Current Events > What was the last thing you purchased that you regret spending money on?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I bought a 3 lb. container of ass-kickin peanuts, remembering that they used to slap as a kid. As an adult, however...they suck. Maybe they changed the spices or whatever. Anyways, what was the last thing you regret buying?

a Chromebook.

Shoes - never wore them after first try on, sold them after

Realized that I didn't really need them

Dying light 2. Bought it digital (big mistake on my part. At least if it was the disc version I could have either took it back in that first week for a full refund or simply sold it later on) only to find out that after a hour or so its the "same ol same ol" from when I played dying light 1 years ago.

That 60 dollars could have went towards king of fighters or horizon (both of which I ended up skipping for now since I was getting elden ring).

I bought a brand new couch for around 2k and found the same exact one almost half the price on Facebook Marketplace

I bought a controller that connects thru usb-c for retro gaming but now I'm limited to just a phone, wish I bought the Bluetooth version that came out a month later because I want to use a tablet for retro gaming as well.

Cigarettes.

I bought a decorative scorpion from a Native American reservation.

Somehow, it slipped my mind until after I'd bought it that a living animal had to die for me to have a decoration. I feel a tinge of guilt every time I look at it.

I'm still wondering if I should have gone for DMC5 or stuck to the too good to be true mindset.
It hasn't endeared itself to me nearly as much as 3 or 4 did.

Nachos from 7-11. The cheese machine was pretty much empty so my nachos were hardly cheesey.

As a kid I grew up with one of these designed for a keychain. RIP scorpion dude

A fight stick. I didn't expect to immediately be as good with it as I was with a controller, but I thought it would be fun. But after a couple months I'm still not even halfway decent with it, and I find it uncomfortable and annoying to use.

Did you hate the dress as well, or was it just him?

$60 for three Doctor Who figures that retail for like $25.

Does a day one Switch count?

There's been only two titles that I've enjoyed since I bought it and now with the steam deck (that I don't have) there's even less of a reason to own a Switch.

Got a hot dog this afternoon and though it was really good, I wish I'd saved that money.

Yes, the chicken parm sub I just bought.

The place I got it from is generally good...or good for some stuff. That that sub kinda sucked.

Sort of, I signed up for a subscription to the Podcast app to listen to a couple episodes of a podcast I wanted to hear, forgot to cancel within a week, got deducted $25 for a whole year.

The drink I am currently drinking

My new smartphone us a piece of shit and I can't return it because mom thought it was a good idea to throw the box away.

Dying light. Dislike zombie shit but someone hyped it up to me and I caved. Didnt like it

I bought a bottle of Sprite today.

It's fine, but I shouldn't drink soda unless it's Vanilla Coke (and even then probably not)

Beast Wars Rattrap reissue. The quality of the figure is much lower than the original release.

Bf 2042

A bottle of spicy brown mustard. I looked in the fridge before going to the store and didn't see any so I bought one. Went digging through the fridge later and found my other (still good and mostly full) bottle there.

It's just the cheap Kroger stuff so only wasted $1.50 but it was still a regret.

I mean, might as well get some use out of it, right? Be sure to wash your car and mow a lawn or two while wearing it. That'll show em.
