things you hate to pay for
I was thinking about how I hate spending money on repairs. I have to, but I really don't like it or want to. What types of things do you hate paying for?

I agree with the repairs. Sometimes I think I can do something until I research it & realize I have no idea...
Otherwise, the majority of food I hate paying for, like any veggies/fruits (because I don't know how or have the appropriate size garden and where I live we're restricted on what we can grow/plant).
I don't like paying for things I _should_ make but don't (sometimes the ingredients are more expensive than buying store brand... like ice cream!). Most of it is packaging we're paying for.
There's probably more, but that's off the top of my head.

Water. Why pay for water? I have three bottles for an emergency but I do not like paying for it, especially at a fast food place.
Personal hygene products. That stuff is so expensive!!!! Thank goodness for sales and coupons.

I hate paying for parking, too. You know when it's forced upon you because there's not any other options within a couple of miles. LOL

I don't like paying to picnic in a park. Our county parks are fee use areas and it drives me nuts. I would love to use their parks, but I refuse to pay. We just keep driving until we find a free one.

I think if I told you all of the things I detest paying for this thread would get locked pretty fast.
Well, ok, I guess I can say I hate paying for stamps to mail tax returns. Required paperwork and we have to pay to send it in. Biggest screw ever.Use it up, Wear it out,
Make it do, Or do without. ~unknown
