Great 'What do you hate spending money on the most?' Hunt
There are some things that people need, yet hate parting with their hard-earned £s for when the time comes, either because those things are boring, expensive and so on. We want to know what MoneySavers rue opening their wallets for the most.

As well agreeing with the other posters on the TV licence, water and council tax, my other pet hate is Electric/gas.
Last summer, I replaced 14 radiators in my house - replacing the old rusted ones for more efficient models sometimes relocated them to a better location. My winter quarter bill (even with the terrible weather last winter) was £120 less than the previous year so is paying for itself nicely.
I shop around constantly for the best deals but truth is that although our usage has gone down, sadly, overall, it can't compete with the price hikes and we are still steadily spending more year on year. Very frustrating.Thanks to MSE, I am mortgage free!0 -

Lady products and we have to pay VAT on them too! :eek:No longer using this account for new posts from 20130

I grudge paying the water rates: I could not understand why Welsh water rates cost so much more than the London water rates when we moved back!
Tinfoil, greaseproof paper etc - I re-use what I can & try to make the rolls last, but still have to give in sooner or later.
Edit: Another vote for 'lady products' & boo to the VAT slapped on top!I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.0
