We all know vaping is an expensive little hobby. Anything else that you can't help but buy?

For me: running shoes (I'm always buying a new pair and probably have way too many)

Flip flops/sandals (don't ask me why, lol)

Hair products

Michael Kors bags and watches. Actually watches of any kind. I'm a watch fanatic

Lip gloss - I probably have about 150 kinds from 99 cents up.

I'll stop there for now ;)

I have an affinity for watches myself. I'm about form and function rather than just bling. I have 3 Citizens and 2 Luminox's I wear regularly with a Bulova I use for dress.

I love the outdoors, so I spend way too much money on hiking gear, golf clubs, and throwing discs...not to mention ammo for the ranges...that's a whole other subject! Lol!

I like to take my girls horseback riding as well. Don't own a horse (and have no desire to do so). Had to buy saddles and boots, but that was years ago. Don't really spend $$ on it anymore, but it's still a hobby. I have some friends that run stables, and a lot of folks appreciate the ability to get their steeds exercised for free.

Hey Tina:laugh:
Let's see...I can't say that I have a ton of hobbies.

I love handbags! Love love love handbags!! The bigger the better!

My greatest hobby next to vaping would probably be reading...sadly I don't have as much time to read as I'd like to at the moment.
I guess you could also say that I collect perfume...can't stand the same smell all the time & once I smell someone wearing it I retire it for a bit. Hehehe! Strange I know but I can't help it. I have a whole vanity covered with the stuff:facepalm:

That's about it for me but anyone who knows me says I spoil my 2 furbabies (my cat Chloe & my dog Prince)more than myself. This is they're house...I just pay all of the bills:laugh:

I have a collection of High End US made knives. Most are 1 offs or very limited runs. Mostly made with Ti, Carbon fiber and high end knife steels. If you think vaping is expensive look up what a Todd Begg Bodega with Lightning Strike carbon fiber cost, or a 1 off Mick Strider SMG or a nice Microtech Auto will run you. I also spend a lot of time training my dogs. I have 2 doberman pincers that are therapy dogs, that get constant training to improve them.
 
Gardening, although buying seeds is expensive, it's far cheaper than buying plants in May when I need them. So I'm not sure if that's an expense or a net savings. :) Bags and bags of soybean meal to feed everything is definitely an expense...but still a bit cheaper than doing it chemically, so again...

Books. A thousand currently live on library shelves in the cellar.

Other than that, I'm frugal to the point of being a tightwad.

Oh I hear ya. I don't go for bling watches either. I love my ones for outdoor and running and stuff like that and then have some for work that are dressy.

I used to show horses professional until I was about 21. I loved loved loved it. In fact, here's a pic when I was 6. I stopped when I moved out of my parents house cause lord knows I couldn't afford it. Talk about expensive. OMG.

That's so awesome! Riding show at 6! I was a bit overprotective. I wouldn't let my girls ride solo until they were big enough to string a bridle by themselves.

Photography, animals (pets), books....

After 12 years, have 2 great cameras that I'm happy with(& half a dozen or so "backups") , plus good lenses and a good tripod....but it took a while and $$$....

When I first got my horse, I bought him everything horse-related known to mankind!! Last purchases - 2 beautiful custom made treeless saddles. Most of the time I ride bareback, go figure....

Had to build a special room just for our parrots/birds....buy a ranch for the horses....stray cats get adopted and apparently put the word out....we're down to 1 dog right now but that won't last long....

Love to read, it's like breathing....most of my purchases now are on my Kindle....

How cool is that? First my experience with horses was summer camp. I got freaked out when the horse decided he wanted to run. I thought I was going to loose my teeth and didn't realize how bouncy it was. It looks easier than it is.
