That's a waste of money that is, so it is.

    What do you think is a waste of money that others don't?

    Me?

    New cars - depreciation is ridiculous. (Check out the bangernomics thread).

    Having to get the latest €500 phone and upgrade every year.

    Expensive toiletries. Shure it gets washed down the plug hole doesn't it?

    Going for a meal pissed - what a waste. Burger or kebab suffices when drunk.

    Y'all?

    Expensive meals full stop.

    I'll go because my partner likes it, but just don't see the point myself.

    Toilet paper. I prefer to use socks and throw them in with the washing or if it's a runny one, I relieve myself in the shower.

    Extended warranties, if it survives the first year, chances are it will last its lifetime - whatever time the manufactures decide that is (usually shorter than you'd like).

    Going to the same pubs every week, getting pissed with the same people every week, eating the same rubbish on the way home every week.

    I never thought of that. You can get multiple applications from the same garment as opposed to one or at the best two uses from a single sock.

    Flashy and expensive brand name deodorants. The air fresheners in the 2 euro shop smell much nicer and last twice as long.

    Most brand meats, the "own brands" are from the same fricken factories. Paying €9 for a chicken you can get with Tesco on the label instead for €4! MADNESS!!!!! It's the same. My partner went to a meat factory, he saw how it is done first hand! All the one what you buy, minus the difference of a fiver!

    Sky Movies, Same shíte on everyday for a week! I got it for 6 months for a complaint for free. 1-3 good movies a week, all of them on Film4 so meant fúck all!

    Expensive phones, I am sorry, but people feel they have to get the newest one, which is every 6-12 months, for 100's I have a shít pile I have had for 4 years! Left it in a coffee shop the other day, so shítty, it was still there when I came back looking for it!!!!

    Then there is all this BS around having kids too! People buying 900-1200e travel systems (buggies for kids usually up to 2 years old), are you for fúcking real? That's beyond insane.

    Designer label clothes, can't understand paying extra for a brand name. Better quality I'd pay extra for but a fookin logo, never.
