DON'T Buy It!
In this tough economy, particularly, we all have to watch our pennies and can't afford to waste money on products that don't appear or perform as expected. What things have you bought - it can be from simple to expensive, novelty items to serious - that did not turn out like you anticipated or as advertised? Is there something about a product that you wished you'd known before you bought it?
Tell us what the product was and the issue(s) with it. You can also use the thread to ask about a product you're considering purchasing and see if anyone else has it and what their experience is with it. Pics appreciated when possible. |

Cool idea Stearns, I'll have to give it some thought, 'cause we usually do so much research prior to buying anything. This is going to be a mind bender. You know how my memory is...not.

I went to Walgreen's to purchase one of those things, aspirations, that you use to suck out mucous from a baby's nose. None of the stores (Cvs, etc) carry the larger, single unit bulb any more. I use them for cleaning ears of adults. Anyway, I got this small, two piece job that leaked at the connection when you squeezed the Dang bulb
Now I am sure that a load of ya will find this useful. |

Gardeners that are not licensed and bonded... You should see the golf course sprinkler system we have in our backyard... Literally... an industrial sized sprinkler head... It's gonna cost us $900 with the guy who IS licensed and bonded to fix that plus put in a new shut off valve for the system...
I had to tell him to wait a while before we do it... |

Slinky FAIL
Ok, I said this can be about any purchase. The first thing I ever bought with my very first dollar saved (25 cents a week allowance) was a Slinky. I was mesmerized by the commercials, particularly the walking down the stairs. I couldn't wait to get one and have it do all the things I saw on tv. As many of us Slinky-victims know, the toy was a FAIL at doing more than one (two at the most) walk-over. I felt disillusioned and ripped off at the ripe old age of 6. Scarred for life, I tell ya.
