We are all worried about money and the environment but there are still social expectations to spend money on the little things. What are the worse offenders in your book?
I'll start: Gift Wrapping paper.

gift wrapping!! what's the point of it? people react the same either way also insurance on things that don't break very easily (like some phones)

Bath bombs. They are figuratively and literally money down the drain. They mould if you don't use them for a long time, don't make your bath water smell all that great once you get in, leave a filmy residue on you and your tub. The only fun part is watching them fizz away into nothing. They cost quite a bit in compared to the bath beads of the 90s. Even more off-putting is seeing how Lush refused to give that poor employee a shovel to fill the mixer for the bath bomb mixture at their production plant, as shown on Undercover Boss Canada, then praising the employee for not complaining.

ATM fees, I'd rather go a little further to a atm without a fee or buy snack and get cash back. I don't pay fees to banks when I can avoid it. Oh and higher gas prices for using a card, I'll go to a fee free atm thanks.

Gel pens. They are barely any good for writing or sketching and don't last long.

Cable tv. Thanks to the presence of so many streaming services that are free or next to free, cable television is a huge waste of money...

Oh lord, is trashing Starbucks such a trend now? Why? I once ordered a wrong coffee and they made me a new one for free. I didn't put up a scene or anything, just apologized and went to pay for a new one. I like the customer service there. Also the coffee is really good, it's literally a coffee made from a signature blend on a normal coffee machine.... it's not even that expensive compared to other coffeeshops in the place I live...

Sometimes we have to spent a wee bit of money on something pointless. That’s why they call it mad money. In a world gone mad, sometimes ya just need that Beanie Baby.

Toilet paper because you could just get a sprayer The overpriced houses everywhere Modern society War is a massive and stupid waste of money Gas is a waste because it’s too expensive Gas is also a waste of money because I would prefer not to buy the destruction of my home planets Sweat pants, just get good quality pants that are actually comfortable Paper towels, just use a towel You should not have to pay money to have a baby in a hospital Health care should be free I could go on probably twice as far but most stuff annoys me with it’s overpricedness and destructive quality
