    Printer ink. WTF does it cost so much?

    Yeah, really. Why??? I was just looking up how much it would cost me to buy my own office printer ink, because my employer decided to stop funding individual desktop printer ink (want us to switch to communal printers). I love having my own though, so I looked into how much it would cost to provide my own ink... $112 for one cartridge?!?!?!?! What the fuuuuuuck??!?! No wonder my office doesn't want to pay for it. I just thought they were being cheap, lol.

    Ugh - agreed about razors. I use the same kind as Speedy and am amazed (pissed off too) each time so much is shelled out for them.

    As to heavy stuff such as cat litter, water, etc...really thankful there's a grocery delivery service we get that from.

    Buy a laser printer. More expensive but you will save on ink 10 fold after a little bit.

    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.

    Not sure I get this perspective. I've bought them for my significant other and my daughter on several occassions. So what? Walk up and pay for them. Its not like I'm buying them for myself and they're obviously a necessity during that time. It has no impact on my manhood or my soul to do this for either of them.

    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.

    Razors

    Heart Guard for the dogs

    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
    I can't imagine what it's like to shave your face. I have tried a few differ electric razors for the hubs but he hates them says they just pull his hair....I'm not sure he's given it a chance but again I don't shave my face.
    Oh please let it rain today.

    You think buying feminine hygiene products sucks for a guy try being the female that has to shell out the coin(they aren't cheap) for something you are just going to throw away and you only need during the worst 5-10 days of the month. Thank Christ I never have to do that again. I also agree with the razors, biggest rip-off ever.
    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    At my work we occasionally do beard (not that kind of beard empty, I know what you are thinking) competitions for a couple months. Its really an excuse to not shave and to save cash on razors.

    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.

    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.
