Spending Money-What Else Can I Buy?

I'm curious, if other people do what I do, when it comes time to spend money. Do you think of what else the money could get you, instead of what you're contemplating? Maybe it's more so, if you have a hobby, passion, or you raise some kind of critter. Do you think of money spent on clothing, eating out, or some other purchase, as better spent on the thing you like most. Is there fabric somewhere calling to you, upcoming yard sales that might have treasures, or soap making supplies that could be purchased and even make you money. I find myself thinking of five dollars spent on eating out, is almost half the price of a bag of grain, or almost enough for a bag of goat treats. I think my husband gets a little frustrated whenever I mention my philosophy, but I just can't help myself, maybe it's an age thing. Does anyone else do this, surely I'm not alone?
