Have you ever bought something and deeply regretted it afterwards?

At times I can be a bit lazy when it comes to cooking. Yesterday I was feeling a bit tired and decided to buy one of those ready meals. It was salmon with pesto pasta. The taste was awful and I couldn't eat any of it. I deeply regretted having bought it and also for being lazy. I won't be buying those ready meals again. It was a bad experience. Did you ever regret what you bought?

Yes, it happens. One is a pancake mix that I bought... Buckwheat gross I never tried salmon with pesto pasta, sounds like a combo I wouldn't try.

I have the same experience with one fine dining restaurant that my daughter recommended. She said that restaurant serves good food, so, trusting my daughter's taste buds I ordered buttered chicken with cheese and mushroom sauce. The taste is not that bad, but, the butter is burnt a bit that gives unsatisfactory taste and aroma.

Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience too. Before serving the food to the customer they must make sure that the food is up to the standard. Sometimes they just don't care

there was a time i would drop by the mall after work to "destress" before commuting home, just walking around and looking. one time i bought a short-sleeved blazer (to wear over blouses), yet i never wore it once. i ended up giving it away to relatives.

Yes sometimes I get lazy to exchange too and sometimes the shipping cost to return the item maybe quite high that it is preferable to keep it. Well you did a good thing by giving it away. At least the other person is using it and it won't bother you too
