not much - no clothes until I lose all of the baby weight...eating healthy is also expensive - whole food supplements, vitamins all fresh food - I spend about 500 a month just for me - that's my splurge right now. I'd say maybe I spend 25 a month right now. question - do we pay taxes on this - do you or the company report it and our name to the irs? or maybe we claim it under other income like sweepstakes on our own...

I spend about between $20 and $40 in a typical month for yourself. I was able to afford a little bit more before, but nowadays clothing and accessories are definitely not my priority right now.

Kathleen S. said:

I would say usually around $100, but right now I have been losing weight so I'm spending zero on new clothes until I'm down a few sizes, so I'm not spending much at all per month right now. Thanks!

Really depends on how much money I've made...I do tons of vintage and thrift shopping as well as buying high end goods so it swings between 50 and 200 dollars a month depending on what I've got to spend.

Renee Richardson said:

About 20-30 dollars. I found the most amazing secondhand store that has 99 cent day on certain items. I have found some great brand name items. Some with the original tags still on them. I am an addict. LOL!! Thanks for the great contest :)

mineola said:

It really varies on what needs to be replaced, upgraded or phased out! If I have a business trip, I tend to focus my spending there & generally have one big spring trip a year. I also usually spend more money during the winter white sales. Agree with the poster who said their spending was a bit erratic, as it tends to be when you are a bargain hunter! :D

I use to spend around $300 for myself, but cheap today has helped me find the best deals on name brand things so I only spend about half of that and have more money at the end of the month for other things.

carol lewis said:

I would think $20-$30 a month but I don't shop every month I do it a few times a year. Just not much time for myself. Kind of wierd. Anyway, this bag is super and I would never feel free to spend this much on myself.

# February 8, 2010 4:28 PM

About $30-40 month when I was working, but now that I'm job searching practically nothing.

# February 8, 2010 6:17 PM

Sandra Diana said:

I would say about $50 a month on myself. I tend to purchase more for others than myself unless I'm in need of a new pair of skinny jeans or some other staple. This purse would do wonders with my wardrobe!

# February 8, 2010 6:26 PM

Myself - usually nothing. But I probably spend 20-30 on my daughter it seems.

Heather C said:

I go in stages, I'd say. One month, I spend nothing; the next month, I'll spend $100. If the mood strikes and my husband spends $500 on a golf club, you can bet I'm going out and spending the equivalent on myself. Yep.

# February 8, 2010 7:51 PM

Valeen N said:

Right now, my typical month's spending on myself is zero, zip, nada, nothing. The kids need clothes and moms are always last.

Joanna Smith said:

I am so embarrassed to say, but since I am on a strict budget I only spend about $100 a month. I try and seek out bargains at Marshalls and TJMaxx and make my money stretch as far as I can. I would rather have one gorgeous handbag or new pair of shoes and spend just $100 on one item than several more mediocre items that are so, so. Thanks so much for the chance to enter.
