Now, I don't know if you've heard the term used this way or not, but we always talk about our "Candy Store" as something that we just LOVE to spend money on. For me, it's probably a tie between computers and gambling. For my husband it's guns - he's a hunter. So, what is it that you absolutely LOVE to spend money on, what's your "Candy Store"?

Hey reiny! I don't know! I just love to spend money! I don't think I have a favorite "candy store". I was trying to think of something specific and I can't! I like to buy "things"! I sometimes buy clothes on sale, or shoes on sale, or stuff on sale. I know things of sale! That's my "candy store"! I like to shop for anything on sale! I don't know! I'm not working and lately everything that I buy is something for my apartment. I am trying so hard to buy things to fix it up and give it a facelift. After 28 years and cleaning it out and throwing stuff out and having my bf bugging me to fix it up that's what I have been doing. Today I bought myself a new jacket. That was my birthday gift from the money my Mom sent me. I also bought a computer desk which was much needed from the money that I have been saving that my bf gives me towards the apartment. So I really don't have much money to just "play" with!

I am a bargain hunter. I find it extremely difficult to pass up a good bargain. My problem is where to store these bargains once they are purchased.

At this point, I do not think I have a CANDY STORE, I do not enjoy spending money in any particular place. I used to do houseplants, or craft items a lot. I have seen however, that I neglect the plants, and do not do the crafting, so I am not buying much anymore.

My candy store is a craft store one that has needle working items in it. Cross stitching items and Knitting and crocheting.I could spend all day and night. My older sister is a sewing store or fabric store. My twin is a beading store. We are all very creative people.

That's cool! I can spend a fortune on yarn. I have tons of it around waiting for me to make something with it...

You will not believe this but I went this site Everything Cross stitch.com I ordered some thread and more patterns. When I do cross stitching anymore I have been making my own pictures. I take patterns from several books and putting them together. I have a Serenity prayer I am almost finished with. I want to put some little flowers on it and was going through some pattern books at little flowers to add to the picture. The boarder I took from another book. I will be starting on Christmas decorations next. I am looking forward to that.

Besides buying things for my family I would have to say for me personally it would be games. I like video games plus there is a site online where I can get the hidden object games to play on the computer. I love those games, then of course there is my pogo.

I love games too! I used to buy all the latest Nintendos and play all the games. It's a good thing I had kids so that people didn't think I was weird!!!

Oh gosh, I am very cheap so I don't spend money often, but I do have a few shops online that I am drooling over as I think about them haha, but I have to hold back from them so I can save my money. I love to spend my money on Urban Outfitters, they have great clothing, I like to buy from this online store on Ebay for my favorite shirts (and other knick knacks) at discount prices, and I like to spend my money on Orbitz because I love to travel. Recently though I have shopped from all of these places since I will be going to Sweden for a month in December, and Spain also for a few days out of that month, so I want to to have some nice new clothes to wear since all of mine were a bit old, going to Europe is worth spending extra money on myself because I never treat myself to the fruits of my labor, it will be really really nice. Happy mylotting and have a great day!
