That would have to be shoes for me--If I find a pair I like and that fit well I buy every color. My little hubby and sons don't always understand that.

The only other thing I could think of was if I am going to eat a piece of candy, I am going to get the one I want. You know how it is we change to a better point count and then don't always feel satified with that choice.

Good questiong Tracy--Love, Cinde graemlins/wave.gif

Every Wednesday (weigh in day) I treat myself to a Chinese dinner. I always order the same thing (Three Delicacy Delight Hunan Style with no scallops!) It's 12 points and I arrange my day so I can fit it in. It's my special time every week.

Books. To me a day at the library or a bookstore is the best way to spend a free day I can think of.

Any spa treatment! I love manicures, pedicures, facials, and massages.

And books. I adore books.

Designer shoes and handbags! I shudder to think how much I have spent over the years :eek:

I refuse to buy clothes unless I am absolutely desperate for them, until I reach my goal weight!

I am the Imelda Marcos of running shoes! So, I have to exercise to justify all those Nikes and Reeboks in my collection. graemlins/crazy.gif

Too funny!

My DH actually has a category in our Quicken budget..."Cheryl's indulgences". They are nails, hair, tanning, Lord & Taylor excursions, and the occasional new kitchen gadget.

The biggest? I would have to say the hair/nail/tanning or SPA thing. I love the way it makes me feel!

My indulgences are books. I love books, I love being in bookstores and libraries.

I really don't have any big indulgences, unless I've just become totally spoiled and regard the ones I do have as the norm.

I pretty much try to do whatever it is that pleases me, that I'm curious about, or have always wanted to do.

Can you say totally indulgent - LOL.

Mine would have to be Coach purses. I love them. I've gotten totally spoiled and now feel like I can't carry any other type of purse! smile.gif

I have to agree wholeheartedly with digivixen.
My weakness is Handbags and shoes. I have bags of bags in my closet and DH knows that when i shop, i ALWAYS come home with a new purse. :D

New make-up from Sephora and pedicures...

I stopped getting my nails done, and that used to be my major induglences. Right now it's probably my too-expensive makeup or my way overstocked library (not my fault, I place the blame solely on Ebay).

Mine is Longaberger baskets--I just write the order, give the credit card, then cringe when the bill comes!!!

Books!! But I'm slowly coming to understand that my library card will yield me the same results. ;)

In a perverse way I now enjoy living an enjoyable life while spending as little as possible doing it! One example - I combine coupons with instore specials to try new make up or hair products. I love the new Dove and Fructis and Nivea products, especially when they cost maybe $1.50 each.

My biggest indulgence is travel, and my second is cat supplies. Ben, Charlotte, and Sonya get nothing but premium organic chow!

Mine is make up and beauty products. I have a bathroom that's two thirds taken up with my things. Every time I go out I seem to have bought a new lipstick, eyeshadow, perfume for nail polish.
And earings!!! I love earings!! :D

And Jelly Beans.. I indulge in a few of those every now and then too ;)

My indulgence use to be nails. I would have them done every other week. I stopped doing that.

I went back to WW and I joined the gym. For me the expense of these things make them an indulgence I truly enjoy.
