Ive never bought one, but those pots of single serving cornflakes that you can buy in a pot for about 99p. You still have to add milk to them

Most of the ready meals, especially those billed as "premium" range from the like of M&S etc...

I will never pay 3-4 GBP for a single serving of a ready meal that I have to assemble and cook at home!

Why don't we see more gents having their facial hair permanently removed by laser if shaving and razor blades are that expensive?!

BTW, apparently Costco is worth joining just for the money one can save on razor blades alone in a year.

King of Shaves now do a good deal on razor blades, £4 per month for a great razor and blades sent to your home every month

say it on martin lewis website and signed up, the razor is a strange shape but you get used to it

"Bloody razor blades what a rip off "

If they are ripping it off then you need a new sharp one

biggest rip off is VAT... especially on taxed goods so you pay an extra 20% on the tax

Rip off? Not sure but from the re_iews of this i'd say ripping your hairs off one by one would be far less painful!

Here and there

its an actual fact (in our opinion)

that the biggest rip off product is in actual fact

cotton buds! they sell millions of them each year, try and find a doctor or ear specialist that actually recomends them or indeed says they are ok to use!

They're great for mopping up make-up mistakes, removing nail varnish splashes, unsticking my fingers after I 'accidentally' superglued my fingers together, and many other applications. Just because some people are dumb enough to stick them in their ears doesn't mean they're not good for other things.

petrol is a bargain at £7 a gallon ...buy a gallon of beer, that will cost around £30

but seriously ... biggest rip off is water... its the same water we keep re buying over & over... there will never be any more or any less water in the world, so we just keep re buying the same product

Although I don't necessarily think they should be free, I don't think they should be subject to VAT - hardly a luxury item

went hossie the other day as we pulled up a lady came over and gave us her ticket it had 2 n half hours left on it (3 hours is shortest you can get) we were in n out in half hour so passed it on to a chap as he pulled up as still 2 hours left, i was well chuffed at £2.40 for 3 hours we managed to at least do them out of £4,80 maybe more if the chap passed it on too, if it was hosptal money might feel a tad guilty but its a private company so felt fantastic
