Poll: Purchases

miguelhilary2010 · April 2011

What is the most expensive thing you've bought for yourself? Cars, house, vacations are excluded.

**What is the ITEM, we don't need to know the $ amount it cost.**

RecoveringActor · April 2011

Does wedding dress count? Because that's the most money I've ever spent on a singular item.

Second is my PS3. hahaha.

ButtonsPepper · April 2011

Probably a coat.

amy727 · April 2011

My flat screen TV 3 years ago.... when they were much more expensive.

RecoveringActor · April 2011

Actually, my fancy red couch might have been more than my PS3. But I bought it with a gift card from my dad as a housewarming/Christmas/birthday gift, so I don't know if that counts.

mana8503 · April 2011

Couch, I splurged since I got a free dinning room set so I just combined my budget for the couch. It's a big sectional...

miguelhilary2010 · April 2011

I had my great-gma's ring re-set before my wedding. I think purchasing a new band and getting the diamond re-set is probably my most expensive purchase.

I thought of this poll looking at above mentioned ring while washing my hands in the bathroom

See, I think about TK in the bathroom... that is a problem!

nicole8586 · April 2011

Probably electronics?

I think I want to buy myself a black pair of Christian Louboutins for my 30th. This gives me 5 years to save! haha

ButtonsPepper · April 2011

I didn't even think about house stuff, I just assumed clothing/accessory wise. Our TV, and home furnishings cost a lot more... and those are my biggest purchases.

caraellen23 · April 2011

My sofa. It was my first grown up purchase and I love it. :-)

rachelk456 · April 2011

I think a coat and a watch are tied.

paprika28 · April 2011

Hmm... I'd say probably (in order) my laptop, wedding dress, cricut, (holy expensive for how little I use it now...) iphone (shoulda waited till it was time to renew).

rachelk456 · April 2011

Did you mean independently purchased? I think FI bought all of our furniture, but there might be some things that we both put money towards.

jackiebean26 · April 2011

christian louboutin's

ETA: nicole, i didnt read your post before... DO IT!! lol

Amerbutt81 · April 2011

My sofa and chair set. I saved for that for MONTHS.

I'l be so sad to see it go.

nicole8586 · April 2011

jackie - I think I am! lol

We still have all hand me down furniture. We have been talking about new furniture and I can not wait! That will probably top my list once the time comes.

Cackle6 · April 2011

My Shure wireless microphone. It was really more than I should have been spending at the time, but totally worth it. It's definitely paid for itself over the past 5 years that I've been singing in the band.

Second to that is probably our dog Ezra. We got him from a breeder and since he was my first puppy ever I spent a little more than I should. I felt bad for not rescuing, but when we were looking there were really no small breed puppies up for adoption in our area. Our second dog was a rescue though, so it offsets it a little, heh.

QTsgirl522 · April 2011

we just remodeled our kitchen. By far the most money I've spent ever! I want to buy a pool table for DH's 30th in November. That will be up there.

miguelhilary2010 · April 2011

I meant purchases FOR YOU. Whether that's something to wear, or something that you wanted for your home doesn't matter.

Buying furniture or something and spending lots of $ because you HAD TO doesn't count.

I hope that clarifies.

dibsontop · April 2011

Excluding furniture and whatnot for the house, the most expensive thing I've ever purchased for myself was probably a laptop I bought many, many years ago. And I bought it, just because I wanted it

jelybeancg · April 2011

My Phillies season tickets every year. Oh, and a FURLA bag when I was in Rome.

RecoveringActor · April 2011

I was THIS CLOSE to buying the most expensive whiskey ever. It's 131 euro...which is ridonkulous. But I couldn't justify actually buying it, other than to get my name written in the fancy book at the Jameson Distillery. They have all the bottles numbered.

mana8503 · April 2011

Ok, if furniture doesn't count, then Laptop.

[Deleted User] · April 2011

Lap top I think, it's a mac.

ev4149 · April 2011

Definitely my laptop. (Another Mac user here).

Other than that, my wedding dress, and also a diamond necklace. I had my grandmother's engagement ring turned into a necklace, and added a diamond from my mother (she lost one earring, but had the other), and I purchased a diamond for me. So the necklace has a diamond from each of the three generations in my family. That was EXPENSIVE, but I don't care. I love it and will wear it on my wedding day.

mana8503 · April 2011

Ev - That is such a cute story about the necklace, and something that can be passed down. LOVE IT!

Amerbutt81 · April 2011

If furniture doesn't count then....

um.....

I paid close to $300 to get my hair dyed once. Can that count?

ysl1983 · April 2011

my first designer handbag which was a taupe colored YSL Muse

RecoveringActor · April 2011

Holy crap, Amer. Did they highlight it with unicorn blood and gold???

This is why I just dye it one color (ahem, I'm sorry... COLOR it one color. I always get yelled at for saying dye) and call it a day.

LaRositaMonita · April 2011

Confession: I have never dyed my hair. Especially at a place where it would have cost $300

This summer' vacation will probably be up there in terms of frivolous spending we don't need to do. On the agenda are eating out at a number of Disney World signature restaurants, massages on board the cruise ship, and dinner at Remy, their new signature restaurant that's a $75 upcharge per person plus an additional $99 pp if you want wine pairings (individual glasses will run you maybe $20 a piece...). Cannot wait

I am already plotting to spend more frivolous money next summer an an Alaskan cruise, too.

ButtonsPepper · April 2011

Then laptop. Also a mac user.
