"I Wish I Never Bought That"

(idea stolen from the DST and AKA forums)

What product have you bought that you wish never wasted your money on?

I bought expensive white eyeliner because I read in some magazine that white eyeliner makes you look more awake. Definitely needed for when I drag my happy ass into work on 3 hours of sleep. After trying it once, I realized that it looks horrid on me and I wasted $20 on the thing.

Oh, and Ruffles low fat chips (I think it was Ruffles...). They're bad. I don't know what cardboard tastes like but I'll assume it's the same as low fat chips.

I bought a sparkling lipgloss last year that looked awful on me and smelled weird.

Oh, about half the clothes in my closet. Don't know what I was thinking at the time. I've gotten much better now.

A used TV I got for $30. It's broken -- every 13 minutes, it switches back to channel 1. Of course I didn't know this when I bought it.

I forgot:

I bought this awful shirt while I was at Bloomingdale's about four years ago. It's this blue leopard tank top. I really don't know what I was thinking. It was right after I broke my elbow and I was on painkillers so that could be the case. It still has the tags on it. I keep trying to convince myself that maybe I'll find a use for it but no such luck yet.

I spent majority of my christmas money on food! I should've spent it on something else since I had gift cards from my favorite restaurants.

what was I thinking....

I bought glitter nail polish. The glitter won't come out of the bottle;hence, I paid $10 for a clear nail polish that chips!

Size 0 pants. I said, "Oh, yeah, I will be a size 0 again in a month or two...just as soon as the stitches are out of my stomach."

This computer game about elves (Like SIMS but with elves) as a "prize" for Mr. Silver. He plays it ALL the time...until the wee hours of the morning...including date nights!

I bought "natural" looking fack eye lashes. I don't need fake ones, mine are nice as is, but they made me look like Zsa Zsa or something..... natural right.

An overpriced pair of prescription sunglasses that I never wear because it makes me dizzy to wear them.

A Coach watch with a pink band. REAL useful

Tracy, I will take the Coach watch off your hands if it is making you feel bad!! I'm a watch whore.

Some of my tapes/CDs do give me WTF moments. The last piece of clothing like that was a blue skintight shirt...which highlighted my gut oh so attractively. I wore it once, washed it and gave it to my superskinny friend.

my car. i bought it in a panic (see this thread). and didn't really shop around for better rates/pricing or anything, so now i am stuck paying out the butt for it for another 3.5 years and the loan is too far upside down for me to even try to try to trade it in or anything.

Best of Will Ferrell DVD....way too short, and some skits are really not that funny. Majorly disappointing.

I have a serious problem buying similar purses/shoes b/c I try to get a "look" that differs just slightly from what the original thing gives me. Seriously it takes me about 7 purchases to get it right. I'm incredibly superficial like that. So I regret about 9 pairs of shoes currently sitting in my laundry room...all black, leather, with a heel in some form.

The other night, I was in Sam's Club and of course, I was starving. So I go strolling through the food section when I see this HUGE plastic thing of butter snap pretzels like the kind we used to have in the sorority house, and I got so nostalgic (and ravenous) that I bought them. I spent $6 on friggin' pretzels...but hey, at least they'll last a couple months.
