I also like my power shower, and love having my car. I even do short journeys in it when I have two toddlers to budge. Unless we are in no hurry and we can enjoy a sloooowww walk lol.
I also sometimes buy those microwave fries, the ones in the red box that are made from mashed potato. Because, it's only the tots that each chips, and rarely, and I refuse to put the oven on for 20min for a handful of chips. They don't like microchips, but they love those mash ones.
Also, since I'm avoiding sugar in my diet, I sometimes buy myself treats from the boots diabetic range.
Lastly, on Wednesdays I'm always running a little late for work after the nursery run, so I use the nearer parking bays, which cost more than the further away carpark, but does save me a 15min walk either way... At an extra cost of £3, is worth it to me to lower my anxiety levels...Bossymoo

Decent wine. Decent coffee. Decent food.....not usually extravagant, just simple food cooked well.

Trying not to waste food!:j
ETA Philosophy is wondering whether a Bloody Mary counts as a Smoothie0 -
Coffee for me, too - usually instant, but it has to be fairtrade.
Like Miss Havisham - good quality cat food for the mog: I'm not sure that's a luxury, though - he won't eat cheap food so it's more cost-effective to buy the more expensive stuff which he'll actually eat.
My 5ky subscription is a luxury, albeit one I could do without if I had to - I love Formula 1 and subscribed just to watch the grands prix, at a ridiculous cost each month.Back after a very long break!0 -
My list would be wine, snack type food, lunches out at the weekend, Tresemme shampoo and Boots Sanctuary things, also I do look for these on eBay.0

A ready-made meal of pizzas, oven chips etc and a bottle of wine every Friday.
Coffee with DH or friends at the local cafe.
A car, although there are now three of us using it as DS and DD are insured to drive it.
Everything else is second-hand, or home-made as far as possible.0 -

Internet - could never do without this - my window on the world

Everything else is up for grabs. I did used to be a stickler for branded coca cola but have found that Tesco diet cola at 57p for 2 litres is actually nicer than Pepsi or Coke.0 -

Marmite (the proper stuff)
Diet Coke
Warburtons Crumpets
