“With all the added fees, especially cleaning fees, its cheaper to stay in a hotel.”
Even though we’re in 2024, prices on everyday items still have not gone down.
people had a lot of thoughts on the matter.
Here’s some of what they had to say:
1.
“Concert tickets.”
“A strange one, but bowling.
“This is the only bowling alley left in this medium-size city.
It used to be an AMF bowling alley before Bowlero.

3.“Medication.
My chronic illness requires an infusion at a $10,000 copay every seven weeks.
My yearly income is $60,000.
In America, it’s much cheaper to die.
I can get a lovely funeral for a one-time fee of $10,000.”
“Ads being added to Amazon Prime and Netflix was a breaking point for me.”

5.“Airbnb.
With all the added fees, especially cleaning fees, its cheaper to stay in a hotel.
Im not paying a $300 cleaning fee when Im the one cleaning!”
It used to be a go-to snack for camping, car trips, hikes, etc.
Now it’s just way too costly, and it feels like it’s lower-quality meat.”

“I feel like jerky is one of the worst values in the supermarket.
Big pouch, barely half filled, and it’s $10.
Its a shame, ‘cause Id rather patronize those boutique jerky places, but theyre even more expensive.”

“New video games.
Everything I get is on sale.
Turns out that you’re free to wait.”
u/Flat_Revolution5130
“I recently discovered that you’ve got the option to borrow them from the library!
Usually quicker than waiting for a sale, too, and it’s free.

9.“Soda.
I choose not to buy it.
“I used to adore exploring the cheese aisle, trying out unique flavors and textures.”

11.
“Getting my nails done.
My last nail visit cost nearly $100 after the tip and everything, just for a manicure.
I dont know how other women are affording salon visits these days.”
I tried to downgrade from the mall to Amazon, but that stuff is mostly trash.
I thrift now, and it’s not as bad as I anticipated.

I just said, ‘Fuck it I’ll work from home and get a bike.'”
Not worth the price, and the food quality is not there anymore.
And there are smaller portions for higher prices.”
They raised prices just over a year ago, and now it’s around $14.80.
I can’t justify that anymore.”

“Blonde balayage: $500 a pop, $350 for touch-ups.
It’s wild how much hair salons have increased prices in the last 510 years.”
