Friday Top Ten – Things We Buy But Never Use

I came across a new survey dealing with families that spend a bunch of money on gadgets, kitchen items, and other gimmicky products they simply don't EVER use.  The numbers are staggering and the survey tells us that people blow about 1000 dollars on things that basically sit around the house and never get used.  Ever.  Like the cocktail shaker that Gentleman Mr. Sir is holding up in the picture featured.

At some point, we've all made a stupid mistakes and buy things that we think we need but don't.  We just bought it because it looked cool and appealed to something that was trending for that particular 15 minutes.  So read up on the list and see if there is anything that you have that is collecting dust in the attic.

1.  Chocolate fondue fountain - I have only ever seen these at wedding receptions, which is probably all they are used for when they are purchased in the first place.

2.  Foot spa - I think this should be toward the bottom of the list.  It would be a little odd for me or anyone in my household to have such a thing.

3.  Workout DVDs - Ahh yes!! Something that should be #1 on this list of not so necessary purchases.  New years resolution... I'll start working out!! Then January comes and the "Maybe Next Year" starts rolling around in your head.

4.  Fondue set - Again, special occasions like, having the family over or a wedding reception would be good places for this waste of money.

5.  Digital photo frame - I have seen these before.  Basically a picture frame with a screen that you upload all your pictures to.  Except after you do it once, you don't want to go through the process of putting new pictures on it.

6.  Pasta-making set - Just make pasta.  There is a set?

7.  Juicer - Honestly if I had a juicer, I would use it until it broke.  Or until I was broke.  Fruit and vegetables are expensive.

8.  Bread machine - I have a problem with this one.  My mother had a bread machine and she used it until it broke.  Best bread ever.

9.  Cocktail shaker - If you want to be classy this is the thing for you, except they run for about thirty bucks! Much easier and cheaper to crack a beer.

10.  Sleep tracker or monitor - How would this thing work?  Would you have to push a button every time you wake up?  How would you push it if you're asleep?

Friday's Top 10.  When people buy things they never use, it's a bummer when they look back and realize how much money they blow on things!
