I'm going to go with meals. Here is my bizarre reasoning: Shopping tends not to be a fun time for me because I've heavier than I would like so I always end up getting stressed out. Eating out
is nice because its special and I do it with people I love so its always a great experience.
I wonder if there is a correlation between my love of eating out and feeling stressed buying new clothes,lol.
Shopping, for sure. I like to cook at home and I have sort of a thing about eating the foods I like. I'm much more likely to go buy a new outfit or something like that to cheer me up than to
go out to dinner.
I'm going with meals. I love shopping, but I really need to "love" something before I spend money on it.
But with food, and especially drinks, I've easily dropped 200 (and more) on one night of dinner and drinks with the girls...but with every purchase (from $15 tank at H&M or a $600 bag) I
need to think long and hard if I really "need" it
I tend to go out for strictly drinks, since my budget is tight, so I don't really drop a done of cash on it these days. I set a dollar amount for shopping, and try to figure out how much I
can but - I did really well today, but some days I come home empty handed!
Shopping, hands down. I have a particular weakness for cute shoes. Generally, I don't like most shoes out in the market, so if I come across a rare one I do like, God help me, I MUST have it.
I will stockpile multiple pairs, and in different colors. My nutty reasoning is that I RARELY find shoes I like (However, because I end up stockpiling them, I offset those times I don't
purchase. LOL). My husband does not understand. He doesn't understand why there are so many shoes for one pair of feet.
I would say both, but I think eating out wins. The problem is that I never think twice about eating out but I agonize over whether I should buy a pair of shoes or not. Don't know why. It's
also why I don't think twice when my total food bill at the end of the night comes to £80 but I'd definitely think twice before paying that much for a top or dress.
Meals out. I have learned to tame my shopping -- I pretty much gave up. I have lots of clothes and stuff already, I don't need more. As if I need meals out and more weight gain. Ugh.
i think that eating out might be mine. during the day i'll think about what i want for dinner and i know that we don't have the supplies at home so i just want to go out.
as for shopping - i have this little problem where i see something and i really want to get it by 9 times out of 10 i learn to control myself.
Eating meals out, for sure. I've been able to curb my spending on things like clothes that I don't need and I'll go months without buying a video game (gaming is an expensive hobby if you
keep up with the latest games).
I'm constantly forgetting to pack a lunch so I end up eating at the cafe next door or the deli down the street a LOT. Fortunately, the fiance and I have been pretty good about not really
eating out for dinner. It's a start, but last I check, Mint.com pointed out that aside from bills, food is my biggest expenditure.

6Umm, can I say both? Although, I lose all self control when I go shopping. I'm better when it comes to picking food.

8Shopping!
9shopping, hands down. I could eat pasta every night, i just want new shows
10^correction: shoes lol
11Meals out. I have learned to tame my shopping -- I pretty much gave up. I have lots of clothes and stuff already, I don't need more. As if I need meals out and more weight gain. Ugh.
12i think that eating out might be mine. during the day i'll think about what i want for dinner and i know that we don't have the supplies at home so i just want to go out.
as for shopping - i have this little problem where i see something and i really want to get it by 9 times out of 10 i learn to control myself.
13In my case one usually is followed by the other- but I eat out more then shopping but on those occassions I usually don't pick up the tab
14Eating out. I hate shopping. It just stresses me out.
15Both. I am out of control.
16I'm going to echo what pink princess said, but if I absolutely had to choose one, I would say eating out wins, but only by a slim margin.
17Another vote for both, but eating out wins by a slight margin.
18shopping! its a silly reasoning, but stuff lasts longer then food
19For me, shopping takes time. I eat out because I don't have time or because I didn't plan well enough.
20Both are weaknesses for me.
