what's your budget weakness?

[abmitch01]

mine is buying purses. I get them on sale but I have way more than I will ever need. I do enjoy them but I have to restrain myself from buying more. I bought two bags for Disney that I probably could've made do without

Ours is definitely going out to eat. My New Year's resolution *last year* was to not go out to eat as much. We have good weeks and bad weeks. Some weeks we don't eat out at all and some weeks we'll eat out three or four times. For us, a lot is our work schedules and kids' activities that dictate when we eat at home vs. eating out. Since we are in summer now and I have more "free" time (I'm a teacher) we are eating at home a lot more.

Online shopping, it is to easy to press that purchase button. I am on a no clothes buy for a year, but I broke it a few times. I have to many capri's.

Getting iced coffee several times a week, I can never resist, sure it seems like only a few dollars but it really adds up

1. Quilting fabric and craft supplies
2. craft beers
3. going out to eat

Fresh produce. And I can even justify that it is healthy, but it isn't good for the budget when the fridge is over pouring with fruit that isn't on sale. I see that watermelon, strawberries or blueberries and in the cart they come--in December!

For me it's anything clearance...marked down food, socks, cat litter bags with a hole, end of season clothes, basically anything I can find on clearance that we "might" one day need. (I can go a bit overboard, 8 boxes of cereal, 7 jars of jelly, that kind of thing)

For me it's books. I love to read and I don't like to wait so I end up buying for kindle or buying from Amazon.

Eating out and Starbucks. Not so bad when it's one person but 6 people kill the budget every time.
And it's to easy to use my starbucks app to pay the bill.

clothes in general, but I way over buy for the kids. Eating out would be a close second

Eating out and Amazon...

Grocery shopping. I love it! I love to cook and bake so I am always there! Also gas. We live 15 miles from the closest larger supermarkets, 45 mins away from my good friend, and 2 hours from my parents. Yeah I have had months when my gas bill was in the $200s!

1- eating out. i hate to cook, my DH who loves to cook is away for work a lot during summer and when he's home, he's not in a cooking mood. it's just easier to go out. 2 - Doves dark chocolate candy bar. love it!! 3 - Disney World vacations

Eating out is our budget buster. If we can limit it to two times a month that would be acceptable.

 

[melissakrichards]

Eating out! Especially when we spend the day at Disney!

 

[abmitch01]

eating out used to be a problem but then we bought a house with my parents because my mom is sick. My dad loves to cook and I clean up so it works out well.

my daily splurge is a drive thru large diet coke. I even have a soda stream and i still buy it. I go through spurts where I'm good with the soda stream but not often enough

Disney is a huge budget buster but I keep telling myself the kids will be in college soon and not want to go

 

[eliza61]

LOL, I don't consider eating out a budget buster mainly because I'm the only one who cooks in my family so I absolutely refuse to do it 7 days a week. so to keep mama happy we better plan a night off for me.

Mine is traveling. I love it. beginning of every year I start out with 4 or 5 vacations I'd love to take then reality hits.

Next year I'm trying to swing Greece and wdw.
