Have you ever?

I remember a similar thread to this coming up a few years ago and wondering how much I’d spent over the years. I opted not to look. Lol!

I will say though that I don’t regret a single purchase here. I’m still going back and using items I purchased years and years ago! AND since I’ve started art journaling and painting in real life... I will spend more on ONE tube of paint than a whole entire kit here. It’s worth every little penny. @Kat I’ve been know to break up purchases into smaller amounts so it doesn’t look as bad too! lol!

Whew!! With some of the dollar amounts you were posting I was afraid to look.... It was less than I expected so that was good. But then again, I am wondering if it included my M3 subscription, now in my second year!! Rock on!

From 2013 to Dec 2015 I only spent $55 here. I started the MOC in 2016 and since then I have spent about $700. It's funny to see how much I spend especially every January. "I need this kit for this challenge..."

I think it's best if I pretend to be an ostrich and stick my head in the sand!

I remind myself and my hubby that we earn points for every $ spent and that helps us get airline miles to travel!

That is brilliant!

I haven't looked here at the amount spent. I see it when I enter transactions for my personal checking account into Quicken. <shock> My top three places where I spend money: Lilypad, Barnes & Noble/Amazon (books), and Starbucks.

Nope....not gonna do it I prefer to be oblivious LOL.

No way am I looking. .....

That was sobering. I can see when Kristin started selling here. LOL

LOL. The total is a lot less than I expected. I spent a ton a few years ago but it has slowed down a bit now since I feel like I own so much and my tastes/styles are more set. My CT teams match what I'd buy for myself so there hasn't been as much that I "must buy". Plus, I've been super busy and just haven't has as much time.

Why the heck did you guys tempt me to look???

Since my first purchase in January 2014, I've spent $8,500.38 in regular purchases, plus approximately $1,500 in various subscriptions, for a horrible total of $10,960.38. And that's only for The Pad. It doesn't take into consideration the thousands I've spent elsewhere. I'm a hybrid scrapper that shops as a secondary hobby, so my outgoing fund amount is quite scary.

THIS is why I'm putting myself on a strict budget in 2018! Ugh.
