We all got one. We know it. You can't hide from it.


What's your vice? Have you accepted being able to eliminate it from your budget or do you let yourself indulge?


I'll be honest - my vice? Diet coke from McDonalds. Don't know what it is. The cup, fountain syrup, straw combo....DELISH! I can have a diet coke from the can but its just not the same.

Mt Dew and bottled water.


I just LOVE Mt Dew. I am down to one can a day, so a 12 pk lasts me almost two weeks. I don't think I'm doing too bad if I'm only spending $5 every two weeks or so. I can usually find it on sale somewhere for $3 or less (we have bottle dep, so I have to pay the deposit on

My vice is books - primarily romance books. Unfortunately my local library does not hold a good range and are not willing to either.
I have managed to rein in the spending I was doing just because I had the discount vouchers that I had received by email from Borders. Books are expensive here - usually around NZ$20 for one paperback.
I accept purchasing the books as a part of my budget since I enjoy reading.

Hey Dee, wine is a vice of mine too (though I am starting to cut back in order to lose some of the weight). Have you ever tried making your own wine? I'm not talking about the kits that you bring home and do, but the stores that you go into and make the wine, and then they keep it for you and call you when its ready. We've done it a few times and although not as great as some of the expensive wines, its still pretty good and usually works out to about $2-3
