What's the most you've spent

Even though I've been digi scrapping for 4 years, it was only about 6 months ago that I bought my first kit. I was living off of freebies before that (amazingly, I still like all my first LO's), and I was on a CT for awhile, so I had a few kits there too.

ANYWAYS, I think the most I've spent in one shopping trip was about $20 -$25. And I felt like I splurged, lol! But then again, you can get a lot of great stuff for $25!

Now, if I was to buy everything thats in my kaboodle account from here... lets just say I would spend closer to my years budget, haha!
 
Most of mine have been under $10 or so. I think the most I've spent at once was $20-25 and that has only been once or twice. :)

DANG! We've got some serious spenders here! I think if I spent over $100 on a single digi purchase my husband would have a heart attack! :)

I usually spend around $5-10 every week or two, depending on what's out there and what pictures I've taken.

What's TLP?

Okay, I usually pick up one or two kits in the middle of the night on Friday when the new releases come out. SO I spend about $11 a week. But I can justify it because I stay home and scrap. If I leave my house it is a hundred dollar day. 1st I need coffee $3. Then I need to feed my kids lunch $23. Then I need gas $60. Then there is the cost of whatever I actually left my house for. Last week i went to AC Moore and Michaels. I got a few pieces of paper, Some K&C Owl Stickers and some stickers that looked like duct tape with words on it and I spent $12 And I can't even touch that stuff until my kids go back to school. Not that my husband cares. I asked him the other day if he minded that I had spent $25 on digi stuff in the past month. He said he wouldn't care if I spent $25 a week. I may take him up on that.
 
Ummmm...probably $75 or so? I usually spend a lot here each week, though. Really looking forward to using my points! :) It will help a ton.
 
I think I spent around $100 on my sweet rewards order at the end of June. I had a huge backlog of stuff I wanted and it was my birthday and a good friend sent me a GC (for my birthday) and I got paid for a scrap thing I had done (etc etc etc) Basically a lot of stuff came together at once so I made the most of it. I haven't spent very much at all since then and am getting to a point where I have to really evaluate new purchases closely cause my CTs are keeping me plenty busy ( and satisfied!) enough. I know in August I've only spent $10. I tend to spend big at NSD and black friday sales and not any big amount in between. It all adds up though!

One of my scrap friends and I have talked about whether we really save money buying at these big sales - cause we tend to overbuy. Sometimes it seems like we should kaboodle everything and only buy/download right when we are going to use something. You don't always get the item you want on sale then but depending on how much you buy it might save on unused stuff.

I was over at TLP earlier and got totally sucked in and then shut the window LOL.

I think the most for me is about 20-30. I do lots of shopping at lots of places in little bits, lol! Not that much at one time usually. :)
 
Well, tracy ann gets to claim my largest chunk, on NSD... I have over 100 folders of tracy ann stuff, that I never get to scrap with because I'm here so much, lol.
my sisters always want me to scrap pages for their girls, because they've never opened photoshop in their life and would never even think of scrapping on their own, not even paper scrapping, so I scrap for them for their christmas and birthday presents, so I make them buy me girl kits, lol. I'm so mean. My scrap money goes to my own personal use, dang it!

I'm super lucky to be on the CT's I'm on, which is why I only join teams of designers whose work I absolutely love. Those girls are brilliant, I love working for my kits!
 
I doubt I've ever gone over $40, maybe not even $30.

I try to keep my purchases to under $12 mostly. There really isn't much point to me buying anything since I've got a pretty good gig here :thumbup:. (but sometimes I just can't help myself LOL)
 
Probably the biggest one time purchase I've made since I started digiscrapping was here @ SSD last July when I bought the entire Garden Girl collection by Robin & Christy and that was $40. That was for 6 full kits, 7 quick page albums and 4 bonus element packs, so it was a lot of stuff.

There have been a couple of big sales where I've spent maybe $15-20, but it's been quite awhile since I've been able to do that. In the whole month of August I've spent less than $10. Money has just been too tight since I became a SAHM 16 months ago that I just don't get to shop very often. Good thing I have some awesome CT's that keep me well supplied with goodies!!
 
Well being a hybrid girlie I guess I spend more than you digi girls. I quite often can spend £100 on embellishments/ribbons etc. so that's roughly $200 ish. Yesterday I went to my local scrapbbok shop for a glue stick - yes just one glue stick, possibly 2 to make it worth my while driving the 30 minutes down the motorway to get there. I spent over £40 ($80) :blink: Like how did that happen????
 
It was in one order and it was 9-24-2006 and it was $23.40 (it was originally $36 but I had a coupon ;)) for Gina Miller's Designer's Studio" Collection.
 
I don't think I have ever spent more than $40 at one time or in one day. Mostly because I never have more than $40 available to me at any one time.

I average about $8-10 a week. But I mostly only buy here.
 
Just check the monthly SSD sweet rewards receipts :D I spent a fortune on my birthday stocking up at different stores back in March, like over a hundred bucks but I will NEVER do that much again! So once a year I go hog wild and once a month with sweet rewards semi-hog wild. Average SSD monthly spending, $30. Which I am trying to cut down on. I can't believe I just admitted to that
 
I did about 50 here with Sweet Rewards, but that doesn't count my weekly new release spending -- but shhhhhhhhhh -- that's a secret! :)
 
okay, I went into my account & viewed all my purchases because I was curious... I had guessed earlier that I had spent maybe $20 at most at one time.

Yeah, apparently it was actually $15.21. And since February 7 (my very first purchase here), I've spent a whopping $53.33 in the store. Total.

I feel like SHOPPING, lol!!
 
The most that I have ever spent at one time is $36 but I buy things weekly so I usually spend between $10-$30 a week. Having the 20% off new release Saturdays really get me because I can't justify not getting the deal kwim? I'm horrible lol

Are any of you like me and as long as you spread it out over a few days do you feel like you're not spending as much lol....denial much? lol

lmao! yep. this is me to a T. just in the last few days I bought a Cori Gammon kit, some of her Kraft papers, then I went and got that Mr. Fancy Pants kit at Shabby Pickle. oh, and of course Danielle's second set of overlays. and some torn paper templates. then i bought a kit and Penny's overlays this morning. so yah. I've been bad. i think i'm done for the month. i feel bad now! :p

and you know the worst thing? my DH has no idea that i buy these things. He knows i scrap a lot and that i'm on teams and i get those kits free, but other than that he really doesn't pay any attention. If he happened to ever glance at our bank statements and see all the PayPal transactions, then i'll have some 'splaining to do, lol. I really need to get a job so that i can not feel guilty and it'll be my own money to do what i want with.
 
OMG I cant even admit it LOL Im so embarresed after reading what everyone else has posted LMAO I will just say I went nuts ;) LOL
 
I was looking at paypal transactions....it appears this is a serious problem for me. We need a 12x12 step program, like someone's avatar said :p . The last month I've done much better but in the past...OH MY I could just smack myself for not giving it to a charity or something. $5 or $10 here and there seems OK to spend but then it really adds up. And you forget you spent $10 already at some store on Tuesday and just had to buy a few dollar items on Friday and it just gets worse from there. :(
 
I am an el-cheapo so I think the most I've ever spent is $11. I set a monthly busget of $10 and some months I don't spend that at all.
 
I think I spent close to $60 last month with Sweet Rewards. But, it was my first month having the coupon, and I had 40% off! I couldn't buy just a couple of things with that! lol
 
Well if you want to talk about how much I've spent on Dooney and Bourke purses, that'd be a different matter entirely. :thumbup:
 
Shh. I broke my one-time high today buying new releases. And I'm planning to break it again next week at Sweet Rewards time. Do we have a paper bag over the head emote? :p
 
Im with those who dont count! No need to dwell on bad sums of money - lets dwell on the fun we have scrapping them instead - go and fill out the 101 reasons thread Manda started - its way more positive - I refuse to share my poor financial management for fear of profound embassment:p!!!!
 
In one shop, just digi... I think 90-ish have been my top.
But I've spent over $200 in a day mixed in different stores.
Plus every time I have to "refill" my hybrid supplies (chipboard albums, flowers, glue dots) my orders are around $125-150 plus shipping (my excuse is I just want to pay shipping once)
