    I spend hardly anything on treats for me but I spend about £10 per week on treats for the children. Usually either a toy, a dvd or sweets or a day out.

  • Treats?! What are they??!! :rotfl: Freebies are my treats!! For example got a Chanel mascara today! :D Cost me zilch! If I have spare cash eg from food budget, goes into a jar and I save it for something I want to do or if something unexpected comes up. If I have a fair amount it comes off my debts :o It was treats that got my debt to what it was so I'm doing everything I can to pay it off then I can have occasional treats after that with MY money!!! :D

    I save my £2 coins for treats. It's fun trying to find them - and I don't feel guilty spending them!

  • If we can't afford treats, I have a large family and they all buy my children pressies for birthdays, so do i not buy back for my nephews and neices?
