Every hairstylist that's not Super Cuts or Cost Cutters. I know a good hairstylist is worth paying, but when you reach a certain age and you have to do color and cut and highlights - and more frequently because of all that damn gray - you can easily spend $200, every time you get your hair done, and that's generally at least once a month.
I hate it. I've taken to cutting my own hair just because I can't do my own color. But I'm not going willingly into that grey good night.
Service repairs. We have a Fisher Paykel dishwasher which broke. There are only a few service places that will fix 'em. Just for the guy to show up at the door was $120. Now if we elected to fix it, then those $ would get credited toward any other labor. However, in this case, the guy told me it wasn't worth fixing as it would require at least $300 in parts. I think I got scammed. Anyway, it sure does seem like everyone charges an awful lot these days just to show up at your door, including plumbers, locksmiths, etc. Whatever happened to free estimates?

Rudy Guiliani spent $30,000,000 on his failed candidacy. He was able to gobble up two (2) delegates. That's $15,000,000 per delegate. God, they cost a lot.
Almost anything to do with dental work is crazy expensive. Teeth are small, for God's sake! And I know Diamonds are small too but they have to be mined out of caves. I open my mouth really wide - it can't be as hard as mining. And those miners aren't paid very well.

What is the condition of the french doors? What size? Maybe you can sell them to help cut the costs of your home improvements?
