We've all got them, from strange wine racks brought back from Peru, to kits to copy your music files from all that old vinyl to your new MP3 player.

Why do we buy all this stuff and fill our houses with it and never get around to using it?

I wonder how many weird socket sets or tools are laying around that are never used?

Come on whats the biggest waste of money you made on one of these items?

Sadly my lovely motorbike leather's are totally going to waste.........

rolling on the floor laughing I love starting my day out to a good laugh.
The most useless thing I think I have bought would be a sandwich maker...think I only used it once, then tried to sell it at a garage sale..still couldn't get rid of it. dunno

i once bought a top of the range mp3 player (long before the release of ipods) which played vcd's. the idea was so the kids could watch movies or play mp3's in the car. it reached the car ONCE then found it's way into the cupboard. it's never saw the light of day again dunno

Actually...the "Tupperware", I am referring to is stainless steel and has a lifetime warranty. But when my ex's intended came from India, I asked him to bring me a set!! LOL! Good trade!

Not bi polar, high maintenance girlfriends were the cause at the time of purchase!!! I'm gradually thinning the place out but i dont want the nephew wrecking the coffee machine!

I have something called an easy breader that you used to bread stuff to fry. I've yet to open it. What was I thinking, I don't make fried chicken! doh
TG I didn't waste much of money on it, but it is wasting space.

A bread machine. I used it once. It was suddenly no longer fun or therapeutic to bake bread.

I have no idea what its called even but its a sort of semi circular contraption of three blades with a handle on either end and is supposedly used for chopping herbs - I used one when I was working in a busy kitchen one time and loved the thing - but being as my kitchen is rarely the busiest of places, the 'thing' is still in its box cos its easier to tear up any herbs which do get used or use a plain old knife laugh

Also 2 coffee grinders. They were both gifts for me and mom. Everyone always got us coffee stuff because we have both always been such big coffee drinkers.

Speaking of which - always goes to waste is when someone gives me any kind of flavored coffees. I like plain old Columbian. Nothing flavored.

I think the coffee grinders were cheap and easy gifts. LOL
