Say you're shopping and see something you like, or you're planning to enjoy some kind of experience. How high can the ticket price be where you are able to just shrug it off because it isn't that much money?
In this context a trinket is basically anything. Clothes, electronics, makeup, food, alcohol or drugs, whatever your personal vice might be (although I use the term vice very loosely here). I am very specifically not talking about necessities, the poll is about what your luxury purchase limit is. Not a "treat yo self" moment, just "I am in Target and saw this thing. *Add to cart without a second thought*" ---
