</p><p>Me? I splurge on good modest clothing. If you&#8217;re a <a href="http://welovehijab.com">hijabi</a>, you know that sometimes it can be difficult to find the perfect shirt that is cute, has long sleeves, <em>and</em> covers your behind. So, when I find something really good like that, sometimes I just have to ignore the price tag and buy it. I also splurge on good food. We <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsuPqnpxmAY" rel="nofollow" target="new">try to eat as organic as possible</a> in my house. So when we go grocery shopping, we have to spend a few extra dollars in order to get better quality food.<br />
</br><br />
What do I save on?<br />
I save on drugstore items like toiletries and beauty products (except for when I need a <a href="http://www.maccosmetics.com/" rel="nofollow" target="new">MAC</a> fix!). I usually find great deals on these items at drugstores like CVS. CVS actually helps me save <em>even more</em> money because it gives you Extra Bucks on your shopping receipts throughout the year. The <a href="https://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/user/extracare/extracare.jsp" rel="nofollow" target="new">Extra Bucks</a> are usually worth around $5 and you have to use the money at that store. <strong>CONFESSION:</strong>  When I get Extra Bucks on my receipts, I usually turn right back around and buy some more stuff before I leave the store&#8230; Pathetic right?<br />
</br><br />
<strong>What about you, ladies? What do you splurge and save on? Do you clip coupons? Do you buy a great new car every couple of years? Do you &#8220;invest&#8221; in good shoes and handbags because they&#8217;ll last longer? Or are you a frugal girl all the way?</strong><br />
