OVERPRICED THINGS
Added on: 18th Nov 2015
CABLE
Why pay for cable when you have the internet?
A LAW DEGREE
Unless you know people in high places or you are guaranteed to
graduate top of your class don’t go to law school. £65,000 of debt
will not be fun when you realize that law is not what you think it is.
UNLIMITED TEXTING
If you have a plan then you definitely don’t need unlimited texts.
Whatsapp gets it done.
NOISE CANCELLING HEADPHONES
You can make your own using a number of techniques that will
eliminate noise extremely effectively. Just google around a bit.
DIAMOND RINGS
As you may know by now, the idea that “diamonds are forever” is
quite literally the result of an incredibly successful marketing
campaign by De Beers in the 1950’s. Before that nobody actually wanted
diamonds very much and the truth is diamonds aren’t even rare
(although De Beers has a monopoly so it makes it seem like they are).
With a little creativity you may be able to find a way to express your
love without lining the pockets of the De Beers fat cats.
BRAND NAME PRODUCTS
Although some things are actually better when you buy the brand,
others are chemically, scientifically, and even metaphysically
(we’re joking) indistinguishable. Like medicines.
SKIN PRODUCTS THAT SLOW DOWN AGING
They don’t work. Just ask any doctor or scientist. You will get old,
accept it, rock your wisdom.
BREAD MACHINES
It’s actually not that hard to make bread in a regular pot.
PURE BREED PETS
By getting a dog from the shelter you may actually save its life.
And mutts are actually more “pure” anyway, genetically speaking.
