We have an allowance each, $100 a fortnight- I spend half of mine each fornight on my personal training, that is my splurge (about $120 a month) and the rest goes towards whatever, clothes, makeup etc.
We don't do the allowance thing, but we budget in a couple of games of golf for DH a month and I get my arcrylic nails and my waxing done... works well for us!!
We usually go to breakfast once a month (sometimes with the kids, sometimes without) which I prefer rather than takeout dinners.
Chiro, nails and laser (until I need no more) are my frequent splurges. Most often it's all put on credit. The CC is always paid off in full each month, so I guess that's my allowance!
We have a 'play money' section in our budget which I tend to spend on clothes and sometimes nails or hair or makeup... We also spend heaps of money on health ie chiro, acupuncture, massage, that probably averages around $100 a week I'd say but that is in a seperate 'health' section of the budget. We also have another section of the budget for dining out cause we love to do that, we budget for once a fortnight at a nice restaurant
