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?

John Lewis do an eighty five pound laundry basket.

Brabantia bins.

Our local shop was charging £2.85 for a little cauliflower!

Glasses. If they can make and sell reading glasses for £1 in poundland, why on earth are my distance ones so expensive? It's not like I've chosen to have poor eyesight, I need them.

Off topic but we had a mouse squatting in our garage and all it ate was a bit of the curd on a cauliflower, a nibble on an aubergine and a bit of some pasta. Perhaps they put something in the caulis.

French Bulldogs
For a dog that’s bloody part terrier and as far as I’m aware doesn’t even come from France originally 😂 they are eye watering expensive
Anything from £2000 - £5000 upwards with some being advertised at £10,000
And don’t get me started on insurance for them It’s a postcode lottery as to what it will cost you to insure them

Lightbulbs I’m sure I remember getting a lightbulb for a £

"we had a mouse squatting in our garage and all it ate was a bit of the curd on a cauliflower, a nibble on an aubergine and a bit of some pasta"

They don't need much unfortunately.

AHippoNamedBooBooButt try one of the on line sites.

Mine were £9

Just put your prescription in and choose your frames

Kitchen bins!

Fabric - I wanted some heavyweight fabric to make some curtains but it was cheaper to buy them made.

I bought some of those Mahabi slippers once as someone on here reckoned they lasted a lifetime - £75 and they got holes in them after 6 months of wear.

I also think bras and underwear generally is eye-wateringly expensive.

Does it hover and self-remove to the washing machine where it obligingly self-sorts to your preference and load the machine?

Cantarella Sugarly
Great for baking DH being diabetic but for goodness sakes it’s a bit of aspartame or whatever - do they need to charge about 8 times the price of normal granulated sugar?

SERIOUSLY if anyone has any cheaper suggestions let me know!!!

Replacement batteries for cordless appliances, I think some people blissfully buying cordless stuff will get a shock when they eventually need to replace the batteries.

Those including the price of vegetables and eggs should try other suppliers than supermarkets, we pay £1.40 fror a dozen lovely eggs from a farm, never had a supply problem either.

Thrush tablets and creams
Olive oil
Coconut oil
Nuts
Washing liquid
Drain unblocking liquid
Delivery charges, today I decided no to order something because standard delivery was £4.99, not even a courier.
I also sell a lot of stuff online and a cost for sending a small parcel in the post office seem to rise by 10pence every half a year, I think in 2025 you’ll pay a tenner to send a book

Its not just that the post office is pretty expensive, its that if your package is 5mm too wide you end up paying over £3 instead of 88p.

Curtains!

Those specified widths are not accidental.

I was recently sending some cards to friends, where I included some jelly sweets. I put the envelopes under a 30kg weight for a couple of days to flatten them enough to fit into the cheaper size. Sweets still tasted yummy I'm told!

Pistachios!

beachmist God yes. Nuts generally, actually. Pine nuts are currently about £8 for a small tray in a corner shop near me. I just can't bring myself to hand over that much money.

@IntermittentParps that is unbelievable! Loving your username

Thanks!

Sun cream - thank goodness for the likes of Aldi and Lidl.

Vanilla pods!! £6 Sainsbury's
