What's The Last Thing You Treated Yourself To?
 

I got posed this question at work a couple weeks ago and it threw me for a loop.

So what's yours? What's the last thing you treated yourself to? Something you acquired just for you that falls outside of your normal purchases.

Citizen Eco-Drive watch. I like it and it's brought in some compliments.

A pair of Royal Retro 1 Jordan’s. Most I’ve ever spent on a pair of sneakers.

Highs or lows? Those are nice.

Ran across it somewhere online years ago and absolutely fell in love, then a couple weeks ago see it sitting in an antique store window and pulled the trigger for $50 without hesitation... it looks SO dope on my living room wall

Duckett Baitcaster and a One Piece Duckett Ghost Reel


Dropped a little over three fiddy

Nice. I observe and appreciate watches on other people and wish I could get into them, but ultimately I hate having any kind of accessories on my person. I once went on vacation with my wife without my wedding ring. We were on the flight out and she was like WTF mother****er?!

Highs.

Got promoted at work a few weeks ago, bought myself my present last night~

Plus a whole bunch of accessories.. ammo.. mags.. etc~

I just ate a cookie if that counts.

Other than that, I'm at a life stage where my needs are few, so I have a few things that I like that I do regularly. I go to barbecue restaurants, I buy tennis shoes, I buy an occasional nice shirt or nice pair of jeans, and I travel to races. But I do all of those things somewhat regularly. If you set those things aside, I seldom buy things that are outside my normal purchases, so it's hard to answer. Maybe bigger vacations, or I'll sometimes stay an extra day when I'm on a race trip.

Is it the lady with the red hat, skirt, boots? Either way, this is great as I have several critical concert posters, rolled up, sitting in a closet that I would consider a treat if I ever had them framed.

Did you turn to the woman in the next seat and say, "I have no idea what this woman is talking about"?

A peanut buster parfait

A really nice Cubs zip up hoodie in anticipation of Fall baseball,I think I may have jinxed them :(

There are a few slightly different variations I’ve seen, my girls hat is yellow with blue and white stripes for instance... but yeah, you know what I’m talking about

Thanks!

The last "nice" thing I bought for myself was a Tudor Black Bay Wristwatch. That was about 1.5 years ago.

Everything since then has been some sort of necessity.

We typically try and secure the 2 seat row just in front of the exit row seats on Southwest flights just for these types of moments, so maybe that counts?

Galaxy Note 10+ and it came with a free pair of Galaxy Buds. I'm more excited about the buds than the phone, I cant believe I went this long without true wireless earbuds. Before that it was my Chiefs Nike Air Zoom Pegasus shoes.

LMAO

I'm not really an accessory guy myself, either. But I do admit to being a fan of a decent watch. This is me trying to appear cultured, I guess. Lol

Got a new truck with stuff I will probably never need but YOLO!

I'm still saving up to buy myself a new personality.

Nothing much, I did "treat" myself to a french press. Never used one before and the coffee tastes good, but I will probably mostly use it when I run out of coffee filters because it takes a little extra effort to clean it.

I certainly hope so!

That’s gonna be one sweetass tele

Don't let them talk you into the cynicism upgrade. I got it and I'm pretty sure they ripped me off.

I've been on a spree this year of buying stupid shit I don't need. It's addicting. Been becoming somewhat of a hat collector but that doesn't set me back to bad. I bought a Rolex Milgauss, two Yeezys and one pair Pharrell Williams human race shoes.

An 8-day fly fishing trip to Pleasure Park, CO with 3 good friends.

I think you should buy a second one, just to be sure. :)

LMAO

8 days in Jamaica, all inclusive. Already counting down til we leave again. Only 297 days to go. Well either that or opening weekend in Jacksonville to watch our Chiefs put clown shoes on Marrone and the Jags.

A plane ticket to Washington.

I fell for the smartass upgrade last time. Hasn't worked out too well for me.

A BBQ and whiskey tasting with Mahomes, Kelce, and the Hunts and the Paul Rudd Mahomes MVP jacket.

^! Winner!

I just bought two seats from Arrowhead stadium with Logos and I got to pick my seat numbers!! 550.00$ But hey, once in a lifetime opportunity, right?

Not a normal purchase by any means, I just showed a couple grandsons a very nice time and the smiles on their faces was, what can I say, worth every penny. :thumb:

Yeah, I apparently don’t love myself enough. ROFL

Glad it was you, man. I always worry that people that get that stuff are total knobs.

a 4-Day stay at the Allison Inn and Spa in Newburgh, OR. This is our last night here. It’s been awesome. It’s over-the-top expensive, but my wife and I have had an unbelievable time. Great wines, great food and great weather.

I saw video of this and was insanely jealous.

He got bear hugs from Kelce and Mahomes, who both lifted him off the ground.

It was magical.

I bought an impossible Whopper last might

And? I've seen the commercials and wondered if they really did taste like a whopper.

Bourbon and steroids.

LMAO

Share it, no one here is coming after your privacy

I'm in the process of painting my El Camino.

Hell yea! That is awesome. I probably have small stack of minor dress up engine parts I could donate to the project as I love me some El Caminos. Aluminum valve covers, pulleys etc...

Cashed in miles and hotel points. 3 week trip across Europe. Flew Emirates first class. Took a shower in the plane. Went through Dubai, Santorini, Athens, Paris and Lyon. Great trip. Couple of years ago. I have more miles and points. Need to do it again.

I wouldn't be so sure about this.

Definitely buyer beware, as always on the interwebz

A regular Dr. Pepper. It was good too!

Mine is definitely a beer. I didn't pay cash for it, but I acquired some other beer to trade for this particular beer. Nothing crazy, just something I've been wanting to drink.

I'm seeking out some klonopin now tho.

I got me a 1876 silver half dollar a add on to my coin collection.

Yeah that’s fair enough, it can be a spooky world out there

Pussy and coke

Thats a young mans game...

:eek:

reeaaally?

Gotta use up the rest of my youth some how.

I don't really buy a lot of stuff for myself anymore. If I treat myself, it is generally with delicious food. Tonight will be ribeyes with some sweet corn, loaded baked potatoes and some homemade cheesecake for dessert.

Get to sleep around midnight to get ready for the week the right way.

mmmm ribeyes

Kershaw Launch 7




.

John Deere Lawn Mower.

D130.

Went to Price Chopper a few weeks ago when they were doing a sale on them and saw probably the saddest looking ribeyes I had ever seen in the meat case. Patio steaks looked more appetizing.

One thing I'm glad to of learned over the years was to be very picky about the cut of beef that I buy.

Bought a Big Green Egg to replace my old offset smoker. Absolutely loving it so far

I generally try to live fairly cheap (as cheap as you can with a mortgage and 2 kids) and keep some disposable income around, mainly because I’m too lazy to budget tightly. So the thing I typically “treat” myself on is I don’t eat cheap crap anymore. It’s just not worth it if you aren’t financially forced to do so.

Other things I’ve maybe frivolously dropped cash on that you can say isn’t necessarily mission critical:

A RAM mount for my phone in my pickup and the sprayer
Wireless earbuds. They’re cheap but they are better than wired ones
Duluth Trading company underwear. They are expensive as **** but it’s been my experience that they are worth it.

Chili cheese fries

Kawasaki Mule Pro FXT LE to replace the POS Yamaha Viking that blew engine cause Yamaha won't fix the overheat indicator....bastards call it a known issue...Mule is a beast and a huge upgrade.

Oh yea, Ill do inventory and send you some pics.

Bose stereo system for the garage/AKA Brewery along with some new digital temp controls for said brewing set up.

Not much for me recently. New bottle of bourbon a few weeks ago count?

With a baby girl on the way, most of the extra income has gone to all that noise.

2019 game pass subscription :D

Oh shit! Congrats on the baby girl!

Yeah, should be here anytime.

2nd kid?

Congrats to you and your mistress.

LOL. No 3rd actually.

2 boys, now a little girl.

Mistress left me

I bought some of those life vests that auto inflate when they hit the water. Thy're the best ones if you land in the water unconscious and are face down.

I can see why she did.

You're too fertile!!!!

Actually, I have splurged on a few things lately. Today I bought this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's a tabletop propane griddle. Going to put it out on the screened in porch on a table next to my Weber Gas Grill for doing breakfast like scrambled eggs and bacon and hash browns on Sunday morning. I can also use it to do burgers at Arrowehead tailgate. It's portable, has three burners and you can use it with a small propane bottle, or (I bought the adapter) a quick connect setup to a normal sized propane tank like you'd use with a Weber grill.

Ms. Blowfish and I finished our restore of our 1997 Cougar. We've been restoring it for about five years and just got it done. New V8 engine (less than 10,00 miles on it), all body and paint, all new interior from floor to ceiling, new Goodyear tires, all new suspension and exhaust, and final touch was a new Pioneer Sound System with all new speakers a couple weeks ago. Going to take it for detailing next month, and it's done. Here's a picture from back around May after the body and paint work, and before the interior work. The inside cloth and leather is just like when it rolled off the showroom floor. There's a few blemishes from 23 years of ownership, but it looks pretty choice. And it runs like a bat out of Hell.

Small butterfinger cyclone from Big Burger this evening.

An old friend had a Cougar around that year in HS. Drove pretty fast until he grenade'd it doing neutral drops like a dumbass. Ah memories.
