There are a number of articles and lists like this one on the web that list the most overpriced things we buy.
Curiously*, the one linked to above omits the top item on many other lists: printer ink. One site estimates the ink cartridges costs the equivalent of $64,000 a gallon!
Other lists also include mattresses. In fact I found a site devoted to that one topic: how not to get ripped off buying one!
* maybe not so curious. It is an AOL page, and AOL is owned by....Time-Warner, which owns, well, so much stuff that it's not possible to figure out if there is a conflict of interest in their ink page.
