From time to time i wuold often buy somethings that i would not actually use that often, i would buy shirt or polo shirts that i would love to wear at first but end up not wearing them as it may looked too small or too big for me. or just the color or design does not seem good to wear at all. so i admin it was just a waste of money. sometimes it is really hard to judge if the item will be worth the buy.
so now i am kinda of trying to avoid buying any thing. i try to make sure that i will use the item and will not be disappointed.
what are the things you bought lately which you thought was a great buy but disappointed you afterwards for buying them.

I'm not that wild about my Kodak printer. It's nice that the toner's reasonably priced, but it runs out too quickly and I have too many problems with printing. My HP was much easier...

yeah, sometimes we really have to be careful on the things that we buy . some cheap items are very useful but many of those of cheap items i bought before were a waste of money too. so i am more careful on things i buy. price is not the only thing i consider.

sour or sweet i like mangoes so i will still buy mango. i like fruits cause they are good to our body regardless of the taste. so i don't think we should be disappointed that much just because of the taste.

I often buy new things and be disappointed later. Last week, I bought tarot cards and I found that the drawings are ugly, LOL. I have bought so many shirts and dresses that I became disappointed after so I just give them to my cousins, that was a waste of money!

yeah me too i have wasted too much money for buying clothes i didn't wear that often. and so i am planning to be more careful in the things that i buy on the shops. i just wanna make sure that i am going to use the things i am going to buy that often or not buy any thing at all. or just save my money for more important things.

I hate buying pants. I have to take literaly one of a variety of sizes..10-12 and short to medium sizes and try them on. However, invariably, once I get them home, even after I spent time trying them on at the store....I try them on once home and they look like crap or they don't fit for one stupid reason or another! I can't figure how they look okay in the store but not at home. But I sure hate it.
And then, once I find one (at the store) that fits right, I will go grab several pair thinking these will last me few years. I get home, and I swear to you literally, every pair fits differently and I always have to take them back,....save the one pair that I tried on at the store that fit. FOr some reason, multiples in the same size, aren't always the same fit! I hate shopping for pants!

yes i have experienced that they will look so wonderful on us in the store .but once we try at home, people at home will say how the dress does not look great on us or how awful we look on that dress and we feel ashamed to wear that any more outside and so we end up keeping our bought item inside the cabinet and untouched not unless we have decided to give it away. which i am planning to do but i am still looking for any one who will be interested to wear that dress that does not look good on me.

This question is very easy for me to answer cause the answer is no. I didnt buy anything that disappointed me because I didnt buy anything at all. I dont have a lot of money these days so that means I dont have anything new in my wardrobe. Buying clothes is not my priority these days. Sad to say.

it seems you really know how to save money. that is good that you don't spend on a lot of things. i would like to save a lot of money as you do too. but sometimes i am very compulsive buyer also. i should learn how to control my impulse to buy things without thinking hard about it.

I bought a three jeans with a discounted price. It was buy 1 get 2 free items, but after 1 week i discovered that the color was falling out for all of them. So I was very dissapointed. So I learned a good lesson from my mistake not to buy a discount clothes again. However, i realize that some people really got good things even in a discount rates. So my final decision is to looked at things closely and learn to know what is really good and bad.

yeah definitely that will be such a big disappointment. i too would buy things at discount only not to wear them because they are not as good as thought they would. and so i end up wasting my money that saving money.

i know it wasn't a disappointment. but i bought a camera that is much too expensive from the money that should be spent for more important things. the money's worth the camera but we have no much of the money now.

yeah it is not easy to resell things that we didn't like. i have not resold any thing that i have not used after buying it. i just mostly gave them away and sometimes looking for someone to give it too can be quite difficult too sometimes.
