PSA- Monoprice's shipping charges are fairly high, making their item costs seem falsely low. I always play a battle of seeing how much I can buy before the shipping cost goes up. It's great deals on things like power strips, extension cords, Ethernet, HDMI, and other cables when you max out how many can fit in the box (they seem to ship in very limiting packaging inside the shipping box. The price also seems to go up when an item defaults them using a larger sized box. Play that balance by estimating shipping and upping/lowering your numbers in your cart if you're trying to stock up on things for around the house).


ETA- great company though. Their stuff is good, service is better, and they ship fast. It's just expensive shipping, typically.

How much are mach 3s blades over there? The the regular ones are $14 for 4 here.

I reckon soft drink would be up there in excessive price, water/sugar/colour got to be cheap to produce.

I switched to the Fusion when it came out years ago, back when my parents bought razors. About a year ago, Fusion blades were running $4/1, so I switched to DE. I think Mach 3 blades are in the $2-3/blade range.

Printer ink


Buy a laser printer. Inkjets make sense only for people printing color all day long so the heads don't have as much chance of clogging, and even then, you need an aftermarket continuous ink system for it make sense. Buying those little retail cartridges is for true suckers.

Milk, especially in Louisiana. I'm shocked when I go out of state & can find a gallon for a couple of bucks as opposed to $4.50 or more for store-brand milk.

Actually, their (non-organic) milk is often cheaper than other stores'.

If you buy something at Ashley furniture at 40% off you still pay 200% - 300% markup. You pay retail you got raped
