Mini Bars a Major Rip-Off

Before you crack open that bottle of Stella Artois from the mini fridge at your hotel this summer, you should know that you're getting ripped off to the tune of a 370% price mark-up.

Our friends at Mint.com have created this nifty infographic to show you that no item in that mini fridge is a deal, unless you consider a 13% mark-up on Patron Tequila (the smallest mark-up Mint found) a great deal.

Our advice to remedy the situation? Go to the grocery store as soon as you drop your bags in your hotel room. Not only will you pay less by buying in larger quantities (who can only eat one BabyBel Cheese wheel anyways), but you'll save money by not paying for the convenience of the mini fridge.

Then again, some people like to pay for convenience. We guess the choice is up to you.
