Save or Splurge?

Definitely save--just use the library.  I rarely buy books anymore unless it's something I want to keep for life and / or use as a reference.

Agreed.

Coffee

Splurge. That being said, I cannot find ground coffee that tastes like my good old Folgers in the US. I don't know what it is.... I follow the instructions and I don't use boiling water.... it just tastes so bitter. My splurge is Douwe Egberts instant :-P

Cookware.

Splurge. I want something that will last. Although I have some Ikea pots and pans because, they haven't stood the test of time and are looking worse for wear. My Le Creuset? Look as new as the day they were brought home. I'm slowly repopulating my cookware collection with newer, hardier and sadly more expensive items.

Computers.

Buying a new computer is always a splurge, but a necessary one.  Thankfully it doesn't need to be done very often.  That being said hubby and I both have Acer laptops which is a good, dependable computer definitely not as expensive as a Mac.

Peanut butter

Save... i really like the 69p generic Sainsbury's one.  Just bought a jar today!

New Years Eve.

I can't remember ever splurging on NYE except possibly driving up to Scotland two years ago which could be considered a splurge on petrol.

Mother's Day gifts

Sorta save. I'd rather get a small gift for her and then do something to create a memory, which I suppose could be considered a gift, whatever the activity is.

Rain gear

Save--I've managed to get a Decathalon rain jacket for a 13 year old girl, and kids clothing is a lot cheaper than adult.

Easter Eggs?

Ha ha!  Save.  I'm sure I won't be needing any.

Stuff for the garden.

Well it's a bit of both.. Depends what I need for the garden. But if I had my own (at the moment I live in a condo with a patio) I would save on tools and splurge on my favorite flowers

Shoes

Inside I am saying Splurge! 

But really, I save. I am incapable of spending heaps of money on shoes. I think the most I've ever spent is maybe £100. My favorite pair of heels that I wear to death at the moment I bought for £12 at Next in the post holiday sales. But oh, my country for some Louboutins!

Gifts for a 2 year old niece or nephew?

I splurged, because they were all so darn cute at that age. The practical side of me knew they had way too many toys, way too many clothes, and weren't old enough to remember much of anything from that age, but I just couldn't help myself.

Wall art and/or decor.

save..we live in an apartment.. things are so  temporary it seems,,


Maternity clothes

Definitely save as I've never needed them!

Eyeglasses.

Save, by going to a place that has a 'free' exam and buy one pair, get one free. You actually pay for the exam, but then the price of it is deducted from your bill. I turn my second pair into sunglasses and only pay the price of tinting.

Food storage containers.

Save.  DH periodically picks up orphans from work.    But we I do splurge on some nice Pyrex bowls for mixing whilst baking and storing leftovers in the fridge (only plastic goes to work).
