What won't you pay for that others do?

Won't pay for television service. No cable, no satellite for me. If I can't see it on broadcast with my antenna I'm not watchin' it.

I won't pay for someone to do my laundry. I hate doing laundry but would much rather do it myself. I know someone who works for a cleaner and ummm no. I have a system and it MUST be done:)


I'm super cheap so there really isn't a whole lot I pay for except I do have my kids hair cut by a professional.

Don't judge by the photo:) My son needs another haircut:)

I won't pay for:
baked goods (I have too much fun making them myself)
store pickles (my mom cans the best herself!)
full priced books (half priced books, amazon, or the library)

I might have to come back to this, I know there is so much more


I will pay for
a good soy mocha, yum

Yup agree with most on here . My top two are ,

Sex
Massage

I can't think of anything that I can say as a blanket statement. Maybe interior painting (I enjoy it). Home improvement that doesn't require major electrical or plumbing.

I don't mind mowing my lawn, but got a great Groupon this summer so I'm not doing it this year.

I definitely pay for haircuts and color. I don't pay for mani/pedis cause I don't get them. At least twice a year I pay someone else to do my laundry (i HATE laundry).

I generally groom my own dog, but have gotten a couple of good deals this year on grooming services.

Like I said almost nothing that I can make a blanket statement on.

Oh yeah - gym membership.

Soda in a restaurant..... It's rediculous how much they charge for one glass!!!! i get water with lemon... better for you anyhow!

Also soda at the movies most of the time. I generally get a 0 cal sobe or similar... sometimes water with a drink packet...and hide it in my purse... sometimes i will bring my own snacks too..... like pumpkin seeds... unless i am stashing aside cals for some popcorn as a treat...

Hair cut and color. I learned off of youtube how to cut layers in my hair...( though if I have a special occasion I will still go get it cut.. have not had to in over a year so far...) and have been dying my own hair for a few years... i do nice and easy blue black.....love the stuff! and then I do my red streaks with loreal HiColor magenta from sally beauty supply... it's pretty close to the manic panic vampire red I love...so sometimes I can go a few days with it like that without having to manic panic it right away like i did when I used to bleach the streaks. It lightens just as well since I like the Vampire Red a deep bright red instead of neon like...lol.. and is less damaging.... It's messy, and time consuming for sure...but costs less then $20 all told maybe slightly less with sales... i stock up...and also since the manic panic losts a few refreshes etc...

I won't pay for

a fitness trainer (I know what to do I just need to do it ;p )
delievery of food...I can drive
pedicures (I've had 2 in my life and both of them were paid by someone else)

I will pay for
Dog food that is $50 for a 30lb bag because it keeps my dogs healthy
$130 running shoes so I don't get injured.

I won't pay for iPhone apps, iTunes or fake nails/manicure.

I will pay to get my hair cut, lawn mowed (allergic to grass), meals out and all car maintenance.

phone apps

This. If it's not free, I don't need it. Also, I won't pay for facebook apps or facebook games. And, I don't pay for cable. I have a TV, and I had cable until I moved, but now it's too expensive and I feel like it's not necessary. The only show I really liked to watch is the Daily Show, and I can get that online.

Sex.

The day a woman has to pay for sex is a really sad day! LOL

I've never paid for a haircut in my life.

No:

TV Watching: If it doesn't come on channels that come with the TV, oh well.
Radio Listening: Same as above, I enjoy XM whenever they turn it on to try and lure me in but when it goes off I don't miss it
Drinks in a restaurant. Its ridiculous to spend $3-4 on soda. Plus cals and carbonation ruin a good meal. And I don't drink but every time I see a drink menu and see ppl paying $8-14 for one drink I'm in awe! That cost more than my meal! lol Couldn't do it.

Reading over everyone's list, I am like I pay for that, and that, oh, and that... LOL.

So I guess that leaves... sex. But I am married, so I guess I pay for it but not with money (KIDDING!).

I do pay for:

Lawn care, house cleaning, personal trainer, gym membership, I eat out often, but I do not have someone come in to cook. Though I would, if I felt like it - my oil change (even though I can do it myself), tire rotations (ditto), car cleaning, pedicures, manicures, and hair coloring.

Just doing my part to keep this economy going! )

I wont pay for...
just about anything new, excluding personal items of course... cloths, video games and furniture are better used.
Manicure/pedicure (it shows... my nails are a wreck and I'm okay with it), hair-cuts(though I did get it cut short after losing 10lbs), apples in the fall (far too many delicious wild ones)... actually I'm really cheap, I wont pay for anything I can do myself or get through trade.

I will pay for...
anything my pets need. I brought them into this house and I will make their lives as awesome and safe as possible.

I wont pay for:

Manicures: I'm a terrible nail biter, it's embarrassing and worse, it's a complete waste when I bite the tips off as soon as I get home lol
House Keeping: I'm too paranoid about strangers in my home

I will pay for:

ALL vehicle maintenece, I'm just happy I can fill it with the fluids it needs without ruining it
Expensive food, treats, toys etc for my cats, they keep me sane, it's worth it.
