It can be hard for me to resist spending money on things for my DDs that I find on sale, although I am saving those things for Christmas right now. I have to remind myself of the overall budget and not go overboard

I agree this is my weakness too. I go to the thrift store and look through sale items looking for clothes for dd. I am shame to say that her two closet are full ranging from 2T to 16 yrs old. On the other hand ds doesn't have that much just one closet of clothes with 4T/5T.

health food. I really believe in traditional diet staples like apple cider vinegar, coconut oil, blackstrap molassas, cod liver oil, organic produce, raw milk, etc...it does add up, BUT we have not been sick in over 4 YEARS

Junk food....I am surprised I am not big. McDonald's, coffee drinks, snack foods and such when at Target. I can't seem to kick it. On the weekends eating out. I really feel it's an addiction!

Hands down, it's health & beauty products. I'm a self-professed product junkie.
