What are some dumb purchases you made?

[Xara]

i’ve purchased wayyyy too many makeup products that i haven’t used and likely won’t use lmao

i’ve also purchased way too many in-game purchases only to stop playing the game a couple weeks later.

I am the queen of buying stuff that I don't need/don't use. It's bad. I barely do my makeup at the moment and yet I recently bought a bunch of new lipsticks. Also, some background, I have hundreds of dollars of lipstick and I can think of maybe 10 times at most that I've worn it. Ofc I didn't buy it all at once, it's just been over the years, but ugh. I'm stopping with lipstick from now on. I think I have enough to last me the next 20 years.

Also OP, I feel you with the plants thing. I went through a plant phase a couple years ago and most of them died. Granted they were all v cheap on sale plants. 2 are still going strong to this day though!

I bought a vintage Vietnamese work jacket yesterday for waaaaay too much money.

I just remember I've spent over like $300 on DIY stuff back in the day, just to try make something that could help my baby (used to be a stray cat at the time) survive in dead heat outside. Which just ended up waste as she was never ever going to use any since her personality(catality?) is really wary and careful one.
Now she's living in my house with me so I can tell it was just waste. lol

The absolute dumbest purchase I ever made was about ten years ago I paid this Neopets hacker $90 !!! to get me my dream neopet. He did, but the fact that I paid nearly a hundred bucks for a freaking cartoon still bothers me to this day



^ YOU ARE NOT WORTH IT

It kinda looks like a dragon, so it wasn't a total loss.

pre-ordering a whole lotta nendoroids because i wanted the thrill of buying stuff (it was a really tough time for me, dun judge huhu) =u= i mean i was able to cancel em, but the downpayments are non-refundable.... so i just lost around $60 for nothing

but that's better than pushing through with the orders and paying more than like $200

Better than Pop figures. I bought one. i think they're designed to stay in the box. This one's body can't support the head's weight.

Like Funko Pop?
They have black eyes and all look the same.

Then again, my $70 Mezco Freddy Krueger can't stand up. Unbalanced mongrel of a thing.

I've owned a few Funkos in the past- I can report the same thing. They're definitely meant to be displayed in the box.

The first time my Sauron Funko dropped on my head when I literally tapped my desked proved this fact true. hehe

I have an used Leia Funko Pop(the 04 one iirc) and it can definitely support the head even though it's a bit wobbly and I don't even have a box, she's just my fave SW character so :]

Honestly I'd rather get more Pop's than nendos these days heh

Literally everything I ever bought has been a dumb purchase.

I once bought shoes for 366 USD and wore them only once because they were extremely uncomfortable. I still have them sitting safety in their oversized box and I weirdly don't regret buying them but it was indeed a dumb decision.

 

[Xara]

every in-app purchase i’ve ever made; i have the habit of downloading a mobile game, loving it and spending irl money on it only to grow sick of it and delete it like a week later.

and my funko pops; i have 5 and while they’re cute and of some of my favourite characters, all they really do is sit on my shelf and collect dust.

The other day I bought some buffalo chicken tenders and a little thing of Ranch sauce to go with them. I was in a rush to eat so I only used the sauce like, 3 times. So I could have done without it. It was like 49cents (my phone doesn't have a cents symbol?) but still.

I remember some dumb purchases my parents made when I was a kid because I was begging for them
For instance, I remember one time I really wanted some container of plain yogurt for no reason (seriously) and I ended up hating it. Also when they bought cheese sticks just because Mario was on them

I would totally buy cheese sticks just because they had Mario on them.

this.. i bought some dr. martens boots for like $160 once and i used them maybe twice idk, probs because they are uncomfy as hell and your heels and ankles get sore at once.
