Renovations.

I feel lucky to have already been a homeowner before COVID. I have no interest in buying/selling again, despite our house being considered a "starter home". So after we suffered major water damage over winter we just made our kitchen hella nice.

Also, look up Speed Queen.

Plants, especially native plants that I often have to buy on Etsy or some other online store because local shops don't carry them or sell out too quickly. I have also spent a lot on houseplants that I struggle to keep alive.

Literally food.

In my case this mainly applies to tools - replacing cheaper worn out ones with something more durable, with the intent of BIFL.

I'm a bit frugal myself but usually postpone getting new and replacement products for a while, sometimes indefinitely 😅.

I've found small fridges seem to last forever, despite not being too energy efficient and ice builds up very easily due to them lacking the usual "bells and whistles"
