splash out
Indulge in purchases
To splash out is to spend money freely, especially on something extravagant or indulgent.
The phrase is primarily British: We splashed out on a fancy dinner for our anniversary.
You can splash out absolutely or splash out on something specific.
The image suggests money flowing loosely, without careful restraint.
