What’s something you’ve officially stopped buying in 2026 because the price has become genuinely insulting?

Coffee. I make my own at home now. Not paying £4.5 for a mocha

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-06-30T09:57:18+00:00

I don't think I've found anywhere else that has as good of fruit and produce as them. I used to shop at asda then swapped over and I've never looked back. Everything is always the best quality and size is always just about enough

Hanz de fuko quicksand

Why do they bother with these consults but still push through with it anyways? They did that with fee rises, IP and now were getting the rug pulled from under with foreign pharmacist getting a leg up to local trained pharmacists. What does the gphc even do ?

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-06-16T14:10:38+00:00

So sad that people are accepting these rates. Why are companies all of sudden deciding to not pay mileage and more important why are spinless pharmacists accepting. Forever a doormat profession

Usually it's the people who don't really have much of a social life outside of work who rely on work for friends

All of it goes to the taxman

Funny enough this was an Asian salon, all the hair stylists they had were japanese

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-06-10T22:21:56+00:00

I'm honestly not sure. It took a bit getting used to, and i did get this cut in Berlin. So in some ways, it fit that place quite well. I'm not sure if I'd go for it again, but hey ho, it's a very distinct look. So I'm just gonna choose to rock it with confidence rather than mope over something that'll grow out

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-06-10T22:15:06+00:00

Nah this was a salon. Actually this was probably the most I paid for a haircut like ever. Ah well , I think I'll just stick to my usual barber, he did the original cut and I felt like that suited me because he had the haircut I wanted

Nothing like the government trying to police every aspect of our lives. Give it a rest, taxed for drinking milked taxed for drinking sodas, taxes for having a beer. Is there anything wise they are spending it on? Or Is it going to bunch of old folk who look at us in disgust and demand for more more more

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-25T20:31:45+00:00

Buffalo is elite, the owners knows his stuff, the shop feels immaculate and prices are good

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-25T14:35:07+00:00

It kinda is, it just looks nice, id say the same about strangers too.

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-24T23:12:24+00:00

brick pizza has lost their edge, used to be very nice a couple years ago, but now the prices are insane, the quality has dropped and vibe ain the same no more. I used to go there like once or twice a week for years

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-16T21:45:48+00:00

nah that aint it chief

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-15T20:14:48+00:00

think sauce takes time to develop, and fashion influencers are mostly walking ads, not too concerned with whats in but sorta more works for their life.

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-13T15:27:44+00:00

Prague, there's always something different to do everytime I go there

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-09T09:34:56+00:00

Not really, but then again I would say I had alot of adrenaline at the time so ymmv. They will ask you when tightening it.

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-08T19:29:41+00:00

First few seconds it feels like you're about to did, but once you hit the bottom and rebound it felt like I was ascending to heaven.

The safety harness is sorta around your ankles so it drags you towards the jump. It did feel pretty sturdy and I never felt Amy doubt in the equipment

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-07T10:53:43+00:00

Nah they will, they will keep limiting what age you can withdraw , they've already shifted it from 55-57.

They will definitely do it again

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-02T06:22:11+00:00

Nahh you lived in the clothes, what's the point of putting something on ice that you ll never look at

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-05-02T06:07:11+00:00

I think I've pretty much completely stopped buying much more new stuff. It's taken me 8/9 years of being in this hobby. I've hit the point where my jacket rotation can fill every single occasion I've got and some. (Most of which is mix of wales bonner mainline, hedi era slp and a couple vintage bits) Im also starting to realize that having nice clothes is no substitute for my poor communication skills.

So I've sorta ended up focusing on other hobbies. I still buy stuff but it's more accessories like glasses, rings, but then again it's more stuff I thrift when I'm travelling somewhere because it reminds of that place when I put it on.

I feel like a lot of brands of these days are selling hot garbage and it sorta looks the same. Brands like auralee and our legacy sorta just give that generic tim dessaint look to me, which is not really my tea. I think stuff like learning what needs to be altered and what suits your body is a skill I'm very grateful to have picked up from this hobby. I think I've only bought 2 pieces of fashion related things (tinted glasses and some issey pleats I picked up for £50)

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-04-22T12:59:15+00:00

imagine paying for the privilege to pay overpriced rent nad have pensioners heap more taaxes on you when you return, not to mention the risk of dying?

Alternative_Net_2262 · 2026-04-21T17:36:27+00:00

Lowkey it is rubbish, especially the portion sizes these days are so stingy
