Updated: What’s a Good Price For That? A List of What You Should be Paying for Products

I’ve been asked many times to create a list of products and the prices you should pay. Here is that list. Please note this list is my personal opinion and what I choose to wait for before I will buy a product. Obviously, if I am able to get the product for less, then I tend to stock up on that item. In addition, this list my change as prices change and coupons become more difficult to get for a particular item.

If you have a particular item that you would like “priced” and it is not listed here, please leave me a comment and I will do my best.
