same buying spree over here yet, but I am working on getting my Pampered Chef stuff over a bit at a time with each visit home.

Lotions/body care things.

That's a splurge I love my Bath & Body Works stuff so whenever Dh I go home I seriously load up on the stuff while were home.  

Laundry soap?

I would say save since I buy in bulk at Costco

Photography session (taken by professionals)?

Save. With digital cameras there are generally people around who can take quality pics for less than a professional would charge.

Travel insurance

Save. Never get it.

Tea.

Save. Never get it.

Tea.

Save and Splurge.  For peppermint tea, the store brand is fine.  For red bush and 'normal' tea, I like to get a brand name as it's just so much better in quality and taste.  We prefer Yorkshire Tea for our 'normal' tea, but I forget which brand we currently have of red bush.

Eggs

Save. I generally get the cheaper ones because they all taste the same.

Dinnerware

Save. I generally get the cheaper ones because they all taste the same.

Dinnerware

Save.  We used hubby's old plates for ages until a few of them broke.  We finally replaced them with a set of plain white ones with matching bowls from IKEA.

Furniture

Always buy the best you can afford.

Socks?

Splurge. I have a few pairs of black, a few of white, a few solid colored ones of other colors, but the rest are all character socks or a design of some kind. I have over 100 pairs of socs and I think of it as a wearable collection.

Concerts

Save for smaller shows and splurge for one I really want to see
