Grilled cheese sandwiches. Some diners charge over $4 for 2 pieces of bread with 2-3 pieces of cheese.

Ha, yup.

We really don't go to the diner anymore because it seems like you can't get out of one these days without paying $30.00-$40.00 for a basic meal.

And that's not including the tip. With DS I always feel guilty not leaving at least $5.00 because he makes a mess.

LED lightbulbs



While these are more expensive they are good for the environment and last ALOT longer than a regular light bulb so it probably somewhat evens out in the end with how often you purchase and your electric bill.

Razors. DH has horrible skin and a bad in grown hair problem and the only razor that works for him is the Fusion. A four pack is $15 and the big pack at BJ's is around $42!!! I wish he just wouldn't shave, he looks great with a beard but he has to for work, it's a requirement, and has to for the fire dept.

Organic Food. I think it stinks that if you want healthy food without chemicals and hormones that you have to pay an arm and a leg. I cut back a lot in order to give this to my son but I feel like it's really important. I wish all of us could afford all organic but it's just too expensive.

The replacement razor cartridges on my DH's razor. I hate buying them, they are so expensive it drives me mad.

greeting cards! there's no reason to charge $4.99 for something that's going to be thrown out. i always hit the 99 cent aisle!

Paper towels- I was going to start a pist recently, but never did about how I want to drastically reduce my paper towel usage. This urge was spawned by paying over 7 bucks for 2 jumbo rolls of bounty in the supermarket.

Aluminum foil

Bags of any kind (trash, storage etc.- I only buy name brand for these- I think they''re better)

Cleaning products can seriously clean out your wallet.

Cookies-like ores- I mean $4.99 or more for ores? Thank goodness I don't have a sweet tooth!

Feminine hygiene products!!!!! Chat Icon
