First, text messages can make your bill much higher if you have a pay-per-text plan. The 160-character messages typically cost 20 cents outgoing and 10 cents incoming! This can mark the price up by as much as 6,500%!!!
Second, college textbooks are way over-priced! Students have no choice but to buy the textbooks for their courses, shelling out hundreds of dollars per semester on textbooks they'll use for only a few months! The supplies and books you need for college now totals up to about $900 of stuff a YEAR! I'd rather teach myself at those prices!
Third, Free Credit Reports... There's nothing free about handing over $179 a year for information at FreeCreditReport.com. Why would you even name the website that if it's not free! More like GetRippedOff_ForFree.com!
Fourth, brand name pain killers aren't worth a 900% markup over a normal brand of pills that's exactly the same. A 50-count bottle of 200 mg Advil tablets costs $8.49, versus just $5.29 for the exact same bottle of un-brand named pills.
Fifth, wine at a restaurant cost wayyy too much. Ordering wine in a restaurant can cost six times as much as drinking the same bottle at home! For example, a bottle of Sutter Home's White Zinfandel goes for $24, but it retails online for as little as $4 per bottle. Some people just want their booze bad!
Last, movie popcorn is a killer on your wallet! A medium bag of popcorn costs just 60 cents to make but retails for $6 at the movies! If you're an Avatar fan, that's enough to make YOU turn blue!
