Cosmetics, sports goods, toiletries, medication? Expensive medication is somewhat understandable because of the need to recover research costs and make a profit, but what about the others?

Convenience products.. things that are supposed to make tasks easier. Why waste the money when you can just put in a bit of effort to get something done? Seems silly.

Couldn't agree more! All those liquid washing products for clothes are a great way for manufacturers to just use water to bulk up their products, and washing balls and tablets are another gimmick.

I think cosmetics are probably the most expensive. That and a fancy coffee.

Anything you buy is kind of wasteful. There is really no reason why you can't make products cheaper by taking away the fancy looking plastic wrappings.
