I do not shop anything but groceries and meds.

Things change with age. I used to buy material to sew nice clothes for me. I had then youth and a nice body. And I could have beautiful dresses for a small amount of money as I knew how to sew.
Now sewing at home is not worth the work. There are inexpensive garments for everyone.
And as I am not as young as I used to be, I buy something only once in a while that lasts me for ages.
But I spend more that what I should in groceries ( I like to eat well and I like to invite friends for dinner) and last but not least, in meds.
In my country, health insurances don´t give any meds, except if you are hospitalized. So, all expensive meds that you must take until the day you die, must be bought 
Still, I am lucky to be able to have a luxury in my life. I go for vacations.
Do you have a luxury? What is ti?

I am a sort of food hoarder. I have to have enough all the time.

@marguicha Window shopping can definitely be fun once in a while.

@dodo19 I used to do it more often when I could walk with no pain.

I could have written that same thing,, although I don't take many vacations. When I do, I try to save money but I often spend more than I intend. Food is my luxury, I think! I eat a lot of organic food for health reasons and I like good chocolate.
My insurance covers most of my medicines and they only cost 3 to 5 dollars a prescription, so that's not a problem.

Vacations are not very expensive for me as I have a timeshare in Aruba. I bought it around 25 years ago and it is awesome.

I'm like you and I believe I shop very frugally. So, if I want a treat, I buy it. Occasionally, I'll buy myself Lindt chocolates but it's never anything big. I bought myself two summer dresses yesterday but saved 70% because they were on sale.

I only shop for what is needed. Even in our country insurance mainly covers hospitalization and major treatment. It doesn't cover medicines.

@arunima25 Yes, it is. I will give Leticia some meds she has to buy for Christmas. It is a shame that I cannot buy a small luxury this year. But she needs meds more.

@marguicha Makes it tough for people like us who have to have regular medicine and some of them are costly.

When I was young, buying the dresses I liked was a lot more expensive thn to make them.

Really no luxuries. Even my traveling is done on the cheap.

When I was able to travel, it was vacations. Now I use the money I earn online, etc. to go out to eat once or twice a month...that's my little luxury.

I only eat out when I´m invited. I repay by inviting for dinner at home.
