Ooph! This one stings

The fact that these companies have the audacity to boast about it to the public...

Because they can.

Blame Debiers. They've had the monopoly since slavery was still legal.

Our rule is sign up for one subscription until we're done with that one. But lately we're trying to go the free route. Tubi has some of my favourite shows and zoechip has That 70s Show I'm binging on with my daughter. That plus youtube, and the 200 movies we have at home is a lot of media to last us a long while. I'm often busy working or doing other things anyways.

My parents got married by the county Sherriff in my dad's front yard in the '70s. Still together after almost 50 years.

Only in good ol 'Merica

And in my experience, it doesn't even work. Also, the packaging is excessive (thick non-recyclable glass jars, bottles with pumps that don't reach the last 10%). Hate it.

I won't use an Airbnb. If I go on holiday, I want someone else to look after my room, clean, make the bed etc... I do that stuff every single day at home, a holiday is to get away from 'that stuff'

SCI=Service Cooperation International (I had to Google that one)

All fast food has become expensive. Not Just McDonalds.

Without inheritance you are damned. Or you have to be a millionaire. It is like they want us to be homeless :D

You need to sneak in your own drinks and snacks

Inkjets are terrible for running out/drying up ink. Get a lazer jet. Cost more to start with but the ink doesn't dry out, so if you don't use it much, it will still work when you next go to use it.

Went for lunch, ham cheese bagel and water 11 euro 🤯 went to dunnes bought 4 pk of bagel ham cheese and crisps 6.50 stayed home and invited friends over so now we take turns making lunch in eachothers houses, cheaper and more relaxed and dosnt cost an arm and a leg if you want seconds

Weird. Why don't you just make up a sandwich or two at home, before you leave?

My heath insurance is 54€ per mounth. Went to the ER last month, in an ambulance, spend the night there. Need surgery next week, I'll stay a week in the hospital. Total bill with the medication and a nurse visite at home a whole week : 0€. Not to mention the birth or my 3 kids, 0€ too.

You can thank the ppl who comb thru second hand/charity shops to sell online. Was in a charity shop a few weeks ago, just having a nosy, and saw a lot of Primark clothes, but not at Primark price. Why in hell would I buy old clothes that are double/triple the price when I can walk 10 meters down the street and actually buy new from Primark?

A lot of the time we don't eat.

I frequently volunteer at a local food bank, and have donated both food and money to them. It is sickening that, in what is supposed to be the richest country on Earth, millions can't afford to eat.

I mainly eat garbage at work because I get it pretty cheap, so my son can have the foods and snacks he likes that are at least vaguely nutritious. And since he's a growing teenager, I swear he's ALWAYS hungry. But because he's also polite and compassionate, he always offers me some of whatever he's eating (even when I literally just made it for him). I think he's always understood how much we've gone without so that he always had plenty. (Which makes me proud that I raised a compassionate human being, but also breaks my heart that he knows we go without, because I think sometimes he feels guilty and he shouldn't.) At least we're in a slightly better way, now.

Sometimes it's either food or medicine; not both in one month!

We have 2 meals per day, cereal, and whatever we can afford that day. Sometimes the kids will have 2 meals, adults have 1. Unless the kids are in school, then they get 3 meals then, adults still 1 or 2 if lucky.

Try doing it as a diabetic, when the accent is on protein.

You go from good brand products to no brand products... and select the cheapest. I haven't bought fresh fruit in a long time, because it's so expensive.

We can thank Joe Biden for the grocery prices getting out of control. Trump had things under control when he was in office.

I understand a lot of the excuses...but I REALLY understand greed.

I've been able to get away with some fast food pricing hacks but since 2015 I've been consisting on a diet of Ramen and salads (our local farmers market is stupid cheap, 20 apples for $1.50, head of lettuce is $0.50)

I try to keep groceries under $300 a week but it has become nearly impossible.

I'm lucky that I have 4 grocery stores within 3 miles of my house so I live off of sales and clearance items or if I have a really good coupon. I make meals based off of what I can afford vs what sounds good or I'm craving otherwise I would basically starve.

BIDEN!!!

Getting married is wealth management and people don't get that. It's not only love. It's much more spendable money, less rent, tax deductions, etc

My mum takes 12 different meds plus insulin every day. She would be dead if in USA, not only that she has had 6 major surgeries, including a bypass in the last 5 years. All for a government capped cost of $500 per calendar year for meds, zero costs on anything else, doctors, paramedics, home nurses, specialists, surgeons, all tests, all extensive hospital stays. She just spent 13 days in hospital again for fluid on lungs and low kidney function. They did every test you can think of and adjusted her meds until they got the balance right.

To be fair, anything for a minority group will cost more as the overheads (including special design, testing, legal compliance and insurance ) are shared between fewer purchasers.

That's nothing. My university decided to build a new stadium. Nothing wrong with the old one. Did they use ticket sales of the previous stadium to pay for it? Nope. Charmed every student that started after 2004 an extra $1,000 until it was paid for. Would I have been able to use that stadium? Nope. Did I have an interest in sports? Nope. But I paid $4,000 towards that damn stadium!

The only apples I want, grows on trees.. 🍏🍎🌳😋🙃

Cant even stay slightly overweight in this economy is the sentence of the year, i love it so true 😂🤣

Kia is the third most reliable car made. Going to have good resale value. I found the 2002 Toyota Camry I bough for $6000 when it was four years old is still selling for $6000 today. My credit union will not even give me a used car loan unless it is for over $20K! And the car has to have under 100K miles.

Yes.. People should think of this before having five of them.. -_- overpopulation is not a good thing either.

It's the most successful scam in the world! As has been explained to death on this site.

When my daughter was little I bought a bunch of random bags from people off ebay. It was totally worth it. Not sets, just sandwich bags stuff with a vareity and usually by color, for like $5 or less.

Yeah.. Basically everything you need for staying alive :( It is crazy how I could buy clothes from some shetty ultra fast fasion compan cheaper than if I want to buy meat or veggies or simply food... :'(

Sports, too. Here in Boston, there are two gas stations across the street from Fenway Park. They shut down on game days and jam cars in them - for $100 a spot.

Goodwill got bought out and most locations are no longer non-profit. They higher people to go through donations, sell the decent stuff online and the c**p at the store. It was a very noticeable change at my hometown GW

Having worked for multiple retailers that sold Yeti, I can almost guarantee that Yeti did not make the skillet. Someone else made it and Yeti had their name stamped on it.

I'm glad that my asthma ja diabetes meds are free...

I fly out to Kansas from California every year to visit family. I have to plan way ahead and use credit cards because it averages proble $600-700 each just for flights, to Kansas. And no direct flights.

Can I cancel my subscription please, or at least switch to a lower tier.

Oh, those cheap tacos after a night out while in college were fabulous.

It's the main reason why I still drive my 21-year-old car. It gets me where I need to go and no fancy computer extras that I couldn't care less about. 🚗

Imagine how expensive life would be without any education ...

Could you be more specific?

Bird flu.
