Probably not as good as Apple’s, but they do have some of the metal bands I listen to. So they’re making an effort to include the popular entertainers as well as little known musicians.

Aaron, nice tip, I need to check out Amazon for mp3’s at 89 cents. How is the selection?

Wow Kyle, I’m sure glad we went with a Japanese Toyota 4Runner. They run just fine with their stand license plate holder and they get good gas milage for a mid-size SUV too!

Have you considered buying your mp3s from Amazon? Their ten cents cheaper and they are DRM-free to boot!

I love designer handbags. I only buy one every few years, but the temptation to buy more is STRONG!

Also books, dinner at The Cheesecake Factory, imported cheese, and Philadelphia Eagles merchandise.

I can totally relate, Kyle. Power tools, I’m the same way. I love ‘em but never use ‘em. Probably have no clue what half of them are for anyways. It’s just neat to have. But the iTunes store… oy. I’ve sooo been there where I’ll add dozens of songs and then an album or too (hey, at just $11.99 for 20 songs, that’s a steal! How could I NOT get it?). So I try not to go into the store more than once a week now. Heh. That seems to help. A little.

Kids should probably be my top budget buster. You want them to have the best of everything. I don’t buy them a lot but it’s awfully hard to say no when they want to buy a book or do something semi educational.

Thanks for playing along!

Itunes, that can be tough…99cents a song, such a deal, but then you have 100 songs you want to buy

Same here with the kids, I can’t help buying them shiny new things here and there, it’s fun for me.

I gotta have a few new ‘tunes’ every once in a while. Makes life a little bit sweeter!!

I can see how the iTunes store could suck me in. That’s why I do my best not to buy from them at all…
