What purchase of yours was a waste of money?

[2025isavibe]

I'm ill in bed and bored. Mines a slow cooker. I don't like stew or casserole, I know you can cook lots of things in it but I never use it. What's yours?

Mulberry Alexa bag. £800 and such rubbish quality. Currently at the bottom of my wardrobe.

Probably my pub
£30k so far
Ouch

Airfryer……We just don’t get along!!

A pizza oven. It’s so much faff and I barely use it!

I’m thinking my ninja creami

Ooh I've always wanted a designer handbag!

So sorry to hear that!

That's a shame! They look great but I've never had or used one

Mine was one of these waist twister things…ashamed I bought it!!

I am wondering if I have ADHD... so most of my purchases seem a good idea at the time, but they are not.

The Dyson Airwrap and the Lumea IPL hair remover. Both great products but I just cba using them, they’ve been used once each and sat in a cupboard since.

Slow cooker, everything it watery I can’t work out what on earth I’m doing wrong but I need to find the box in the loft and donate or sell it. Do food backs take slow cookers?

They might take them.
A place in my town runs slow cooker courses and you get one at the end.

I need to give mine away too!

God, stick them on Facebook or vinted or something! Expensive bits of kit to sit unused in a cupboard, they'd sell quickly.

My DH told me tonight he has just bought one of these. We already have an ice cream maker which is sitting gathering dust in a cupboard. So now we have wasted double the money!

A juicer. Made lovely juice but the clean up was a pain in the arse. About 8 parts to clean up.

Snap! I think mine gave me sciatica.

I love my Alexa! Had it 12 years and it is still in great condition. Although when I first bought it done stitching came undone, I took it back to Mulberry to be fixed and they gave me a totally new one (which I still have) and I remember thinking the replacement was much better quality than the first one.

A bread maker about 20 years ago. We couldn’t get the hang of it after a few tries and eventually gave up.

Same. I make beautiful stew and soups etc in pans but slow cooker stuff never comes out right

so yes slow cooker!

kindle, i prefer books
electric toothbrushes

Oh, got another one.
An Alexander McQueen metal studded choker. Didn't fit my fat neck but I liked it. I still have it.

I bought a Mulberry Bayswater second-hand and even at £235 it felt like a waste of money. I like handbags but I work them quite hard and all my bags look scruffy fairly quickly, so I don't spend much money on bags any more.

My DH has a Ninja Creami. He used it a lot when he first bought it, then didn't touch it for 2 years, and then recently started using it again.

When I was younger I wasted a lot of money on designer/expensive makeup. In most cases I don't find it justifies the price tag. I use basic high street makeup now and I look just as good.

Not an expensive purchase, but I recently bought a steamer and it's not very effective. I rarely use it - I normally just use an iron on a low heat instead.

Eufy hoover. Absolutely crap, gets tangled up in everything and causes me more.stress than if I didn't bother with it
