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.

nothing sadder than a guy losing his hair.....

It is quite tragic.

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.

(I do love shopping for bags/purses though)

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.

yea 99% percent of my clothes from one ONE store and the vast majority of that is ordered from their website.

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 hate paying to check-in a bag on an airplane. Not that long ago I was smoking on planes and drinking for free. Now I have to pay to check my bag, damn.

anything "essential".

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?!?!?"
