Now I'm thinking---what things did you buy that you ended up hating or being disappointed with?
-Rug for the LR that I had spent so many cringe worthy hours researching and agonizing over because I couldn't decide which rug I wanted. We bought the rug and I thought, "Looks nice. But I don't love it as much as I thought." The thing never stopped shedding and I hated it. It's gone now---didn't even make it a year. What I learned? Buy what feels right---if you have to research tirelessly for something you want, you're probably going to be disappointed in the end.
-Not as annoying because I only spent .99 but I bought a Renuzit Simply Vanilla air freshener thing and I cannot smell annoying at all. Nothing. It's useless.
Add yours. Maybe they will keep others from making the same mistakes.
Last summer I got the neat-looking citronella candles for when I entertain outdoors. They basically look like giant taper candles (1.5 inches in diameter and maybe 3 feet high) on a piece of bamboo you stick into the ground. Well, they seemed like a much better idea than they actually turned out to be. The wax dripped everywhere and killed the grass in a 3-inch circle around each candle. Plus it turned out that the bamboo stick went halfway up the candle, so only half the candle was usable before the stick lit on fire. It was such a mess! Good thing I spent less than $20 bucks all told.
We buy at Home Depot and keep the receipt.
Every 3-4 weeks we return the leaking one and get a new one.
We do the same thing, except it's at Lowes and it's solar lights for the flower beds! I think we eventually ended up with ten that actually work, but it was a lot of work getting them.
Our green expandable hose crapped out on us after a few weeks too, by the way, but I couldn't even remember where we bought it. Should have kept that receipt too. We loved it though, while it was working.
Oh, back to those solar lights - yes, they're solar but they also require batteries. And the batteries are EXPENSIVE. So...kinda like a cheap printer that uses tons of expensive ink. Eventually you tire of the high maintenance.
Those hanging upside down tomato growing bags. I didn't buy them, my mom did, but what a ridiculous item! What tomatoes did grow we're quickly eaten by birds, and there was a mold/mildew problem.
That Juice Ninja thingie - I bought one, used it one time, and took it straight back to Bed Bath and Beyond.
It's nothing but a blender - except smaller, and at double the price.
