These items include bath towels--why does a piece of terry cloth 2'x4' cost $40? Seems crazy. In the same category, bed sheets. Again, crazy expensive for what amounts little more than fabric.
Neck ties are also on this list. And tires.
I was actually just thinking about this stuff the other day! But kind of the other way. Like, how is Cascade dish detergent like $7? It lasts forever. Toothpaste is like $3-4 and can last for a couple months. Some items seem underpriced!
Id include televisions. Like, for the price of two sets of sheets, you can get a tv.
