Next week I will post the most common results from my comments. Which means though that you will have to comment.. I will even say who the idea came from and linky link to your own blog! I have been having so much fun blog surfing and made me realize my blog is so insignificant out there, but I will still plug away at it since I have been terrible at journaling!
So do share with me what you think is seriously overpriced!

I totally agree with the feminine products and toilet paper! I've said before that I think it's too expensive but they can put the price at whatever they want because they know people will pay it because people need those products.
A couple things I think are overpriced:
-Cat/dog food
-Cheese
-Bottled juice (like cranberry juice!)
-Laundry detergent
-Jeans!
-Frozen pizza
-Mascara
What a good idea for a blog post!
-baby clothes (they are a tenth of the size, shouldn't they be a tenth of the price)?
-produce (no wonder so many Americans are over weight, it cost an arm and a leg to eat healthy)
-milk

I may not be the best candidate for this seeing where I live and all but I think in Canada no matter where you live Milk is way overpriced. They can regulate alcohol's prices but not milk??? Um what?
And should I have a conversation about how I feel about Auto Insurance and what a scam it is? Just sayin'.
I posted about it here on my blog with a link back to you. Thanks for the post. I ♥ your blog..

In our world, I think my husband's hair product (Axe Hair Pomade) is crazy expensive. As are many other hair products - I use simple mousse, and wait for sales.
Also, I know the next one can totally be avoided with planning - but buying lunches at work. When I started work (about seven years ago), I could find salad and sandwhich for $5 - which was okay. Now, the cheapest anywhere for the same is $7 - and you are more often in the $8 something range. I'll just need to get in the habit.
On some of the stuff above:
- frozen pizza? I refuse to buy unless it is under $5 and preferably under $4 - I just have to wait for Walmart sales.
- and baby formula - ooh yes.
Great blog - I stopped by from MBC and am now following and would love if you did the same.

baby formula
milk
shampoo/conditioner
hair dye (if you do it yourself at home)
some produce is ungodly expensive!
baby gear (ie strollers, exersaucers, jumperoos, swings, etc.) you only use them for such a short period of time, then you can't anymore
