Re: Necessary items that are annoyingly expensive

bra's annoy me the most because they say you should replace them every 6 months. That is nuts the only bras that fit me are like 45 so I need a complete replacement every 6?Chat Icon

Re: Necessary items that are annoyingly expensive

I completely agree with bras.

When we were growing up, my mom would try to space out our bra purchases (4 girls). But whenever we'd go, she'd come home with small bag and would have spent major $$$.


And razors are way expensive these days. When did that happen??

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 agree--medical costs are tough.

Re: Necessary items that are annoyingly expensive

I was thinking the exact same thing today! I dread my trips to Wal-mart for necessary items because I know I'm spending at least $50 & leaving with almost nothing Chat Icon

As for batteries, I've recently discovered that BJs has a 48 pack of AAs for $9.99. Much better than the 6 pack for $10 at the supermarket!
