Everyone has their things. I'm not thinking like tv shows and such but more what you spend your money on.
For me? It's fancy "girly" things
I am slowly building my fragrance wardrobe and have spend quite a bit at this amazing perfumerie in my city. People think I'm crazy but I love having expensive rare perfumes to cycle through. the bottles look pretty and I am always being told how good I smell. Loves it.
I have a friend whose bike costs more than their car. To me that is craziness! Haha
What's your thing?

I don't do nail stuff or fancy handbags though. Those seem like a collossal waste of money to me. LOL
Recently, blush.
Formerly, lipstick.
Perpetually: rescue dogs.
Dogs and nature abhor a vacuum.

Shoes--not too expensive ones. Just more than I need!
Sushi
Going out to eat/drink
These are all things I KNOW I don't really need and could save money on, but I do it anyway, and too often!

Highly porous. Color over grey.
I love all the Curl Junkie products. Still experimenting with gels and curl creams. Still hoping for 2nd day hair....
Every day is a gift :flower:
I do spend a good bit on nice food and wine.
Lately, I've been coveting new running shoes and running clothes. I just retired a pair of shoes, and I have another pair with over 400 miles on them which will probably be dead in about a month, so I kind of have an excuse to buy some right now and I'm chomping at the bit. AND some of my clothes starting to look pretty disgusting (yeah, I'm quite the fashion plate at the gym 8-)) so I have an excuse to buy some clothes too. Now if only I had an excuse to buy them at Lululemon....damn their cuteness and their exorbitant prices.
The running stuff addiction helps to combat most of the negative aspects of food and wine
handbags
perfume
jewelry
food
cabs

I buy things for my vehicles when I first get them. When I got the truck last year I got running boards, grille guard, seat covers, etc. I redecorated almost every room in the house last year so I bought loads of furniture and art work and such. This year I haven't had to buy any big items.

Clothes (only wardrobe staples)

books (only if I can't find it at my local library)
Going out for drinks/food
Electronic gadgets but not often
Sweaters...particularly those with buttons.
Food...I need good quality food.
Makeup, but I haven't found anything I'm completely thrilled about.
Knee high boots (expensive ones)
Hair products
- Clothes for my little girl. She has way too many clothes but I can't stop buying. Everytime I see something cute I just have to buy it

Can you tell I am trying to spread my stuff out so I do not have a freaking laundry list of guilty pleasure spending.

I could take transit, but the bus system here is pathetic.
Safeway and Tall Grass Prairie Bakery
I could shop more often at SuperStore, but I'd have to go at 7am (earlier on weekends). I may have to start grocery shopping at Walmart (shudder).
Electronics
Laptop, desktop, 2 tablets all purchased within 12 months. Except for getting a new cell phone, I think I'm okay for the next couple years.
Manicures/pedicures
Once I find the right salon, I'll be doing these monthly.
Storage containers
I've been inspired by organization gurus on Youtube to declutter and organize.
Though some people would probably say my groceries and toiletries. I am very particular about ingredients in foods I buy, if it's not a fresh unprocessed item though the bulk of my groceries are not processed and organic or farm fresh. I also read all ingredients in my toiletries and don't buy typical drugstore brands because I don't want those ingredients on my body (teeth, hair, skin, etc).
I do have a lot of purses, but I don't buy them so often anymore.
I buy clothes for myself occasionally, but I keep things for 10+ years as long as their in good shape.
I probably spend most money on toiletries and makeup. Hair treatments, face stuff, eye cream, makeup, and I get my nails done.
And I buy a lot of books.

I was expecting to read stuff like: cocaine, male prostitutes, Cuban cigars, vitamins made from ground up Chinese babies, the high roller table at the Sands, etc
There. I admitted it. You beat me down SL!!
