Things that are cheaper than they should be.

[Golden_Rhino]

I am often fascinated by the fact that most things are ridiculously overpriced, but there are still items that surprise me for how cheap they are.

The one that is the all time champ for me is the common lighter. There are plastic, metals, gas, moving parts and springs. It seems that making a lighter is a fairly involved multi step process, and they still sell it for ~ a buck.

What other items surprise you because of their low price point?

Clothes at super target. They look just like the polo crap i used to get at dillards. I get a full wardrobe everytime I got for like <$100

Stamps

Mail something from anywhere in the US to anywhere else in the US in just a couple of days for something like 40 cents which is very nearly nothing.

there are lots of household goods at the dollar store that are ridiculously cheap. brooms, sets of glassware, little trinkets, crap like that.
