    Most you've overpaid...

    Ok so I guess it was one of those nights, I end up at wawa pretty late. And I really, I mean really want a lunchable (ham, american cheese and crackers).

    So I grab it, head to the register and the lady says "$3.99"... For some stupid reason I didn't use conditional wisdom and put it back, I swiped and was on my idiotic way. So I just paid $4.00 for something that cost $.99 everywhere else, for what reason even I couldn't tell you. I felt/feel like such an idiot. To make it worse the lunchable didn't even put a dent in my hunger. It just made me more hungry. Dumbest decision i've made this week.

    Anyways, my vent is over, feel free to share if you wanna!

    Can't think of anything real major,but some minor ones...

    Various video games lol. Regretted getting them the moment I played a number. Actually is a big reason I've lost a huge interest in games. Didn't like that feeling of paying $70+ for a game,and then not feeling happy about paying all that much for how the game turned out.

    One time I actually spent too much money on the bus. Don't know why, I just paid extra on the bus one time, and didn't even realize it until later on in the day. Though even if I realized it right at the moment I paid,the driver wouldn't care cause they won't give you money back. Maybe it was just karma cause I've gotten on buses various times without paying(some of them wasn't my fault,it was just too crowded so I never even made it past the steps,so driver never saw me)

      Ya for me nothing major either, the minor ones tend to add up and make me more frustrated at myself.

        Probably could've saved a couple bucks if you didn't need the Lunchables with the juice in it.

        I can't think of any one item I've really overpaid on, but I buy a lot of little crap I don't need, so I guess that adds up.

              Haha it wasn't really about the amount, it was just the fact that I paid like triple the amount for some food that didn't have any affect on me. Like me paying $180 for a video game that sucked

                  The only thing that come immediatly to mind, sometimes I will be in a big hurry when getting gas & when I go inside & prepay say, $30, the gas will pump quick up until that last 40-60 cents & when it slows to that agonizing pace, I have been known to leave it where it is. Guess it's time to come into the 21st century with everyone else & quit using cash lol

                          Oh tell me about it, I did everything I could to get things down here and there. She would of easily put another 10k on the bill if she had total free reign. Only thing I am kind of kicking myself is not going with the videographer, but that was like another 2 to 3k depending on packages. I figured pictures were fine, lord knows we have around a billion of them.

                          I feel for ya at 45k lol, we were lucky enough to have the money saved so we just paid for it cash(that was my only key input) and don't have a monthly note like some friends of ours. I didn't want another note of something.

                            My college roommate and his fiance are about to drop 50k on their wedding. Neither have full time jobs and are only 1 year out of college.

                              Short version like Aholbert pointed out........Wedding industry is bigger crooks than insurance companies. So my advice would be to elope also and use the money saved for your new life together. You could throw a kick *** party for far far less than what something magically gets priced at because it has the "wedding" tag attached to it.
