How Much Do You Spend A Month?

I usually spend 0, but there was no option. I can't afford AG stuff right now, so I depend on relatives and my BF to get me stuff as presents :)

I really should be saving up for my vacation to the Philippines in May... but sometimes its just so hard! LOL!

Last month I spent about $180 and this month so far I have spent $110...

My sister in law is over there right now. Watch out for those air fares! Ouch!

I don't know what I spend per month per say, but I know what my collection total is......sick sick sick woman that I am.

LOL... well I justify it this way... I wanted a $1500 bag and hubby said I could get that...

So why not get AG stuff instead and I can share it with my daughter and pass it down to future kiddos.

Besides, I can always get other bags but there is only one American Girl

It usually varies for me. For a long time I hadn't gotten anything, but in Jan. I bought Kirsten, her accessories and school dress and the hair care kit; in Feb. I bought Kaya and Bitty. I think those are the most. Now i'm on a 100 day challenge so no AG things (direct) until mid June.

I can't really vote because I fit into different categories. When we first got into AG on average I used to place two orders per month that were around $100-$150 each. This is not including all we purchased on ebay for retired items. Last year during the code, we completed the collections for the historicals so now we don't spend anywhere near that amount now. I still usually place one order a month, but it could be for only a $20 item or an item we redeem with Club points. We used to want everything AG ever made, but now we focus in on what we really like. I have no desire to spend absurd amounts on AG anymore and even if I did, we just don't have the room for it all. In fact we have been weeding out the AG things we do have so our collection is more manageable.

I am also embarrassed to say how much I spend, but I've got enough now to be happy, so maybe it will slow down.

Translation: I am an addict and am in need of help

Ahaha yep! I shop a lot. But I hardly ever use a credit card, so not worried about being in debt or owing the bank guys lots of money.

Gracie · Lover of All Things AG

That's good to know....but watch out. AG can be VERY VERY addicting! Especially when something is supposed to retire and you just have to get it before it does.

I am a cash spender myself. Keeps me from doing to much damage. Now what I will do in LA next week will be the kicker!

I spend between 25-55 dollors amonth, I try to buy at least 2 things amonth as I am strapped down with the bills right now but mange to havea little bit of AG Spending money at the end of every check. I always try and make it a present for me.

I am trying to get into a habit of just buying a couple things a month, but I always end up with 4-5 things in my shopping cart... then I feel bad so I don't purchase anything.

I like buying in sets... so if I purchase Kirsten's School Lunch, I have to get the dress and school supplies as well.
