Don’t Waste Your Money On These Overrated Items

Stop wasting your hard-earned money on these items. Here’s the top items you should never spend more money on.

Over-the-counter medication

"No need to pay $10 for 30 Benadryl pills; Walmart and Amazon sell 365-pill generics for $2. OTC generic medications are as effective as name brands but cheaper."

The First Date

"Make your first date easy to leave. Don't waste time or money on someone you don't know well. Try a coffee or a park walk, a great way to get to know someone without spending much."

Wall Calendars

The cheapest wall calendar will work just fine. There’s no need to spend a lot of money on a fancy calendar when you can get one for a few dollars at your local dollar store.

Bleach and Cleaning Products

"Generic cleaning products are just as effective as name brands but cost less. One person put it: “Read the label, they often have the same ingredients at similar concentrations for sometimes more than half the price.”

Rolled Oats

"Private label oats match the quality of Quaker or Mom’s Best. Plus, buying them can help you save money over name brands."

Mexican Food

"Find the best tacos and tamales in hole-in-the-wall spots and old SUVs, not in trendy restaurants. Save by opting for local, authentic Mexican food."

Safety Razor

"Invest in a safety razor and save money in the long run. They cost around $25-$80, with cheap replacement blades" said one individual.

Tools for First-Time Use

First time using a tool? Opt for a cheaper one. Use it often? Invest in quality. Don't overspend on doubtful use.

Cables for Technical Devices

"Go to Amazon, pay less." Tech device cables are costly in stores. Buy online to save money.

Warranties

Skip the expensive and often unnecessary warranties on electronics. Save money by proper care of your devices. Walmart, I just want the mouse!

Adopting a Pet

"Adopting a pet from a shelter isn't just cost-saving, but also offers a loving home to animals in need that may otherwise perish in a cage."
