Things that are inexplicably expensive.

[malificent7]

Cauliflower...i paid nearly a pound for a tiny little thing in Aldi...daylight robbery.
Egg chairs...look lovely and fun but why are they hundreds of pounds ??
Halo top icecream...nearly a fiver for a tub...no thank you.
Please can i have some more nominations?

Puppies were that price pre-covid! You are looking at 2-3k now.

Taps

Kids magazines, 10 pages of 'activities' and plastic tat. You'd think you'd get a discount for an annual subscription - nope, eye-watering!

Stand mixers. Why can I get a hand mixer for £20, but a stand mixer is between £250-£500?

Lego - my four year old can build a set for his age in an hour then he wants another one!

I live in the US and food is insanely expensive here.

Milk - $3.89 half gallon
Bread - $5.99
Chicken - $8.99 per lb
Raspberries - $4.99

Insurance is outrageous
Home- $3500 a year
Car 1 - $1600 a year
Car 2 - $1000 a year
Don’t get me started on health insurance!

Doughballs- from a supermarket- even supermarket own brands are so expensive, for a few tiny pieces of dough- why?

Printer ink....what is it? The tears of unicorns

And coloured by fairies. At least that's what the price would suggest.

'designer clothes'

Why does it cost 100000 as much for the same old tat, just because some x rated celebrity wears it?

Tea towels.

They're like, £7.99.

Wow!!

Don’t get me started on health insurance!

I used to make all our curtains, tie backs, cushion covers. The price of fabric became insane, add on linings, hooks, header tape, zips. I worked out it was cheaper to buy ready made.

@speakout, those UK prices aren't right.

MikeUniformMike

Why? That's what I pay.

Smartphones - prices seem to have got out of control
Light bulbs
Butter
Trainers

The cost of having my hair cut and coloured at a hair salon - I pay it but this lockdown has made me think that I don't actually need to do it as often...my hair feels great for not having it done now the salons are closed.

Another vote for dishwasher tablets. WTF are they made from, palladium? They're ludicrously expensive. There MUST be a cheap alternative that does exactly the same thing, surely?

Toothpaste, antihistamines, printer ink, pull ups - the night time ones for older children.

@thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter try The Phoenix.Its about £12 a month subscription and arrives weekly ( at least it does when Royal Mail are working normally). No plastic tat and best of all no flipping adverts and my DS loves it ( hes 7 year 3)

Greetings cards from a specialist shop, i.e. not a chain or supermarket
Children's pyjamas
Vegan food

Blinds...
More expensive than the flipping windows.

Can you tell i just got a quote of €975 for one plantation Blind🙄

My sister told me a book she wanted was £75. We agreed that was a ludicrous price. I looked it up and found it was £7.50. She really needs to go to specsavers. But I won't tell her I'll just look good when I give her the book.

@justasking111 last time i made cushion covers it was cheaper to buy a cheap cushion cover from ikea and reuse the zip than just buy the zip on its own!

I had NO idea food in the States was expensive

This hideous designer dress and similar.

Printer ink!! More expensive than gold per weight!!
