What's your biggest non-essential expenditure?

As in, what do you spend your money on other than rent, food, car insurances etc.
I spend most of my disposable income on food. Every month I go to this all you can eat Japanese restaurant. Costs me about 12 to 13. Then I go to Starbucks once in a while. Other than these, I do not spend my money at all.
I have a friend, and she is an engineer. She likes to go shopping for shoes and clothes. Said that it gave her the motivation to want to work hard.
How does Shroomery spend its money?

Beside festivals and camping trips I would say my ratrod. But my biggest non essential everyday expenditure is shooting pool. Usually $10-$15 in quarters a night and $10-$20 in beer. I really like pool though.

Larping, runs me about 100 bucks a month in event fee/extras/gas/food. Then another 20-100 a month in costuming (depending on what I'm making at the time)

On a month-to-month basis, probably eating out. I probably spend about $800/month eating out with the gf.
travel and electronics are up their, but they're irregular. Maybe 10-15k/year on that?

With booze, a meal for two can easily pass $100, so that's dining out Friday and Saturday night . Every now and then we'll throw in a breakfast and lunch too... For non-dinner she pays every now and then. Oh, the house is cleaned twice a month for $340 too.

Mixed drinks with food isn't too bad if they're made right...never understood how people drink beer with food though, makes it sooo much worse, the beer and the food.
Cigs, drugs, and outdoor shit is mainly what I spend money on as of late.

Steak is probably the ONLY thing where alcohol goes great for me, at least the only thing I've tried so far where it isn't shitty.

i like soda way more than i shud but ive been drinking way less of it recently. in the summer i naturally just drink way more water cuz its hot out
i always try to drink water with meals tho, unless its pizza. pizza and soda is just american as fuck

I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying the taste of the beer is different when you're eating it with certain foods?
