After being a single mother for 10 years, I got really good at
My money bleeds are definitely dining out.

Eating out is our biggest waste of money. We've been really good lately, but we still eat out too much.
Target is also bad. Quite often I go in there for one or two things and end up spending $50.
Someone joked once that nothing at Ikea is over $2 but you can never get out of the place for less than $300. It's so true, all those nifty (and oh so useful, you think at the time) gadgets and knick knacks that don't cost more than a couple bucks each actually cost a fortune and keep you poor.
I looked over my bank statement and there are so many charges at the grocery store (and starbucks) that are $4-$9 each and you don't think they cost much at the time but wow do they add up. I need to learn to make my lunch. That's my biggest problem.
Oh, Target is a huge downfall for me.
$2-$3 Gas station purchases
Movie rentals or buying a movie from the $5 bin at Walmart because it's the same price as renting.
Going to the grocery store with a list of what we are out of or low on, but having no actual menu planned.

Eating out used to be our biggest downfall, but we've been able to really crack down on that in the last few months. We do the envelope system with regard to eating out, and we've stuck to it.
Target is a big problem for me too, though. In my situation, the only thing I can do is just not go. If I need toiletries or anything like that, DH will go to Wal-Mart and get the stuff for me, because he knows Target is a trigger for me.
I caved this week though, and I'm totally having buyer's remorse. :(
