Our pellet stove!
We have reduced our oil usage SO much over the past few winters.
Our house is warmer than it's ever been and the oil bills are so low they are laughable.
(downside- oil companies tend to drop you when they see how little oil you use in a season- but who cares- SO worth it!)

My Roku device. It allows me to get Netflix, Amazon movie rentals, and Pandora radio direct to my TV (plus other channels for free that I dont use)...the best 79.99 ever spent, and the best birthday present hubby ever got! Chat Icon

Re: What is the best money you EVER spent?

Whatever the membership fee was for Match.com at the time. I don't even remember now but I think I signed up for three months for something around $24.99 or $39.99.

I met my husband on day TWO of being on Match.com lol so I guess I didn't need those two extra months lol lol. I didn't think I'd have such success!

I think our wedding day and HM was money well spent - we had a BALL at our wedding, enjoyed every moment, weren't stressed, just had fun. And our HM was the trip of a lifetime - we'll never get to do something like that again. I went all out, five star places, three weeks in Hawaii. It was important to me to give that to DH b/c of the long hours he works and has worked since he was a teen.

There's also something else lol but I can't say it here... Melissa knows, she understands!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon "oooh yeeeah you really need to look into that"

Our trip to Italy this summer. Have not even gone yet Chat Icon but I have been there a few times and DH never has. He has never been to Europe. I can't wait to see his face when he sees certain sights Chat Icon

It was a lot of $$ bc we wanted to see specific cities, didn't want a tour and just went for broke Chat Icon Chat Icon but I think it will be money well spent! Chat Icon

Re: What is the best money you EVER spent?

To date....it would have to be a trip I paid for this past Feb. It was my BF's 26th Birthday and I surprised him with a trip to Florida. It was a 5 diamond Beach resort and it was AMAZING! I had been there the year before for my cousins wedding and my BF and I had JUST starting seeing each other. The whole trip I was wishing he was there b.c I knew he would love it. And he did! Chat Icon
For the amount of money I spent in one weekend there we could have went on a 5 day cruise. But it was well worth it! Chat Icon

Veenrs for my front four teeth. It was like $2,000 but I was getting incredibly uncomfortable smiling because damage to one of them left me with one darker then the other. Now I never think about it.

I also agree with Central Air. My DH had to talk me into it, but I love it now.

Re: What is the best money you EVER spent?

$14000 spent on our hm to tahiti- which included a $1000 couples massage! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon we went all out. ate whatever, did all the excursions...

trip of a lifetime!!! we will never ever ever be that frivalous again.
now we are saving our butts off for a house . a house would have been nice right after getting married but we still wouldnt change a thing! we'll have a house hopefully forever, but tahiti will always be in our minds.

oh and my head piece that i wore on my wedding day!
it was $600 ( thomas knoell) but it shined like no other! i love it and hope to make it an heirloom.
