What was the last (non-necessity) item you purchased for yourself?

Either clothes or a movie or the door fees to a club. Are clothes a necessity?

On Saturday I was in Rio, W.Va., at the "Rio Mall" which is a collection of ramshackle buildings stuffed full of stuff - some new, some not-so-new and some stuff that definitely has seen better
days. In one store I found a small cobalt blue glass dish that I bought for $3.12. It will join its brethren in the bay window in my kitchen. Nothing necessary about it. Except that it pleases me.

Cindy, 41

I bought a copy of the newest Coldplay album last night.

Probably a book of some sort.. my money mainly goes to food and bills these days.

A Rockstar energy drink (about 15 minutes ago). Before that, photos to get developed. Before that, beer. And so on, and so on. I look at 99.9% of everything I've ever bought as a "non-necessity.

I have lost 30lbs and my jeans were falling off of me, so I bought two new pairs of jeans. So I guess they were necessary. BUT I have purchased several pairs of really cute shoes. I bought Mary Janes with a strap and top stitching around the shoe. They were so cute I bought them in blue
and in a cinnamon color. And a pair of purple suede shoes.

I think it was a shirt (red, w/spaghetti straps & a lacy long-sleeve overshirt) to go clubbing in. I haven't even worn it yet & I've had it for about 3 wks.
