Buy the Arm and Hammer toothpaste (not gel). It's cheap and awesome, except for the taste. But that grows on you.

Engagement rings. Try selling one back to the jeweler the week after you buy it.
Supposedly this engagement ring bullshite was created by DeBeers in the late '30s to unload their surplus diamonds

Astra Superior Stainless blades run about $11/100 shipped. Buy a Feather TTO handle for about $18. Problem solved.

I kind of wish that instead, the DeDiamond corporation started an engagement beer business to get rid of its extra grain. That'd be way cooler.

Bottled water is by far the winner, but these are a close second.

I love arm & hammer toothpaste (actual paste, nt gel). Took me a while to get used to the taste but now I love it. My teeth feel really clean after brushing and it does a great job of keeping my teeth white.

I accidentally bought the gel once. Aside from being almost double the price, I actually missed the taste of the paste.

Bottled water? It isn't that expensive. You can get 32 bottles of Niagara for $3.50 at Rouses.

HDMI cables or for that matter any electronic cables and it's not even funny. Worked at an electronics store and $20+ HDMI cable cost like $5 to the store. Also they get suckers to buy the $100 Monster Cables when a set of $15 cables will do just fine.

If 20oz bottles, you're talking about $3.50/5 gallons. Out of a tap, 5 gallons would probably cost you about twenty cents.
