What do you refuse/hate spending money on?

Bras, minumum £35, argh!!
Clothes for me, I'd be happy in my scruffs but others would complain like DP who said 'Get some new jeans without holes in!'
Kids shoes because they grown out of them so darn quick!
TV licence, all that for BBC and it's !!!!!!!
Sky Movies - now all the good stuff is extra or on HD that is extra so cancelled it
ATM charges, just refuse now haven't used one for 3 years
0870 numbers, love the https://www.saynoto0870.com site!
Icecreams etc when at parks, play areas £2 for a lolly! Like heck am I!
Ever increasing parking charges
Inflatted postage charges

Delivery charges. Isn't it enough that you spend 100's even 1000's of pounds with a large company and then they charge you delivery charge!!!!

Great Thread

I Hate;

- Paying Motorway Service Station Prices for ANYTHING, when there is usually a supermarket very close to the next junction. :mad:

- Paying Airport Parking Fees, which rise as the cost of air travel falls.:mad: :mad:

- Paying Council Taxes, for reduced services and a monthly 'magazine' which tells me how good the council is. :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

I Refuse to pay;

- Sky, or any other pay TV service, with the exception of my normal TV licence.

- 'In-store' warranty cover, when there are manufacturers' warranties AND Consumer Rights.

- For 'shoddy' or unfinished work.

I hate paying for parking even when I can claim it back from work as expenses, I refuse to pay for Sky TV as it's just a load of rubbish on hundreds of channels instead of just 5.

Great thread!

Things I refuse to pay for:
Charges at ATM machines
Expensive bottled water
£2 for a cup of coffee in a polystyrene cup
Extended warranties on electrical items

Things I hate paying for:
Petrol, car tax, car insurance, car repairs and anything else to do with running a car
Interest on my debts
Booking fees on concert tickets
Private dentistry because the Government has destroyed the NHS Dentist system
Hospital parking especially when they charge you twice for 2 visits in the same day
The war in Iraq - would love to be able to withold the portion of my taxes that is being spent there (and in Afghanistan)
Dry cleaning
The generous index linked pensions for politicians who have ensured that the majority of ordinary people will not have a decent pension
Lengthy phone calls to so called "customer service" departments where the people cannot help you when you finally get through

Things I don't mind paying for:
TV licence - the thought of ads on BBC TV or radio gives me the horrors though I resent the fact that I can no longer pay for the licence at my local post office
Prescription charges for me (DH has chronic illnesses so gets his free so it seems OK that I pay on the odd occasion I need something)
