zacharyamelie Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Today I bought two halogen lightbulbs for outside, replacing my Christmas lights. For two bulbs it cost a whopping 16$....for freakin' lightbulbs! Another thing I find stupid pricey are razor blades. Do you have any everyday items that you find too bloody expensive?

glam_junkie Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Car parking... Fucking rip off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoff Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Car parking... Fucking rip off I think I've paid for parking literally one time in my entire life and it was only $2 for something completely necessary. I refuse to do it and will park 4km from a venue to avoid paying for parking, if it comes down to that. F*ck the c*nts. As for lightbulbs, 100% agree. We have 6 lightbulbs in our bathroom that needed replacing. After a trip to the supermarket we now have 3 working and 3 not. Just too expensive to get all 6, seriously. Ridiculous. For the record, the 3 bulbs are more than enough. I agree with razors but stopped buying close to a decade ago. Something else made me reconsider petty theft again the other day, but I can't think of it off the top of my head... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaHun72 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 Batteries. Sure you wait and stockpile when they're half price but fuck me does the cost pile up when you add 3 kids into the mix! Fuck parking and razors! Oh, and not sure if I was seeing things at the supermarket or not but isn't there now battery powered disposable razors? Double the $ pain!

5150 Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I buy rechargeable batteries only except AAA batteries. Panasonic Eneloop batteries are very good. I have found they last longer than your regular Duracell batteries. A little expensive but overtime they are cheaper than using regular batteries. Got them in everything from flashlights, gaming controllers, kids toys etc.... Not worth buying AAA batteries. I only have tv remotes that use those and they only run dry every couple of years.

Dead Planet Posted January 4, 2016 Report Share Posted January 4, 2016 I really like electric razors...only problem is that when the blades get dull, the replacement blades cost more than the original fucking electric razor.....so I do not use them....so my wish for the new year is that everyone making profits from razor sales drop dead...

simo Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 I don't have that problem but friends with kids tell me diapers are costing them a small fortune. Also I think if you work in the city and have to eat lunch somewhere it's almost impossible to find a place with reasonable prices. Sure it's not a ''household'' item but it's everyday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangerdave Posted January 6, 2016 Report Share Posted January 6, 2016 Just put "organic" in the product description and the fucking cost nearly doubles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think if you work in the city and have to eat lunch somewhere it's almost impossible to find a place with reasonable prices. Sure it's not a ''household'' item but it's everyday There are often "good" diaper/nappy specials which make the cost for the item not seem too bad. I think where it adds up so quickly is how many of them you actually go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
