I also pay for good coffee and real cream, local produce, and better quality food in general.
One thing that's definitely an extravagance is travel. We mostly travel on rewards points since DH travels weekly for work, but these days I pay to upgrade the experience because I'm so tired of the increasing craziness surrounding air travel and grow less tolerant of crowds as I get older. That means I book the front of the plane whenever possible for more leg room and guaranteed overhead space, have a Global Entry card to avoid long TSA lines, and use a small local airport even though it can be more expensive. I also get rooms with kitchens and laundry whenever possible, which might be saving me money when you count meals and such, dunno. (it's kinda weird that at home I need less and less but when traveling feel I need more and more )
Oh, and books. Lots and lots of books ...
