I Went To Buy A Wheelie Bin £52.99 ($105) Came Home Without At That Price

Actually I just got back from going to the store to buy pajamma's for my little granddaughter! She is only four but stays here alot and sometimes at the spur of the moment so it's nice to have a pair here....well I couldn't believe how much they wanted for them.....as high as $27.00!!!! I found some on sale but I would have never bought them at the origional price! There's hardly any material in them!!!!

I find that everything is ridiculously expensive. I really cannot afford to live anymore, it is really that bad. I don't really know what a wheelie bin is but I believe you when you say it is too expensive.

That's quite a price for a bin! Can't you make one yourself? I mean, it need not be that perfect but can you not make it out of some drum with a lid... I usually do not buy my household stuffs, my mother does. And recently when I had gone to buy some door mats I was surprised at the price. I agree that they were of high , qualities and brands are expensive but I had no idea !!

In the states, they are very affordable. But I guess prices are different all over. For us, rent and mortgage rates are really high. Maybe they are lower in your area. For us, trash day is Monday morning and Thursday morning and they come by on Wednesday morning to pick up heavy stuff like furniture and mattresses.

Hi Ellie-that is disgusting -won't the council supply you with one? I f I was you I would go and buy a big bin that would be cheaper seriously I can;t remember the last time I had to buy anything really expensive-but probably at some point I have -hugs your friend littleowl

That's a bit rich, ellie! Where I live, our Council provides us with a wheelie bin, as part of our rates. We actually have two - one for food scraps, and another one for recycling (cardboard, tins, bottles). I think razor blades are really expensive. When my husband's razor runs out of blades, it's cheaper to buy another razor (with blades) than to buy a pack of replacement blades. Printers are the same - it's cheaper to buy a new printer (with two ink cartridges) than to buy a new cartridge!

We have been car shopping for my daughter a used car. We all know that used cars are as is with no warranty. We looked at several of them and they were priced really high for the year and the number of miles on them. We looked at several and did not purchase any because they wanted too much for them with the condition they were in. We finally found a good deal on one the other day though and we got it for her. It pays to shop around for bargains.

Wow! quite expensive really! I am very particular about price ellie, the fact that I am jobless this time, so makes me very keen about prices, So, not been buying very expensive this time! LOL!

This actually happened to me last year. I had come into a little extra money to burn and decided to treat myself to a GOOD pair of running shoes, or what USED to be called plain old sneakers. So I thought of going to Footlocker where they sell all the name brands, like Nike, Adidas and so forth. so I'm looking around and my jaw dropped as I had no idea that such name brands were SO expensive...like way over a $100 for one pair...for "sneakers" are they NUTS? So walked out and went to the Payless shoe store instead..for the same amount of money I would have spent for only ONE pair of sneakers I got two pairs of sneakers and two pairs of sandals. It amuses me in a way that I look at what sneakers people are wearing and almost all have Nikes...gee, you mean so many people have over a hundred dollars to burn on one pair of shoes?

Garbage is really a big problem and in my case it was so ridiculous because I bought an empty drum which was cut in half and I placed it outside my gate so the garbage man can just pick up the garbage with no problem. I placed a heavy lid on it so the dogs and cats don't go spreading litter around. The thing that happened was that the entire thing was stolen a couple of days after I deployed it.

That is outrageous for a trash can. Here they cost about $10 for a cheap one. I am always coming home empty handed because I refuse to pay over a certain amount for an item. Too many things have gotten too high in prices it's ridiculous. I don't like paying more than $10 for a pair of shoes, but often they cost $30 or more. Nuts!!

Ellie The only example I can think of is what happened this last week. I found A product I want to sell here in Mexico, small books. After investigating I found the only place they are made is in Brasil. I agreed to buy $1500.00 USA from a manufaturer in Brasil. They informed that shipping was $120.00 I was ready to and went to the bank to do the deposit. The bank was unable to do the transfer bcause the manuf. didnt give me the correct account number and state. I thought If they cant do this correctly will I ever recieve my books. I found another manufacturer they agreed on a better price for the books. I was happy to save money. When they sent me the invoiice the shipping alone was $900.00 dollars. I decided I dont need to sell these books that bad. For nine hundred dollars I can go to Brasil and vacation and bring the books back myself. In the long run I have less work to do and wait till they figure out their business and learn that they are not going to retire off of me alone. Youd think I was trying to buy a rocket. In regards to the wheel bin...Is it made from plastic? Plastic made from oil, might be why its so pricey. Back to conventional less luxury ways. Take care. David

Hello ellie, I haven't done that yet, but wouldn't the council supply you with new wheelie bin? they should, the price of council tax we pay. I try to put my rubbish in black bin luner then tie it up but when the dust men been I still rubbish strewn across the path, take the bill to te council I'd say. Love Tamarafireheart.
