Some things in life are worth the cost, even if you have to pay a little more for quality’s sake. But some pricey things are just laughably unnecessary. Take a look:

Mascara

All mascaras may not be created equal, but let’s be real – you’re the only one that’s going to notice subtle differences between a $5 mascara and a $5 tube.

Bread Machines

It’s so easy to make a quick homemade bread without a machine. So why buy an unnecessary appliance?

Manis and Pedis

People who spend $30 a week on a mani/pedi are spending about $1,500 per year on nails. The cost for nail care would be a fraction of that if they did their nails at home. The more you do it, the better you’ll get at it.

A Mega Wedding

Even a modest, DIY wedding is going to cost you more than you think it will. So if you option for extravagance and worry about the credit card payments later, you’ll be paying off that wedding for quite a long time. Save money wherever you can so that you can enter into marriage without a huge storm cloud of debt over your heads.
