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

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

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

Goes for most fast food nowadays.

It is so expensive now.

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.

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.

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

Even thrifting is far more expensive now than a few years ago. Resellers like EBay, Gilt, Poshmark, RealReal are just scalping used clothing. I refuse to participate in thrift auctions or pay twice the value of any item.

This is me. I bought a ps4 and discovered all these cool games after almost 20 years of not playing. RDR2, the Batman Arkham games, the Last of Us. So fun.

starbucks is truly the worst coffee chain the world. their coffee is hands down the worst. I dont know how or why anyone would buy anything from starbucks. Its just awful. Even their black coffee is awful. How do you mess up black Coffee?

Only pick up, no more delivery for me.

And thanks to Amazon it's only going to get worse! Not only are you expected to pay monthly for the privilege of giving them more money for whatever items you may need, but their aim is to drive all your local stores out of business so that you don't have any other options. And they sell to their resellers who offer the same goods on the same website for twice the price or more.

If I absolutely must have the brand name, I'll wait until it's on sale and stock up.

I really wanted a fit bit or similar smart watch for the health benefits, but then I realized that it would trap me into constant updates and upgrades, which I can't afford. You simply cannot buy just one 'smart' device and EVERYTHING is a forced subscription now.

That's why I stop at the Liquor store, grab a couple bottles and go home to drink, don't even need a Designated Driver then 😁

$60 is insane in and of itself. There is no way I'd pay that much for two hours of bowling.

Check to see if your city or town has an income-based dental clinic. The town I lived in for a decade (pop. 50,000) has one and they provided a good service for a reasonable cost. (Siding scale) the biggest downside was the wait for a first visit, but after that they would schedule you for your upcoming visits so you’d be guaranteed a spot.

You shouldn't be drinking that much soda, anyways.

Please never be afraid to ask for assistance. There are so many foodbanks and charities out there. There is no pride lost in needing help or assistance.

Same with hair, a cut and colour is $160 plus, no way. Home colour, budget trims and embrace the grey when I can't be bothered colouring myself anymore.

there is a higher possibility that you as the DIY'r will cause new problems and do a poor job. You are paying the plumber a lot because he has insurance and knows what he is doing. Sure some jobs can be done by the average home owner but keep your skill level in mind. Just because you saw a youtube video doesn't mean you know what you're doing. Know your limits. source- guy who is paid to unfuck a lot of things that DIY'r f**k up.

If that's an option, great for you!

It's always been expensive.

Non-dairy meals like Amy's. I absolutely love mac and cheese but I can only have non-dairy mac and cheese and now the price is $7 for a microwavable mac and cheese that I can have. 😡 It's now the rare luxury. I haven't found a good recipe for non-dairy mac and cheese. So they might be adding sugar etc like one commenter has said. But damn I miss mac and cheese

Pumped full of water so the weight is falsely inflated 😡

Thankfully I live in Wisconsin and like stinky feet cheese which is meant to be eaten a bit at a time.

Trendy burger joints are going down, people are rediscovering their will to grill thank God.

So overpriced and they have been raising prices so much over the last couple of years.

I built my gaming PC in 2009. It's still going. Just cant run anything post 2013/2014 well.

Not ever!

I would not consider oysters an every day product...

Buy it 2nd hand. We got tons of lego duplo in this house but ca 90% of it were bought 2nd hand or just gifted to us.

Mum loves grapes, I have to hunt for specials and smaller quantities and can only afford 1 purchase every 3 weeks or so when in season just to stay on budget. It's such an abundant fruit, it has to be price gouging
