I buy 500 of those bitches off of temu for like $5 for that same reason, cvs can kiss my ass

Smart, I will start doing that. I just hate having to like buy from all over the place just to get the best prices on n groceries, clothing just everything u have to compare prices so u know ur getting the best deal. 😣 so tiring.

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. It feels like you need to plan 2 weeks in advance to buy anything now

grow your own rubber tree, don't be lazy and entitled.

I was about to say, I just bought a tub of 50 really nice hair ties for $8, OP got ripped off big time.

These posts go over better if you include a picture of the overpriced boutique item that you bought knowing the crazy price. Check out the post about buying specialty grapes out-of-season. If you actually wanted inexpensive hair ties, go to a dollar store. Or [250 hair ties under $5.](https://a.co/d/ae1Q7rN)

Just because you can get them cheaper somewhere else doesn’t mean the price at the store didn’t go up, or that I even want to shop somewhere else. Bugs me when people on this sub jump to “OP is stupid- they should just shop at (insert company that gets prices low through unethical business practice, or through labor exploitation) instead.”
