Necessary items that are annoyingly expensive

I was thinking about this yesterday because I need all of the following:

*Batteries
*Printer ink
*Bras

These are everyday items that just seem like they shouldn't cost as much as they do!!!!

Post your own (or agree with mineChat Icon )

Re: Necessary items that are annoyingly expensive

I agree with these.

Also - baby food and formula! For the amount they produce, you would think it would cost alot less.

Oh, and don't forget ANYTHING wedding relatedChat Icon

Prescriptions..... Chat Icon Even with insurance, some medicine is ridiculously expensive. I understand that the drug companies need to recover the expense of discovering the drug, and to find new drugs, but it's still painful paying for them, especially when they are ongoing meds, and there are no generics available.

I agree! I have great insurance. Some of my meds have a $50 co-pay!! There is no generic yet. Stupidity!

I pay $70 for some of mine. I have insurance and pay an outrageous amount for this damn insurance Chat Icon Chat Icon And the premium is almost doubling. I am afraid of what the Rx amounts are going to be.

Or if your eyes can stand it, buy generic. I buy the Target brand - get two bottles in a package for under $6.

I tried the generic before and my eyes apparently can't stand it. They were red and itchy for weeks. Otherwise I definitely would

i'll have to ask for samples though, thanks! I never thought to do that
