Overheard a woman at the grocery store bragging about her $800 fridge water filter replacement
I was grabbing milk and this lady is telling her friend she paid $800 to have a plumber swap out her fridge's water filter system. Said it was "easier than dealing with those little filters every 6 months." I looked it up on my phone right there, a pack of 3 compatible filters costs $22 on Amazon and takes 2 minutes to change. Has anyone else noticed people just throw money at stuff that takes almost zero effort to do yourself?
People DO get carried away with paying for stuff that's simple to figure out. Also $800 sounds EXCESSIVE even for a plumber to do that job, maybe she got a whole new filtration system or something.
