    Default Overpriced Items, that drive you crazy that people buy~

    I have an eye infection, from playing in the waves, last wk~
    so, I was at the eye Dr's, today, and noticed their sunglasses, for sale.
    I couldn't believe the price tags, one was .. 325.. gasp.. faint..
    now i know they can be much more.. but really.. people pay that much for them???!
    I actually asked that of the recpt and she said yes, and i was like there are kids starving.. (which got me an eyeroll, from, another customer..)

    For some reason, this just really annoys me.. that people would actually spend that much money.. on something ..soo basic..

    I felt like putting my 99 cents sunglasses, up there, w/ a 400 $$ price tag and i bet .. somebody would have bought them, just bc of the price!
    and arghh!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    So.. what things, are over priced to you.. that really annoy you, that people pay for.. (besides groceries and h/b.. lol ) :)

    anyone else vote for those sunglasses!!

    Sure wish I could get away with a 99 cent pair of sunglasses. My prescription combined with some health issues makes me one of the folks who HAS TO pay $400 for Rx sunglasses. I cannot do without them.

    My overpriced item gripe? TOILET PAPER.

    Carrie Bradshaw shoes.

    I can't really say that it drives me crazy because it's their money, not mine. No way in hell will I ever pay $450 for a pair of Jimmy Choo's. Wait, I take that back. I just might if I were ever to find myself richer than rich.

    While they aren't the official Silly Bandz, Wal-Mart carries "Googly Bands", which are about a buck a dozen. My 4 and 6 year olds don't know or care about the difference and I don't care if they trade them away.
