By nature I'm not a big shopper, so like others have also mentioned I tend to avoid unnecessary splurges by avoiding big stores like the plague. Also, when I have the urge to shop online, I usually put a bunch of stuff in my cart and never check out.

However, the challenge my husband and I face is that we are spending way too much at the grocery store for two people. Even if we go with a list, we tend to buy expensive items (I love lots of fresh produce), and other little goodies we may enjoy get tossed in the basket as well. We are not big food wasters and our fridge is far from jam-packed with extra junk (and we don't buy lots of food that sits on the shelf, either), but I still wonder how we manage to spend so much at the grocery store! Where does that money go??? The lemon and garlic olives and whatever cheese is being sampled Whole Foods are my version of that extra candle or scarf. Although sometimes I can't decide whether it's my shopping habits or whether good food in big cities is really just that expensive?
