I have the same problem. Since money is not so forthcoming now I have two children I still find myself getting new stuff just because I want it. Just this week I spent around 80$ at Countycomm. Now i think I am gonna put some money back for some things i really want. There are some times when I feel I am working hard enough I deserve some of my wants but it can't happen every week. Whewn your needs are taken care of you can then take care of your wants (which there is a whole list of).

As far as the titanium spork goes I have one and it stays in my lunchbox for when i want to eat some canned fruit (works well on sliced peaches). I just like titanium then again i am a ironworker/welder by trade so i like playing with all kinds of steel.
