tires for the car...had to get all 4 last week, ugh...Chat Icon



UGH is right. I had to get all new ones for my Civic which was just not even a year old in Dec. Luckily it was because of a defect and recall Honda paid for half or I would have been Chat Icon .

I also agree with bras and deoderant.

Claritin - when it was a prescription it was $5 for a month's supply (with a prescription plan), now that it's an OTC medication it costs $30

It's ridiculous that healthy food is so much more expensive than the crap they process and sell. I mean, I understand it, but I just don't like it.Chat Icon

Re: Necessary items that are annoyingly expensive

Basically I agree with all PP.

Mine are-
copays for Doctors (25 a pop-all specialists)-can I consider this an item?
Rx Meds-especially the ones that they don't have generic-35 Chat Icon
Feminine products (I agree with the PP that it is bad enough we get it, and then you get slammed again at the register
OTC meds, like for allergies or plain Tylenol
Milk
Bottled water (I can't stand tap water)
healthy food
For me-my glasses/contacts-my vision is horrible-means I pay extra.

At this point I think ALL items are expensiveChat Icon

I've been needing contact solution for days now. I'm dreading having to spend all that money on it, so i've put it off lol



Go to your eye doctors and see if they have any samples Chat Icon



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



When I saw this thread my first thought was contact solution too. I can't use generic either. It has to be optifree or my eyes get irritated and it's so $$ Chat Icon

ITA! I hate that to cook a nice healthy meal it is like $10 a person. You can just get fast food for like 3 bucks. It should be the other way around.

I see it this way, you are paying extra to live. I think that is worth it.
