Nightclubs that charge an entrance fee. I could have a free night in instead, and my bathroom doesn't stink either.

whenever i pay for anything i like to see what i'm getting for my money.
so for me i'd prob say the yearly car service. costs £129 for a gold service. the renault dealer wanted £250 for the same service so pleased we got it alot cheaper from a decent garage. but for that money it pays for things i can't see in the engine. i know we need it, and when spent about £8k on a car were gonna look after it. but it doesn't feel like i'm getting anything for the money imo.0 -
Postage and packing that is extortionate for the article I have bought. I usually do without or try to find somewhere cheaper; many companies have lost a sale to me by overcharging on this.Aspire not to have more but to be more.

At the moment, lightbulbs! I have discovered that my light fittings are peculiar and only 3 pin energy saving bulbs will fit (I didn't even know they existed). 'Luckily' someone I work with can get me some for cheaper than i've found online, but I still resent spending over £5 on ONE bulb. I can't change the fitting either as I rent and i'm not going to mess about with electrics!
Apart from that, I have just accepted that there's certain things that have to be paid for whether I like it or not!Grocery challenge - Nov: £52/£100

I resent having to pay to park at the hospital. We had to go quite frequently when I was pregnant and at £3 a time it soon adds up! It's not even as if I could have walked there instead :-(.Must get organised and rejoin grocery challenge!0
