5 Purchases That Buyers Almost Always Regret

    5 Purchases That Buyers Almost Always Regret

    There are certain purchases that buyers tend to regret. Of course, that doesn’t mean everyone; there are plenty of happy boat and hot tub owners, and more than a few people count their timeshare property as a true delight. But when faced with one of the potential purchases listed here, it’s a good idea to take a step back and consider whether to buy it.

    1. Single Purpose Kitchen Equipment
      Some kitchen appliances, such as coffeemakers and toasters, earn their keep daily. But devices that are super-specific and can perform only one rarely needed task? They are not usually worth the money. Will you use a juicer, a bread maker, a hot dogger, or a food dehydrator? Maybe once or twice, but it is unlikely to earn the space it takes up on your kitchen counter.
    2. DVDs
      Most of us carry smartphones that fit in our pockets, and their video capabilities keep improving. However, hauling around a camcorder, storing it, and getting the videos off of it are chores few of us need.

    4. Extended Warranty
      You’ve bought the product, but the sales pitch isn’t over. Now your clerk is aiming to sell you an extended warranty, just in case the brand-new product breaks. Research the product you’re buying. Extended warranties can be complicated. First, check whether you have coverage through other sources, such as a manufacturer’s warranty or your credit card. You may not even need to pay for extra coverage.
    5. Desktop Computers
      Desktop computers once were a fantastic innovation, but few people need that kind of computing power these days. A tablet or laptop allows you to move your home office around and travel with your computer if you wish.
