One thing that tempts you NOT to be frugal?

For me it would have to be Wendy's Spicy Chicken sandwich, which cost $5+ for a combo

Those things are addictive

The 75 cent snacks at work. I try very hard not to purchase these, but I broke down today and had 3 unhealthy snacks!! and spent $2.25 (ouch)

Shoes! and Clothes!

I have been very bad this past month or so.

But not really, this is something I've been planning to do anyways, and got good deals on everything. The bad part is, I'm not done yet. Muahahaha!

Different kinds of tropical fruits they get at work, like the golden pineapples, or the tamariillos, or some other strange exotic thing I'd love to buy. I almost bought the tamarillos, because you can actually grow them from seed, but it was $2.99. I still may buy one, or talk them into giving me one they're throwing away.

The girls in the office always go get coffee from the place in the plaza every morning. Plain coffee is $2, and I can get coffee for free in the back breakroom, so once a month or so, I do get the coffee with them, but normally, I just drink the breakroom stuff.

I'm thinking of splurging on a thing of liquid Coffee Mate (when it's on sale, of course) to keep in the breakroom for my cheapo coffee. It would make me feel less deprived. I figure it will cost me about $6 a month for that, whereas the $2 coffee will cost me $50 a month.

My worst temptation, though, is this chicken salad they have at work with fruits and nuts in it! $6.99 a lb.! I'm gonna learn to make my own.

The hot bar and salad bar at my neighborhood Whole Foods - $7.99/lb. I don't like to cook, and it's far too easy to buy my meals there. I spend way too much every week because of it.
