Oh my, well here goes.
My dh freaks out if the AC is above 70. I buy WAY WAY WAY too much for my dd's (though this has stopped since we moved). I LOVE to sew so I spend WAY to to to much on fabric, patterns, ribbion (hairbows) and all things that go with that. We eat out at least once every two weeks and I ALWAYS feel guilty about that.
I'm sure I could go on and on I really thought about it. But I don't want to think about it any more.

I am soooooooooo guilty of this. Last time gymbucks were handed out I had $75.00 worth, I left the gmbucks in the bag with the clothes and they expired, I mean that was &75.00 down the drain!

I have to have my diet pop. I don't like the taste of store brand or generic. I prefer Diet Coke but if it isn't on sale and Pepsi is ... I will do Diet Pepsi. How much more money would we have if I just didn't have to have it!!!  My dh calls it my addiction....

I buy bottled water, ROFL. I just CAN"T drink water from the tap, its a huge hang up. but it tates horrible! I use it for everthing else, but I just can't drink it. Last time dh took my gallon jug of water when it was empty and filled it with water from the tap. I could totally tell the diffrence. I pitched the whole thing and went down to walmart to buy more. Plus I love the flavored waters, So I usually buy a 6 pack of those. LOL I buy coffee creamer too, instead of just using sugar and milk. I love my coffee mate! LOL
I also spend way to much on ribbon for hair bows and half the time, my kids won't even wear them. LOL The would rather wear headbands. LOL  But they have too many clothes cuz i love to shop for them, and I love to match them with hairbows. LOL I will admit though, its MUCH cheaper to buy the ribbon and make my own bows, as opposed to buying them! When I charge people for bows I charge anywhere from $6-7 or they cost that much or more in the stores for the store brand ones.

LOL ... I always said that there was a $40 cover charge in those places. It seems I can never get out of either one of them without spending at least that much!

My worst thing I do is cook, then not eat the leftovers. Dh does, but to me its like okay I made that we had it, pitch it. I don't know how many containers are in the fridge now of left overs that are not going to be touched. And I forget there is laundry in the washer, so i have to wash them again to get a funky smell out. Other than that I think I'm a good frugal person. But those are big hangups

I CRINGE every month when I have to pay my cell phone bill. My DH is a technology freak and since his company pays for his cell phone, my phone is like his little toy. He has me on some ridiculous plan where I have internet access, email and all the bells and whistles which I never use. I am NOT at all a phone person and really do only use my cell phone sparingly so it kills be to pay what we're paying every month for my cell phone. I'd love to go onto one of those pre-paid plans, but oh, well...
