Brits debate most 'outrageously' overpriced things 'we just accept' - do you agree?

A Reddit post on r/AskUK asked what outrageously overpriced items in the UK people simply accept, sparking wide discussion in 2025.
The post followed growing concerns about extortionate costs in daily life, such as energy bills and weekly food shops.
Users cited examples like fish and chips costing £8 and £5, Dove deodorant at £5 per 200ml, and toothpaste priced at £7 for a double-sized tube.
One commenter said, “I’m not buying Pringles for £2.75,” while another noted, “Child care costs more than my mortgage every month.”
The discussion highlights widespread frustration over everyday expenses, suggesting ongoing financial strain for many UK residents.
