Things you could afford but choose not to spend on?

Things you could afford but don't bother with/choose not to spend on.

Inspired by the cleaning thread.
What could you afford but don't have/do?

A cleaner, just do it ourselves.
A long haul holiday. No interest.

You poor woman did the peasants not notice how much you spent? Nobody cares except you! Your the person that always has to say the brand got to make sure we know you spent lots 😂😂😂😂 most designer shit is made in China these days your not getting anything special because it cost more

Regular haircuts. Ever since the prices sky rocketed during Covid, along with everything else (and never went back down 🙄), I decided to stop going to the hairdressers on a regular basis. I now just go to local the walk in one about once a year at most. My hair isn’t in bad condition because I don’t mess around with it so I don’t feel like it really looks any worse.

Are you quite well? You sound very angry. You're also very wrong.

Agree with this.

During my latest appointment they wanted to charge me extra just for running straighteners through my hair after blow drying it. Never been charged for this before. Absolute robbery.

I always feel that it’s only ever the cook themselves that thinks their food is ‘better ‘ than a restaurant. Everyone else is probably secretly longing to be eating out !

They can pay then.

How do you get away with once a year id look like Rapunzel if I left it that long.😜😞🤔

What I begrudge most is being charged more for a simple trim because I’m a woman, than a man would. I can’t believe in this day and age that they’re still allowed to do this.

It just proves it’s a massive rip off.

And I thought it was just me!

I’m interested in other places, history and culture, but I prefer it in the telly.

I do realise this is heresy nowadays 😄

At some point all of the EU blends together and doesn't look all that different

Er…not in my experience. Cultural differences in Europe still exist despite the constant pressure to homogenise everything.

Vice la difference! Or is it ‘le’?

Depends on the restaurant, surely.

Cleaner
designer bags and clothes
coffee
over priced supermarkets - I get an odd box or M&S for fruit and veg and Aldi for the rest

Brand new, state of the art designer puppies. I prefer a slightly worn in little chap who's now looking for forever love. Rescue is the best breed!

Eating in pubs and restaurants - 9 times out of 10 I am disappointed and have indigestion as well (never get it at home where I cook from scratch)

Yes you make a good point. But a trip to let's say Kerala would give you a widely different experience than trips to Paris, Rome or Munich.
