Ramit Sethi has a great list titled, “Things I hate spending money on” that gave me a good laugh. I’m in agreement on organic groceries and dry cleaning. I don’t remember the last time I’ve had article of clothing dry cleaned, although that’s probably more a statement on my wardrobe than thriftiness.
A couple more items I’d add to the list are software updates, stamps, co-pays, insurance of any kind, membership fees (Costco, Sams Club), and automotive work that includes the word, “Flushing”. I don’t know why my car needs anything “flushed” but I’m told it does whenever I take it to one of those quick lube joints.
