    over the counter medicine, in general...most of it doesn't do shit and it's absurdly expensive.

    when I get sick, I just gut it out.

    if they made something for a hangover that worked, I'd pay any price. but they don't...so I take some kirkland ibuprofen that doesn't do anything but is cheap.

    Menudo is great for hangovers. And cheap.
    What is it?? Where do u get it?? I'll need it on Sunday
    You are in luck because it is served only on weekends at many places. Not sure if they have lots of Mexican food places in Sydney but if it is a good one, odds are they will make a mean Menudo.
    Menudo is a soup made with Tripe (cow stomach) and red chili peppers. It is awesome -- may sound not-so-great but if you have had some good Menudo you will dig it. (I have not used it for hangover battling purposes but I may have to try some time.)

    I can't stand buying batteries.
    Thanks! Not sure they have that round these parts, only Tex Mex restaurants where I live. I might have to settle with a nice spicy Thai Laksa instead.

    I hate buying those little sockette things you wear with flat shoes for work. They cost $5-$10 a pair & I only seem to get a few wears out of them before they disappear. I might have lost hundreds of the suckers!! WTF do they go???

    Education. I honestly think knowledge be obtained freely.. Yet I understand the need for teachers and professors being paid.

    Totally agree with you on this one - the one thing the commies got right

    Yep!

    And I also hate buying electronics.. Too much hassle for the fact that's it's obsolete by the time you walk out the door..

    I am not drinking any Mandingo soup.
    Just saying.

    I cant stand buying cereal. I love cereal, dont get me wrong. I cant stand buying cereal because of the cost. We go through so much of it and that shit is expensive. If I buy the Wegmans/Shop Rite brands the family revolts even though it tastes pretty much the same. And dont get me started on Organic Fucking Cereal.

    But some organic fucking cereal can be quite tasty and if you get it on sale . . . There is an Amish surplus store that we frequent when we are in the area. They aren't much into buying the organic products in the box (or at least not the people who patronize the store are) so I can buy a ton of organic cereal, pasta and other products much cheaper than the standard grocery shelf equivalent. (A dollar for a box of organic cereal, 60 cents for organic soup or pasta. And yes, I only purchase in date.)

    Paper plates. I only use them once a year for my daughter's birthday party. We have enameled metal camping plates we wash when we go tent camping. We have standard dishes we use every day. Paper plates are a waste.

    24 for 12? Holy crap!
    I went to the booze store with the wife yesterday and loaded up for our memorial day weekend party. $400..... But I had to make 3 trips to carry it all in to the bar.
    I can't stand buying booze in NJ.....only because they don't sell it at Costco here and it would have been 25% cheaper.

    Also I can't stand buying food for picnics/pool parties like these. Even with burgers/dogs/corn and sides people dont realize how much this shit adds up to. 40 people eat and drink a lot!

    Me too. I love it. I have to do it alone because I am so slow about it that I would drive anyone with me nuts (I am capable of doing it fast when i have to though). I consider it a pleasurable activity rather than something I have to do.

    paper towels...use the kitchen towel so I can wash it! paper towels are for gross things...like when the dog barfs on the floor.

    Has anyone mentioned stuff from the beauty supply store? Like make-up (I don't even wear much of it, but jeez! Some of the basic shit is either overpriced or the color/quality is off), shampoo, conditioner and face/body creams.

    I have to buy curly hair shampoo. It's not cheap at all but then it helps me to have hair that doesn't look like I put my hand on a Van de Graaff generator.

    "no poo" =)

    I've got curls too! Been using Redken and Shea Moisture products; will definitely check out the one in your link. Actually, I think my sister gave me a sample of their conditioner and I never pursued it after I used it up.

    People with hair like us know a good product is hard to find, so well worth the investment.

    (I love the rain, but curse how it makes me a frizz-head sometimes)
