'Women's' products always had a whiff of a marketing ploy.
But it's becoming more and more clear women are being charged extra on their shopping as well
1. Deodorant
You sweat more. Or your sweat is more delicate. Or something.
2. Razors
Lady razors are specially crafted by tiny elves. So you pay more for them. Obviously.
3. Drycleaners
A man's shirt is hardy and tough. But a woman's blouse needs one-to-one care. EVERYONE knows that. Except this misguided economist, who took her drycleaners to the, er, cleaners.
4. Shaving gel
Female skin is more slippery than male skin, and only a secret formula will keep this shaving gel on. And that secret formula comes at a price.
5. Anti-ageing moisturizer
Your wrinkles are more concerning than a man's wrinkles, so you need even more special cream to hide them.
6. Toys
Pink and purple are EXPENSIVE, OK? It's not like we're trying to rip you off.
7. Chocolate
Surprise!! Your Kinder chocolate costs more!! Because you're a girl!!
Obvious money saving tip of the day:
Check whether there's a cheaper version of what you're buying in the 'Men's' aisle.
