Not talking about gifts you bought for others or gifts purchased for you by others...I'm meaning things you purchased for yourself.

What's the most you've ever spent on yourself on:

1) A piece of furniture
2) A meal at a restaurant
3) A jacket/coat
4) A piece of art or print
5) A pair of shoes

1) $2000 for a leather lounge suite
2) $60?
3) $120
4) $0 all the art here is homemade
5) $149
6) $20
7) $6000 42" plasmas were that much back in the early days

(estimated, in AUS$)

I didn't see your totals.

1) A piece of furniture~ 1,100.00 for a couch
2) A meal at a restaurant~ 30.00 (For 2 drinks and a side salad at The jazz Kitchen at Downtown Disney )
3) A jacket/coat~ 400.00
4) A piece of art or print
5) A pair of shoes~ 200.00 and will never do that again

Now those plasmas are 2000huh?

1) A piece of furniture - $200 for a used futon/dark wood futon frame.

2) A meal at a restaurant - ugh, i spent over $100 for a birthday dinner at a totally pretentious restaurant in chicago because the person i was seeing at the time just HAD to eat there on his birthday. this was the kind of place that had IV bags on the wall as DECORATION, and they bring you a plate of cotton candy when they bring you the check. what the hell kind of crack den gives you cotton candy with your damn check?!? anyway, i kissed $100 goodbye that night, and there were just two of us on the bill. if it was a good dinner, a nice place, or someone i were still seeing, i guess it might have been worth it.

3) A jacket/coat - i think i spent close to $200 on my most recent winter coat, and i spent $125ish on a sports jacket not long ago.

4) A piece of art or print - people have always given me art, so i've barely ever bought anything. i did buy a pair of little paintings for my best friend and her fiancee for christmas, and that came to about $150.

5) A pair of shoes - around $50. i'm sooooper cheap about shoes. i can usually find good deals.

6) A piece of jewelry - $0. i don't wear jewelry.

7) A television - i've had the same TV for 12 years and it was a christmas present from my mom. i don't think i've ever bought a TV in my life.

or less

I guess my couch, it was about $800 or so I think. I forget how much my bed was. Actually my mattress was $1100


Just for my portion (not the total meal) I'm guessing $60-80 @ the most, & those are on rare occasions...


less than $400...


less than $200 BUT there's a piece I'm waiting to get that's out of print now, the lowest I've seen it for is damn near $800 I'm gonna be SO depressed after that purchase but I have to have it someday


as much as I love shoes, less than $300. Actually probably less than $200 really - I've tried pairs that were over $200 (ordered them) but sent them back b/c they didn't work. I was willing to spend it but didn't. There's not a pair in my closet that's over $200 I don't believe...


not into jewelery, I mostly just wear earrings. So less than $100 easily...


about $300 I haven't bought a new set in YEARS. I want one of those cute/flat/big shits but I can't bring myself to spend like that just yet. I don't know how people do it, keeping up w/ the trends & all Until my old piece of shit dies there will be no flat screen up in hea

I'm hella cheap, but I'd rather have something saved than the latest shit

You should have had a concert ticket catagory...

1) A piece of furniture $200 for a futon. I haven't had a chance to get really nice furniture. I'm thinking about it with my tax money.

2) A meal at a restaurant $25 at a Japanese restaurant. Well worth it.

3) A jacket/coat $300. A black leather winter coat that I wore for a little over a year. It was not flattering on me at all. I still have it. I might break it out.

4) A piece of art or print $90 on a big print of a leopard. I got it through Home Interiors. Is that still considered art?

5) A pair of shoes $60 for a pair of Jessica Simpson pastel plaid platforms which I have yet to wear. They're not comfortable at all.

6) A piece of jewelry $300 for a aquamarine ring

7) A television $150 for a 25 inch tv that was the floor model. I've had it for 8 years now with no problems.

I'm kind of a cheap ass.

What's the most you've ever spent on yourself on:

1) A piece of furniture -- My gargantuan sleeper sofa cost more than $1,000, I'm sure. Don't recall how much. It was THAT long ago...
2) A meal at a restaurant -- I spent about $80-somethin' for a nice steak dinner for myself on New Year's Eve.
3) A jacket/coat -- I doubt I've paid more than $100 for most of my coats. I shop and catch sales...
4) A piece of art or print -- I spent about $80 on a nice piece of art and an exquisite frame.
5) A pair of shoes -- no fair. I'd felt so good.... $100 or so, I'm sure.
6) A piece of jewelry -- eBay specials don't usually run more than $10. and, I rarely do jewelry, to begin with.
7) A television -- I've never bought a TV. I might before the year's over, though.

I said for yourself, not for your kids lol...

Byron said:

i guess the idea is that you're so confused by being given a plate of cotton candy that you don't bother to get upset about how outrageous the bill is.
