The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason Sam.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Hi, thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today,
we're talking about things that just aren't worth it anymore.
This came from read It. There's a website that somebody
asked the question, what are the things you've stopped buying
since the price has gone up and you think it's
just no longer worth that price anymore.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And sometimes it's not just the price, it's the thing
being overrated or not as.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
It used to be.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
That's exactly it. Like you shrink flation, you're paying the same,
if not more for something that got smaller, like biscuits
or chocolate or even a lot of food liners are
smaller now and you're charging more for it.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
I tell you what's as good as it used to be?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
And I.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
I had a bite last night. My children got a
crunchy bar and I went just as good as I remember.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
You know why they have underrated.
Speaker 5 (00:45):
They haven't changed the size of the thing.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
It was a sheer pack.
Speaker 5 (00:48):
Apparently it was a giant giant chocolate bar. Do you know, though,
do you know we were talking about today another underrated
chocolate bar is the.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Pinky I love a pinky.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, pink talks.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
About a prinking is one of the greatest.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
But they haven't messed with those like Girl Guy bikis.
They missed the girl Guy vikies. They change cream eggs.
They messed with those and.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Change though Girl Guy Biscuits went back to the original recipe.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Because it's too late. They had gone bad.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
They had to because everyone, I'm out.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I like creamix to come back properly.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Properly, that's right. Okay, here some of the other ones. Okay,
this is some of the people said on readers, so
there's worldwide. We've said everyone jumped involved and got involved
and jumped on. So here there some of the best,
some of the saddest. Fast food. Someone said, already knew
I shouldn't be buying it, but the price has gone
up so much for fast food, I just don't do
it anymore.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
It's really funny you say that, you know, do you
guys ever do you ever sit there and go, okay,
we're going to get obroats tonight and you literally go
through the options and you like, don't feel like any
of it.
Speaker 4 (01:40):
And if you do that, that's a sign not to
get it right. But you still do it, you still
do it.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
It's like it's because actually you make you make that
version a homemade burger or some fried race at home,
and it's generally better.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So my wife.
Speaker 4 (01:53):
Not great for the economy, but better.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
So my wife and I was doing the juggle thing
the other night, so the kids had football, and there's
different times in different places and stuff. So she could
eldest child up. And on the way home, she decided
to get dinner for the kids because I was with
the selling and stuff at home for us. I was
trying to eat clean, good boy.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
On the way home, she to have salad. Do you
just have salad at night?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
I'll put you can through it.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I assume the protein. Just no carbs. No, you're never
eating carbs at night. No.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I try not to try a better person than me,
not at all.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
And that's a false role, that no carbs at night.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
It's another She decided she stuff on the way home
and get the kids a happy meal each, right, two
heavy meals, and she got herself a little cheeseburger sneak. Anyway,
that was like twenty three dollars. She goes, when was
that that expensive for two kids meals?
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Well, you wait, till with the kids, and I'm surprised
Max is at the year to start getting a compo
and it just blows the butget right, But then.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Do you remember when a big met combo used to
be five bucks? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (02:46):
But do you know what?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
Even the healthy food's expensive too, it's even more pretend
like and got some healthy version. Yeah.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
And I think a great example of that is berries,
Like what's your cut off point on a pulnet of blueberry?
I'm six, but I'm kind of still earn if it
starts crossing the seven bucks, I'm like, I can't do that.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
Well, you know what you need to do. You need
to go frozen berries?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, good in the smoothie, but I mean leading to Christmas,
you are the fresh strawberries, right, they do?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
They do spensive down, but don't you go getting them now.
You've got to wait till December before they start becoming
on mass. At the moment they can charge a lot
because there's only a few that are ripe enough.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
Leading into May. They're really expensive in the June handing
them in paper bag for okay, So that's one of them.
Another one food delivery apps. You mentioneds before food delivery
apps because now there's a FIA test, there's a membership.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
For It's expensive, is expensive, but the conveniences was so good,
especially if you've had a couple of roses and you
can't physically drive to this tool.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
So still you've had a few more roses and you
can't even get off your seat.
Speaker 4 (03:48):
No, do you know how bad? This is? Quite often
about uber eats comes. I'm like, kids, go get the oreads.
I'm not even going to the dawn.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
Okay, So I still with it. Okay. Then one of
the one concert prices, you think a concert price that's
so expensive?
Speaker 5 (04:01):
Now I concur until the right band turns up.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
Though, I just pay for tickets to Benson Boone. My
kids mon' be listening to this because yes, him and
wickedly expensive. And I don't even think I got particularly
good seats. I think I'm up in the golg.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
When Trevor Scott came to walk On a couple of
weeks ago, came to New Zealand, tickets like three hundred
and fifty dollars three and fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
So much else in John was an adele.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Yeah, I know, but I want Trevor Scott was worth
it though, because you not only got a concept that
you've got a fight as well, but.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Then they couldn't sell on the rest of the tickets
with like thirty bucks on the day. Remember, if you're
paying three hundred bucks and your ma seting next, youve
got thirty dollars tickets out, you.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
Pay for that ticket price, right, and then you have
to get there, and then there might be some pre
drinks and then you're gonna get home.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
That's right, It is okay. Then what about movies? People
are giving up on movie theaters.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
I gave up on that long time ago.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
But I love going to the movies, but I never
go neither.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I'm the second the same as you. I loves the
joy that you walk and you smell that popcorn, you
get their popcorhen you sit in your seat. It's an experience.
It's the curtain slides open a little bit wider, the
lights go down, and the film comes on. I love it,
but it's so expensive.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Just last week, do you know what I did? I
purchased a movie from my couch twenty five bucks. It
ends with us with Black Lives.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
Did you buy it or rent it?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I bought it?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
Oh yeah, just because if you had a rent it
would have been a similar price.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
I don't know it was twenty five bucks.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Yeah, well I spent fifteen bucks on Captain under pants
the other day, just because all that was fifteen dollars
to stop Brando winging.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I was like, I want to get it's there, and I.
Speaker 5 (05:27):
Was sitting on the couch and like you, I couldn't
be only getting off the couch, So I was like
fifteen buck.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
It's called concession.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
But what about new clothes? Some people giving up on
new clothes like thrift chop shop shopping. It's massive at
the moment, a big sleeping movement through that twenty dollars
in my parket. I don't know. I still like they
of getting new your new clothes.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
Such a buzz out of new clothes.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
I just smell the death on a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
A fear that.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
He necessarily die.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
I'm pretty sure there's a lot of the jackets and
stuff and suits. Yeah, there's definitely been someone passed away
in some of those.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
What am I doing your own nails yourself? A lot
of women are now doing the nails themselves.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Out You do that, and they're nowhere near as good
as the ones you go to, but people don't really
tell from a distance, so it's only you that knows.
Speaker 4 (06:20):
Jealous by the way, G E l O U.
Speaker 2 (06:22):
S is the machine to get okay and also name
brand items like you know you can get the pems
now PAMs, And what's one that the countdown does as well?
Speaker 4 (06:31):
Like oh yeah, no frills? No it was no frills,
change nothing anymore.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Yeah, you know the way it might just be the
Walls brand those do you get that? I get those?
We were using PAM all the oil them because all
of us so expensive. You can't tell the difference. In fact,
I think someone once told me they have to make
a certain amount of slap that sticker on to be
in that in that supermarket.
Speaker 3 (06:49):
It's anti PAMs because I thought I could taste the difference,
and now I'm actually quite pro PAMs.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
I think PAMs is really up to Pam's bacon one
that big blind blind taste tests. No one can tell
the PEMS won. But there's certain brands.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
There's certain food you cannot buy no frills, like, for example,
baked beans. You have to have the water is baked beans,
tomato sauce, no compromise, you're so right.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Yeah, yeah, it's the little green logo, the warl worst one.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I thought it had a name, but I can't find it.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Home brand, home brand, Yeah, that's right. And one last
one as well, cable TV that you got to pay for,
like actual subscriptions things you got to pay for.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
So oh but if you're a sports fan, you have
to have it, but it is definitely overpriced.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Well, sky Sky is a great product. At the moment,
I could not turn off Sky Sport.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Could you turn off any of any other subscriptions?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (07:36):
Well, I try to turn off Apple the other day,
Apple Plus, but then Severance two is coming out, and
then I tried to turn off Amazon Prime and then
the new series of Clark. Yeah, it's about to come out.
It's impossible to turn them off. And I know the
ruler is you should have them for a period of
time and then turn that one off and go to
the other one. But convenience, once again, I can't be
(07:56):
bother getting off the couch.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
It's laziness text. We're all paying.

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed.

I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before.
