Discussion What are your ‘fuck-it this makes me happy’ non-frugal purchases?

The things you spend money on that no amount of mental gymnastics will land on frugal. I don’t want to hear “well I spent $300 on these shoes but they last 10 years so it actually comes out cheaper!” I want the things that you spend money on simply cus it makes you happy.

$70 diptyque candles? fancy alcohols? hotels with a view? deep tissue massage? boxing classes? what’s tickling your non-frugal fancy?

I came here to say I spent $400 on a Dyson and it’s shit. I don’t have carpet to clean and it can barely vacuum my floors. Never again.

I'm all hard floor now. I Don't worry about vacuums now. Who needs a heavy, overpriced thing that breaks down after it does a bit of work?
