Save. I try to buy books used/borrow from the library and usually re-sell any books I do buy on amazon or powells.com. I keep books I particularly like or might reread. When I have a public transit commute, I subscribe to The Economist, which is basically the only magazine I read so splurge on that front.

Oops, that's what I get for posting pre-coffee.

Save, I guess, because I buy the recycled stuff and that's usually among the cheapest.

Handbags?

Splurge, I love squash (the veggie) and I think at £1 each that's expensive, but that's how much they are right now at Morissons.

Fruits and veggies in general.

Most of the time save every now & then we splurge on different fruits. I usually have the same type of apples Gala unless Pink Ladies or Red Delicious are on offer. ;)  :)

Rent movies or actually going to the movies?
