20 OVERPRICED THINGS WE PAY FOR

There are some things that are really overpriced and really not worth wasting our money on. Unless you are rich you should spend your money wisely. 

Here's a list of overpriced things that you will think twice before spending your money: 

1. Airlines - A lot of people wonder why airline tickets cost so much money.

2. Taxis - Overpriced taxi fares costing huge amounts for a simple journey. 

3. Hotel Mini Bars - If you decide to raid the hotel minibar, you might just find your wallet emptying quicker than you could ever imagine. 

4. Starbucks Coffee - The cost of a cup of coffee at Starbucks is usually double what others are charging. 

5. Electronic Gadgets - The latest gadgets so outrageously expensive.

6. Movie Theater Popcorn - Popcorn is sold for nine times its cost of production .

7. Wedding Services - The first thing anyone who has ever planned a wedding is shocked by is the cost.  Weddings are really expensive.  Add the word “wedding” to anything and the cost goes up 3x.

8. Name Brand Medication - Many of these brand-name drugs are expensive to begin with. So you're talking about a lot of money.

Most people are either lazy or unimformed and aren't willing to invest their time, even though they can save  on a typical deal.

13. Extended Warranties - Considering buying extended warranties? You'd be smarter to set aside the money you'd spend to cover repair costs yourself.

14. Gym Memberships - The truth is, you don't need a gym membership to be physically fit. In fact, depending on your circumstances, joining a gym might be a complete waste of money.

15. College Textbooks - College textbooks cost too much — and something needs to be done it.

16. Travel Size of Anything - Ensure you don't go over your baggage limit, they can be seriously cost too much. Customers can pay up to eight times more for the contents of the miniature toiletries compared with full sized version.

17. Buffets - Stop wasting your money on overpriced buffets that just aren’t worth it. If you have a craving and you want to satisfy it endlessly with just that without thinking about the price tag.

18. Text Messages - Text messages cost money. A lot of money, which is insane.

19. Cable - Paying a lot money on channels we're not watching.
