We're all materialistic swines here, yes

I don't have money, I have children instead.

I have to say I'm really good at making budgets and economize, so given the time (and health of course) I can save up for fun things.

What are you talkin' about? You don't need money to spooge on anything!

Eww.

I recently bought my first cigarette rolling kit: a pouch of tobacco, some filters, and paper. It's much cheaper than packs, and has an authentic taste reminiscent of cigars. Rolling's a bitch though, first couple times out.

New camera: Canon G11
New car stereo: doesn't matter what it was, the old one was hosed
New shirts, and lots of them: hey, the washer was broke.
New phone: iPhone babyee!
New GPS: Garmin. Had a big road trip. It did it's job well.

I just bought the whole series of "Farscape" for my mom, who really likes the series. It came out around $100, so when it dropped to around $50, I grabbed it fo her. I'm a good daughter, aren't I?!

Maquisard · 11-27-2009, 06:36 PM

And you have a cool mom!

tsa · 11-27-2009, 07:25 PM

Yeah, my mom would think I'd gone nutty when I'd come up with that. But then, your mom is probably about my age, and I can almost enjoy Farscape

A copy of WinDVD 9 Plus Blu-Ray, since PowerDVD 7.3 doesn't work in Windows 7 properly, and I need software that can handle HD DVDs as well as Blu-Rays...

Jazhara7 · 11-28-2009, 12:27 PM

Got myself a 1 Terrabyte external drive by Seagate.

Brilliant!

SoccerDude28 · 12-01-2009, 09:01 AM

I just bought a 46 inch Samsung LED 8500 series

When I asked the sales representative to describe the TV for me, he said and I am paraphrasing: "This here is the king of all the TVs we have." Uncharted 2 has never looked this good.

tsa · 12-01-2009, 10:03 AM

Oooh nice one! When my TV breaks down I want something like that!

Jazhara7 · 12-13-2009, 10:41 AM

Just got myself the game "Prototype" and an Xbox360 controller for my PC.

That game rocks.

Splurge is relative. How have you splurged for you?
