It used to be stuff for my vaping. It is better than smoking, but still a waste of money. I quit last year though!

Literally everything. I hate living under a system where my options are

1. repeatedly consume products which cause death and the destruction of our environment
2. move out into the woods and live as an isolated hermit
3. die

I'm...I'm just so tired.

Some of my frequent grocery purchases come in single use plastics. I wish there was another way :(.

Meat... :( We could all live without, but this damn learned behavior...

-Fast food. It's so expensive.

-Alcohol. It's unhealthy, and I use it as a crutch when I'm feeling bad.

-Animal products, due to climate change.

McDonalds. I have food at home and it's expensive. But damn I get a craving for it

Starbucks coffee, and even more so, their tea. Just doesn't seem like a good use of my money, since I can make it at home for a lot less money.

Energy drinks. I havw an addiction and not in the joke way.

Takeout. I get it a few times a week and always feel a bit guilty about it. I like supporting the local businesses but it's expensive and the plastic containers aren't great.

Drugs, probably.

Spent a few k on k alone.

Add up everything over the years and I'm at least 1,000,000 pennies poorer.

More good times than bad but I still feel a bit guilty when I crunch the numbers.

Ice cream. I'm addicted.

Cookies... They hate when i eat something else but sometimes i do like some good old fashioned Dino Nuggets.

Gasoline and diapers.

Micro-transactions in that one game I play.

I can easily afford it, so it's not like I'm gambling away my family's savings or something. However... At $10-20 a pop they aren't so "micro" anymore. And I know it's bad that I'm encouraging this predatory tactic. The money probably doesn't even make it to the developers. But they're freakin' ships from Star Trek! I can't help myself.

Furniture.

Not the products themselves, but the amount of packaging to throw away every time I buy a new chair or shelving unit that comes wrapped in layers of foam and plastic. Makes me guilty how much waste there is. But buying second hand isn’t always an option.

I eat Hot Pockets.

I hate Nestle but they're so good 😩

And nobody makes a knock off. They're my only option for microwaved pizzas conveniently rolled up into a pocket.

Games.

Extending Gaben's beard since Steam's conception...

I actually feel really guilty about buying all those single serving drinks from Dunkin' and the convenience stores because of all of the plastic I am just putting back into the environment. I really need to stop doing this. 😾

Almost everything I eat, tbh. 30+ years of being overweight will do that to you.

Expensive drinks when I'm out for dinner etc. But I guess that's the cost of socialising.

Gas for my car.

Gasoline. Airplane tickets. Those are probably the worst two things. But as others have said there are really only a few things that don’t make me feel guilty. So it might be easier to list those.

Bubble tea. Expensive, but so good on a hot day..

Onlyfans type stuff. It's an addiction and honestly pretty hard to quit

Coffee.

I don't need fancy coffee every day, especially with the inflated prices. I did the math and it's over $200/mo spent on coffee.

I stopped getting it every day, but I can't seem to kick the habit on weekends.

Weed from the Netherlands. Tobacco. I stopped smoking for 9 years and now I'm on 2-3 joints a day. Fuck. Should at least use my vaporizer again.
