  - Word. -- nm - znufrii Oct 14, 13:42 1

Theater ticket subscription, but we still have nosebleed seats so maybe that's not applicable but completely discretionary spending :) -- nm - oblique Oct 14, 13:12
Single large purchases: fossils and pottery. Lots of little purchases: LEGO -- nm - TWuG Oct 14, 13:11 7
