    I used to shave my head thinking I would save money on haircuts every month. Yea right. I'd get 2 shaves on my head before I needed to replace a razor. I use the Mach 4s or 10s, or whatever the newest Mach razor is. I ended up spending just as much on razors as I would on haircuts over an 18 month period of shaving my head.

    Lol. I wasn't losing it then. And it all grew back. Now, is a different story. My hairline is moving like Dave lettermans. In 5 years, I'll have an island of hair on top of my head.

    shipping...fucking rip-off. Here in Washington, we even get charged SALES TAX on shipping. I will buy more stuff just so I can get free shipping.

    Shoes. It's so hard for me to find a pair of athletic shoes that a) are comfortable, b) fairly inexpensive, and c) don't look like they were dipped in a vat of Skittles vomit.

    Swiffer Sweeper refills. Fuck are they ever expensive! I have to grit my teeth every time I buy them.... But nothing works better with the pet hair.

    Sooooo love those things!
    They're great! But when you have to use one every day, with only one use each, you're suddenly spending a shit load on the fucking things.
    I found some microfiber cloths that were specifically made for the swiffer sweeper, now I just toss those in the wash, I don't have to buy the disposables anymore.

    ...and cat litter is a waste of money. I hate clumping litter, tried a bunch of different 'natural litters' like Feline Pine, my cats didn't care so I finally switched to using those pellets they make for pellet stoves. Exact same thing as FP, no additives or glues since they are for burning. $5 for a 40# bag.
    That's exactly what we did too...

    Razor Blades

    The BIGGEST RIPOFF known to mankind.
    Really? $20 for fucking razors?
    And of course I cant by the throwaways, because they tear my face apart.
    Hell no.
    I can only use the most expensive blades on the market.
    Hahaha
    Try shave club. I'm in the same boat with the ripped apart face

    I shave my head...been doing it for 2-3 years now. I also thought I would save money because of no haircuts, but it ends up about the same.

    Not sure about shave club after reading this
    http://lifehacker.com/5903771/forget-dollar-shave-clubbuy-the-same-high-quality-razors-for-a-third-of-the-price

    You can get a pack of 24 razors at the dollar store for $3. (where I am anyway)
    They are good for one or two shaves only if you shave every morning.
    It's a clean shave everyday.

    I can't stand buying saran wrap.
    I don't know how I use an entire roll so fast, it just seems to disappear.

    Gas... You might as well set your money on fire!
    Cat litter... You might as well put your cash in the box and have your cat shit on it.
    Water (tap is awful here)... All those fn jugs! Ugh!
    Bananas... Can never eat them in time before they turn to a brown mush pile on your counter.
    Like Speedy said, anything from Walgreens/CVS...Little old lady at the checkout judging me and my purchases!
    Printer ink...my company pays for it but man...it's such a pain in the ass having to get more and you always run out exactly at the worst time!
    Laundry soap... Can't explain this one but it makes me mad!
    Shoes... Shoe shopping is the absolute fn worst!
    Beer... Because I know I'm out, I don't want to be out, I just want it there at all times.
    Ice... Like I said...tap water here sucks so I can't make my own. Bag is awkward to carry, it's cold as shit, it often breaks open, and it's usually a solid block that you have to bash to get a couple cubes for your drink!

    Clothes. Most people seem to like shopping for clothes, but I don't. All that changing in and out of items, trying to guess the right size, trying to see if anything goes with something else. It's all tedious.

    I hear ya! I despise shopping for clothes! My method is to walk into a store, turn around in a circle, and if nothing catches my eye I walk out of the store.
    I don't own very many clothes. :lol:

    (I do love shopping for bags/purses though)

    Me three. I don't have the patience for it anymore - the ordeal, the people, the sense of feeling overwhelmed.

    Thank god for the ability to order online.

    Same for me. Can't stand any of it. Shirts. Shoes. Pants. Socks. Underwear. I hate trying stuff on in the little dressing rooms.

    If I had the money I'd pay someone to shop for me. Just give them my measurements and tell them what stores to go to and they could text me pictures of stuff and I'd reply if I like it or not.

    Feminine items. I mean, you guys might want to take a stroll down that aisle and see the prices on the variety of pink boxes they offer us. I'm glad that they exist, don't get me wrong, but they are sinfully expensive. My husband is kind and will buy them at Sam's Club for me. "Make, model and serial number" is the text I get. Still-- EXPENSIVE!

    There has been talk recently about how taxing feminine hygiene products is an unfair and sexist tax. Like, taxing pads and tampons is a tax that ONLY women pay, and they have no choice about buying the product. It's not a product we can reasonably live without, so many are saying they should be tax free like groceries are. I tend to agree with this argument, but also never once thought about it until I heard this topic come up in the news.

    I usually just get the 12 pack for Bic sensitive razors that are cheap at the 99 cent store. Hate having to buy more clothes, though. Have to get some shorts soon since it's getting hotter in a few months for work.

    Cold medicine as an emergency is a pain as well. I usually get the store brand alka seltzer.

    Why has none of the males said products for their significant others when aunt flo comes to visit. It was yet another time when a piece of my soul died when I finally agreed to start picking them up when at the store for my queen. I still to this day though bury them in the cart and use the self scan station. I only have about 40% of my soul left so I have to be careful.

    I have NEVER in my life purchased for "aunt flo"
    I never will.
    Not happening


    nor have I.

    altho, once at work I was really on the rampage.....my subordinates left me a present.....mrs. imalive was pissed I didn't bring the gift home and said "do you know much those cost?!?!?"

    My husband figures that I have purchased things specifically for him and not things that I would ever use myself, so he really doesn't care. In the end, the cash out folks know you aren't the one using it. I'm sure that the receipt checker at Sam's knows that he's not using the Tampax Pearl Super 96 count box either.
