expensive

I don't know about you, but when I was a child I had literally no concept of money whatsoever. Because my parents wouldn't let me eat Kraft Mac and Cheese, I assumed it was expensive, and thus too nice for us. Boy was I mistaken. Now that I'm an adult, I still feel luxurious every time I pour out the powdered bright yellow 'cheese' all over the little noods. Every time it makes me feel like I've really made it.

In my humble opinion, one of the worst trends that social media has perpetuated in the last few years is the gender reveal party. Never has there been a worse excuse to celebrate something that doesn't need celebrating. Parents, trust me, aside from you and possibly your parents, no one else is as invested in the sex of your baby. Let me say that again for the people at the back: NO ONE CARES! People have taken the trend way too far, spending insane amounts of money revealing the gender of their baby, and the madness needs to stop. One father, who also clearly feels the same, wrote to Reddit's Am I The Asshole after sabotaging his wife's $4K elaborate gender reveal plan for their unborn (spoiler alert) son. He posted the gender on Facebook instead, which left his wife understandably gutted. People commented with mixed reviews, some calling him an asshole for sabotaging his wife's announcement in the way he did, but others congratulated him for putting a stop to spending so much money on the gender reveal. What do you think? Asshole or not?

Last week we featured a Reddit thread that had people revealing the most expensive things their children ruined by mistake. Our own Cheezburger users jumped at the chance to share some of their own similar childhood misdemeanors and we had to show you some of the best responses we received! We love it when our users share their stories with us... check to see if your response is featured below!

Going to a supermarket and being faced with hundreds of options can be overwhelming. Knowing whether to go with a well-known branded product, or a cheaper knockoff isn't always easy because no one wants to sacrifice quality. But sometimes, the products are exactly the same and the only difference is the labeling. So, how do you know when this is the case? An AskReddit thread asking people to share their tips on when it's best to buy name brands might help you get a better idea of where you could be saving the bucks.

We've all done stupid things before that have cost us time, money, or relationships. Hopefully, each mistake is a learning experience and an opportunity to grow, but when it's a particularly costly mistake, you can bet that it's one you'll NEVER repeat again. Redditors are sharing their most expensive blunders and some of them are too painful to read! From switching labels on products in stores to sleeping in a car, here are some of the internet's most costly mistakes.
