Toner/printer ink

I shop sales for razors, shampoo, soap, toothpaste, cereal, etc. I stock up when they are good prices. As for greeting cards, costco sells this box of really nice greeting cards for $15 for 30 cards. I feel like it is a good deal for someone who is invited to a lot of kids birthday parties and needs greeting cards.

Razors, bras, cereal, organic meats, children clothing and shoes (they outgrow it so quick), going to the vet ( i wish i could add them to our health insurance - where paying a ton already, they should be included), make-up, coffee (take out kind)

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.




YES! DH uses the same razor- it's the only one that he doesn't break out with! It's so expensive.

I totally agree with the pizza and movie tickets, too. I can't even believe how expensive pizza is. Olive oil, but I've always found that very pricey.

Get fusion blades on Amazon. They are $33 for 12 and if you do a subscription (which you can change/cancel at any time) it is $28 for 12.

Bottled water... especially the brands that are just tap water in bottles, like Dasani and Aquafina.... Chat Icon



ITA! Charging for water when it's so readily available for free is a crime.

$5 for a greeting card is obscene too.

Razors
Bra's
Salad at the dinner- $15 for a salad, yet for the same $15 you can get a cup soup, side salad, rolls, meat w/ potato and veggie, dessert and drink....




for previous posters:
printer ink- not so expensive for HP at Bj's wholesale - 2 black and 1 color bundled.

detergent - there is a really cheap brand over at Walmart that works fine, extra I think.

Iced Coffee vs Coffee. WHY?



i know why... because iced coffee is stronger than regular coffee... and usually a small iced is wayyy bigger than a small regular... so youre getting stronger coffee and more coffe...

Bras. It never ceases to amaze me how I have to spend close to $50 for a good bra.
