34 Products That People Stopped Buying After Their Prices Skyrocketed, According To This Thread

Yep, cleaning fee, booking fee, administration fee, credit card surcharge. No thanks.

I thought AirBnB was supposed to be a cost effective alternative to hotels... now hotels are the cheaper option!

I am supposed to clean the place AND pay a cleaning fee? I'll take a hotel that has accountability.

I never got the AirBnB thing. When I first looked at it many years ago I thought the same thing. I could get a hotel room for a fraction of the price with breakfast and don't have to clean it before I leave.

I don't know if this happens in other countries, but where I live the same property is often listed with another agency and it can be half the price. AirBnB is a joke.

I never quit the high seas 👼 I always want to own a copy of the movies / series I love 👍

Arrrr! Me Matey!

what are the high seas?

Yeah, I just don't even bother with TV anymore. I don't own one. I don't even miss it.

I don't have streaming services, just regular cable. Was going to watch the Chiefs vs. Dolphins game but apparently, at least around here, it was exclusively streaming on one of the pay-for-view streaming services. What a joke.

I refuse to give Ticketmaster a dime. I still go to a lot of concerts, but they are usually smaller, which is even better.

As much as I love them, to see the Foo Fighters in the UK was going to be £215 a ticket. As it was a three hour drive away, I also had to calculate fuel and somewhere to stay for the night. Whilst it would have been amazing, we can't pay in the region of £700 for one night out - I've booked a 3 day holiday for half of that.

My hubby and I talk about going to comedy shows but then we look up the ticket prices and decide that watching them on streaming is good enough. Sucks because we really love going to the live show but they are getting crazy with those ticket prices!!!!

Neil Diamond did a live show in a venue with no roof. The concert was recorded, and I bought the CDs. At one point, while his band is providing background music, he's talking to the audience, and he gives a shout out to all the "tree people" who hadn't gotten tickets. He said, "I'm singing for you too, Tree People!"

I stopped going unless I was friends with the band and was there to record it and live stream!

Goes for most fast food nowadays.

Yep. You can pay $15 bucks for a McDonalds cheeseburger or $18 for a decently constructed burger on bread that doesn't taste like candy with all the salad, bacon and egg etc. McDonald used to be quick, cheap and dirty. Now its just quick and dirty.

It’s absurd. McDonald’s isn’t a place I frequent unless I just specifically crave those fries. F**k the money, who can afford that many calories? A bigger burger and fries at Red Robin is like half the calories and only a couple bucks more.

I’ve been getting Carl’s jr a lot more because of this if I want fast food. They have the $3 double cheeseburger and it’s amazing, it has taste and texture etc. and it’s huge & they cook it fresh to order. They totally won me. (I’m using the Dubbo NSW one atm, which is so much better than the one near Gladstone QLD)

Can get better food from real restaurants for the same cost.

It is so expensive now.

Yes, and the entitlement of the owners reeks thru the faux warehouse decor

I don't mind paying the same price for smaller portions, if the food is good. (I am in the States, where portions are ridiculous.)

Plus the tipping culture that is beginning to cross borders to Canada nowadays...

I have a really bad allergy to anything with MSG and it's derivatives and no longer can trust anything cooked by anyone else! I won't let anyone else cook for me!

I'm an American living in the UK. While I don't want to move back to America, I also cannot. I'm a cancer survivor and I take six medications daily for post treatment problems like radiation treatment damaging my thyroid. I also get regular blood tests and have specialist doctors. Because I would die without my medication I do not have to pay NHS charges for it. I wouldn't be able to afford my health care in the US.

My son has a chronic illness that requires medication that is $10,000. A month in the US, but only $100. Or less in other countries. Many insurances don't cover it. As we have been looking into it, it appears the US is the only country having to pay these outrageous prices. We may be paying for the other countries cheeper prices ( making up the difference). I've also heard that Congress was against investigating these crazy prices to reduce them. Maybe Congress gets a sweet pay off from the pharmaceutical companies.

US healthcare has nothing to do with health care. It’s a business all about profit.

If healthcare is so expensive that only a wealthy government can afford it, then it is too expensive. Healthcare needs to be affordable without the government footing the bill and without so-called insurance. We don't universally rely on the government for rent, mortgage payments, or for food for everyone, so why does the medical industrial complex get to charge whatever they want?

It getting more and more depressing and sad to hear America’s healthcare plight. I just can’t imagine the things you go through sick in the US, I don’t understand why both our countries (though I love my counties health system) don’t follow suit with Sweden or somewhere actually good to people

But our "cOsTs ArE rIsInG"... My a$$! Because fuel went up $ doesn't mean the cost of the products went up $$. We (consumers) aren't stupid, we know when we're being gouged. And, as consumers, we have the power to wreak havoc on your bottom line. Personally, I don't buy name-brand anything. It's just not worth paying more for. Boycotting these vultures will eventually get the point across.

Use Aldi's. good and much cheaper.

I never cared for chips because they get stuck in my teeth. Also, I'd eat the whole bag if I ate one.

i go to dollar tree and buy the bags of chips there. its basically the same thing and i pay 1.25 instead of 4-5$

What's going on with Pepsi?

How they can rationalise a Service fee on top of delivery charges is beyond me. What service did you provide? It's done online!
