Things that cost crazy money now that isn’t worth it

Other day was feeling hungry and decided to have a KFC, not had one in a few years and was shocked how much was charged. Was my last one I will have in a long while………definitely not worth the price. Also chocolate is more expensive and the bars are definitely smaller……….will be the time for easter eggs soon, my favourite was the mug ones, egg and mug, but it’s smaller eggs and way smaller mug.

Chocolate is getting very expensive. Apparently there was a very poor cocoa harvest which has increased prices.

Proper cola is expensive now as are all soft drinks in pubs and bars

Facts!! Especially the tween lad, whose champagne taste is no match for our lemonade budget!

All over

Almost everything. From a cup of decent coffee to electric cars and everything in between. Some people are really struggling even those with relatively good jobs and income. More important than ever to shop around for the best prices.

All the older Jap cars.

Some were worth 2 grand a few years ago and now up to 20 grand.

Flagship smartphones.

Mid-range smartphones — and even budget-range smartphones — offer better bang for your buck these days.

Unless you're sitting on a load of spare cash or have more money than sense, I don't think a flagship smartphone offers much, if anything, these days.

Everything is expensive, every single thing has increased apart from wages!!

We just get shafted every single way possible!

If you actually sit down and work it out,it would depress you!!

Rant over! 🙄

Thanks to the American 25 year import rule prices for old Nissan R32's, R34's and Toyota Supras have reached supercar money. Even in the U.k. and tidy S15 is now a £25k+ car. I can remember when an R34 was a 25-35k car now they all seem to be 125k upwards

Subway. Sub of the day used to £1.99. About £7 now for a sandwich and a watered down drink.

The latest graphics cards.

Never buy the latest generation for computer stuff, at least when it comes to graphics. The sheer cost is not worth it as those £2000 cards will end up a quarter of their cost in 3 to 4 years.

I get why places have raised there prices but it's crazy where I live, pubs charge more than some restaurants in London.

If I go somewhere and they are super expensive, I never go back, if they were just a bit cheaper, I'd return; no wonder places are going out of business.

Houses...l'm a Carpenter and for the life of me l can't understand why house's are the prices they are BUT it's basic economics... supply & demand...but to me l do have a lot of empathy for people trying to get on the property ladder , those selling the house want to get as much as they can for it & who can blame them but houses would be something that l think are wayyyyy over priced.

Nothing to do with supply or demand. They’re the price they are because that’s the price. Something catastrophic will have to happen to the market before anyone starts selling their ‘investment’ for substantially less than ‘market value’.
