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.

"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!

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. |

Estate Agents up to 2.5% for not doing a lot
Soft drinks in pubs, £3 for a pint of leomonade with a dash of lime, I refuse to pay that amount, if I have to drive will make half a beer last for hours
Wine in restaurants £15 for a bottle that costs £4 wholesale
Baa humbug |

"tampax etc yes i totally agree we should get them free 
"

nothing is free it all has a cost whether direct or indirect |

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 |

"Tampax, sanitry towels. Although i dont use them, paying for something you have to buy like that, they should be free"
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 |
