"If you clicked this link in Friday&amp;amp;#8217;s post, you already know what I splurge and save on. If you didn&amp;amp;#8217;t, here it is:Spend or save? Spend or save?! SPLURGE: Jeans and handbags Really great jeans wear well so they last longer. (I&amp;amp;#8217;m still wearing a pair of Joe&amp;amp;#8217;s Jeans I bought in 2003.) I also splurge on handbags. My rationale: I take the subway instead of owning a car, so my handbag is the &amp;amp;#8220;vehicle&amp;amp;#8221; for my notebooks, magazines, umbrella, lunch, and often my laptop. I&amp;amp;#8217;d rather buy one $400 bag and have it forever than have to keep replacing junky ones. SAVE: Wardrobe staples A $15 white T-shirt fits me just as well as a super-expensive one. I wanted to ask you guys what you splurge and save on when I was trying to figure out my own answer, but I thought that would be cheating. Now that I came up with my own answer, you can tell me! Do you spend more on certain items: Top-notch makeup? Shoes? Designer furniture? A fancy-pants car? And is there something your friends pay big bucks for that you get on the cheap? I&amp;amp;#8217;m curious to see how you all shop! Want more ways to save?
