Things you think are overpriced

[FunkyTime]

I will start

Dominoes Pizza 100%

A medium latte from Costa is now £3.

Designer anything
Most branded foods
Extras when booking flights, car hire etc. (Booked a week's car hire yesterday for holiday in Spain. Little booster seat for 8-12 yo £77 to hire for the week ).

@HeronLanyon came here to say the same about trains. It’s cheaper for us (south of England) to travel to France or Belgium on a whim than it is to go up north. And it takes roughly the same amount of travel time.

@lazylinguist buy a booster seat at halfords £15 and don't bring it back you might even get another person to buy it at car hire place on way home
the one from car hire place won't be better ot safer

Just went to a café and they were charging £7 for a jacket potato and topping. Ridiculous.

I don't think tradespeople are overpriced at all, they rarely earn a fantastic wage. I can't understand why people expect a builder to build them an extension, possibly knocking out walls of their existing house and ensuring the whole thing doesn't come toppling down, and pay them not much above NMW. And it is often the builder who discovers issues in the architect/surveyor's plans, so not as simple as just following a set of instructions from someone else.

Dominos isn’t too bad. Our local one does any large pizza, garlic pizza bread, wedges and cookies for £15.99 delivered and always leaves us both stuffed and works out cheaper than when we order Chinese etc

Trains
Rents

Gig tickets - extortionate
Public transport
Petrol
3 ply toilet rolls
OTC medicines

Laundry tablets... £10 for a tub?!
And then the supermarket own brands thinking they can charge a fiver for their own shite knock offs

School shoes. And shoes especially for wider feet. Ok, so they use a bit more material but not that much more.

Train tickets. I would visit my elderly parents far more often if I could afford the trains going 200 miles north. DD went interrailing last year and the prices of train journeys on the Continent were vastly cheaper. I'm talking about journeys outside of her ticket.

Buses round here, in Hertfordshire. Cheaper to get a taxi into town if there's more than one person travelling. And the day saver ticket at nearly a fiver is cheaper than a return to town on a 30 min circular bus route. I.e, 30 mins into town and ten minutes home.

Flooring. I've been rocking a Bedouin tent style series of rugs on ny floor as I can't afford to put carpet or laminate down. I would happily buy lino or vinyl but even that is out of reach currently.

I'm sure I'll think of more.

I totally agree perfume, cosmetics and skin care are a fortune! After being a slave to the high street for years I've recently switched over to products from FM world. A fraction of the price and great quality

Gem isn't that an MLM? Are you a bot?

Perfume. I refuse to buy it.

Bottled water at airports

Soft play centre ridiculously overpriced in general but 360 Jesus wept!
Kids magazines/comics
Gin in bars/pubs

I met up with some folk in a bar last night... £8 for a cocktail that was 75% ice and about 2" of none-ice fluid. wtaf.

yy to cinema tickets, amusement park tickets, tickets to watch professional sport, a lot of clothing brands, anything 'designer' of course.

Anything from Next

Holidays in school holiday time

Cinema tickets are cheap! Less than a fiver and just take your own snacks. 2 for 1 on tues and weds too.

Most cosmetics

Cinema snacks. Dd wanted a slushy. It cost more than the price for seeing the film.
Ice skating.
Vegetarian food in restaurants.
Fuel for the car.
Public transport for shit service (in the north)
Washing powder.
Buying extra energy on Lemmings.

Theatre and gigs.

Houses especially with stamp duty

Bottled water that's free from the tap. Never bought it and never will.

Bus travel

Train travel

Parking in some places (I bothered it's quite reasonable)

Certain branded clothing. I don't want to pay £65 for a sweatshirt just because it's a certain brand. My teens disagree.

Glasses. I'd rather pay more for an eye test and have cheaper glasses.

Sun screen.

Doctor Martens. They were only £30 ish when I was young. I'd don't think their price increase is inline with inflation.

Gas and electricity.

Gin.

NHS dental charges.

Vegetarian food in restaurants

Totally this! Like an aubergine costs as much as a lamb shank!! I know.... economies of scale, different skill set, made to order etc, etc, etc, but it really grates!
