With everything going up in price, from $5 for a gallon of milk to $4 for a loaf of bread. When was the last time you just said to yourself, i am going to go out and get something nice just for me?

uuummmmm...currently I only buy myself clothes at Goodwill. Don't remember the last time I got something nice for me. Well, technically I did get something nice for me (new) last valentines day, but it was really more for my hubby than for me. Other than that, I don't know.

Okay that last time I went shopping for myself was summer 2007 at the mall of America. My hubby did let me spend some money. I got new clothes and new tennis shoes (which I needed very badly). And had a great time shopping and getting to know my sister in law better.

Just few days ago, and going to have another time on the next 1 or 2 weeks. Because I only bought something cost me 10buxs, but really nice to me. I think it is going to be the same next week. Somethings that are cheap can still full fill your needs, but this depends on what your interest......

good for you zoneday. you have to treat yourself. even when things are not going the way you like, treating yourself even if it's just 10 is a great thing

I spent $70 on clothes the other day. I bought myself a nice new jacket and a couple of sweaters. They are very cute sweaters and I wore them to work this week.

I spent $37 on a suit jacket to go with several black pants I have for work :) thought I got a good deal considering the original price was $84 :) Since working part time during the holidays I'm able to buy a few things for my son and I and also help my hubby with the bills :) feel really good too!

Last month, I have bought 2 pairs of heels for myself. I really miss wearing them as I need to go for flat shoes during the pregnancy. There are also wedding dinners for me to attend and I just need to get myself heels to match with my dress. I am really happy with the purchase. Another pair is for working purpose. :)

hhmmm...now that i think about it, a REALLY LONG TIME! lol =[ i think any money i spend is to help out my family; i don't really think about stuff for me too much since i really don't care what i'm wearing, driving, etc. maybe one day, after all this inflation and stuff is over...

I know what you mean everything is going up extremely when it comes to food and it is getting harder and harder to afford food,and gas prices are also fluctuating very badly,and people are getting layed off all over the place because the economy is in a pretty bad shape,and the last time me and my fiance bought something for us,was a couple months ago when we saved up,and ordered a Halo 3 Edition X-box 360 from WalMart.com which was something I really really wanted,and I am so happy that we got it,and one day we are going to save up and get an Nintendo Wii which is what my fiance wants,because right now we have a Nintendo GameCube that she plays,and we also have an Nintendo 64,and an original X-box which it is only staying around until we can get a hard drive for the 360 so we can play the X-box games on the 360,and we also need to get an X-box memory card so we can move the save files from the X-box to the 360.

Hey momma! Your are so right! It is ridiculous the prices of milk and bread alone! Milk and gas in NY are almost the same price! Now that is an outrageous crime! The prices on meat are outrageous too! It is almost $5 a pound for chopped meat which is supposed to be the cheapest cut of beef? How does anyone expect us to live with these prices? It has gotten so out of hand! I hate going to the grocery store and I don't have any kids. I don't know what I would do if I did! I know what I spend per month for me and my boyfriend. I make him go with me to show him the prices because he doesn't believe me when I tell him how much everything costs! It's insane! And I work from a budget! I don't really get to buy myself something nice anymore because I'm not working right now. I am temporarily disabled so I have to watch every penny that I spend because I really am on a fixed income. It is very stressful to live like this.
