Im about to overpay for some soup cans at CVS for the homeless (company has a holiday giving thing)

Also I live 5 minutes from a place that sells my smokes for $8 and I sometimes buy them downtown for $15 (i need to quit for good)


What have you overpaid for?

Every time I have ever ordered anything from Door Dash or Uber Eats.

I don't know if this qualifies, but I bought a sweatshirt at Costco but it was too short on me so I was going to take it back. When we went the next time I left it in the car and we were already at the point where we have to prove our identities more than I had to in order to vote so I decided I would just keep it instead. When we were leaving, the line was like 8 people deep in the returns and I felt good about my decision.

Uber Eats now will price delivery based on the distance you live from the restaurant. I paid .$99 for delivery the other day. I'm not sure what the agreement with their drivers are but that would piss me off.

I am a total Walgreens-phile. I just love the convenience of knowing were everything is, and getting in and out.

I almost never even glance at the price, although I am pretty sure I am being gouged in exchange for the convenience.

I'm staggered each time I've seen the prices even compared to ten years ago when I still would do it.

Yea, that's my go to for K-Cups, general coffee stuff and pop.

I'm a fan of convenience over price, but I can't stand stopping at Walgreens or CVS. Whenever I go in those places there's only one register open, operated by someone that should have retired 20 years ago, and I end up waiting in a line that is 8-10 deep.

Beer from a gas station. General Walgreen's items as well, but I try not to make a habit of going into their stores. The drive thru pharmacies help with this a lot.



RPB, jump on I57 to I80 and buy your smokes at 183rd & Harlem...Will County.

That's the place 5 mins away I was referring to

It was a really cold winter night and a bunch of us were at O'Callghan's on Hubbard. We decided we were going to head over to Coyote Ugly which was on Erie. It's not that long a walk but it was fucking cold so we were gonna cab it. (This story predates Uber.)

We came out and there were about 30 people waiting for taxis. I was freezing my balls off. A black dude driving a stretch limo with no one in back pulled up. I asked him how much to take us to Coyote Ugly. He said he couldn't do it. I said, "There's 4 of us. How about $40 a guy?" He said, "Get in!"

My friends still give me shit for paying $160 for a three block ride.

Not quite the same but when I lived on the south side but partied up north, sometimes Id take a $60 cab ride over sleeping on a friend's couch.

The delivery charge isn't what comes to mind. The upcharge for the food is what I'm thinking of.

I've bought headphones in airports at least 4 times. That's like $100 worth of headphones and literally none of them are worth using.

I've done the limo ride home from a Cub game because I didn't want to wait 2 hrs for a train.

I went for the cheapest sound dampening, over the ear headphones at an airport...They're OK, but I easily paid double. I think I paid $120

When I was underage, I once paid $200 for a bottle of Jack Daniels and a gram of cocaine. The laws of supply and demand become very clear at 4:00 AM on a Sunday morning.

I shudder to think what I paid for beer on ill planned college Sundays in the dry state of Georgia.

But it beat the 45 minutes drive to Tennessee friends in school in Alabama made.

I have been known to come out of there with a cart full of shit like I just came out of Costco.

Dude, you are not being very observant.

Any Walgreens BlackBelt knows hot to use photo counter, makeup counter, or pharmacy to ring shit up in a jif.

paid 40 cents more per gallon for a couple gallons of oasis gas than chancing not making it to the regular gas station

That is like my M.O. for underwear and socks. I do this about once per year.
