None of us want to see our hard-earned money go to waste. That’s what makes buying things of poor quality and other unnecessary spending so painful. But sometimes you can’t know that you’re spending money on something that is totally not worth it until you see what you got.

After such unsuccessful attempts at shopping, many people let their frustrations online, and today, we’re bringing them all to one bittersweet list – arguably only amusing to those who weren’t the ones paying. If you’re curious to see what people were frustrated about, scroll down to find netizens’ instances of ‘money not so well spent’ on the list below and use this as a reminder – buy cheap, buy twice.

On the list below you will also find Bored Panda’s interview with an expert in personal finance, the co-founder and CEO of ‘Spring Planning’, and the co-author of “Women & Money”, Julia Chung, who was kind enough to answer a few of our questions about saving money.

There appears to be two different types of behaviours in cats, the tree-loves, and the cave-dwellers. Some cats like being up high, on cat trees, the top of the wardrobe etc, and others like a safe retreat at ground level.

My cat is both. His favorite spot is my dark, enclosed bedroom closet (I have to keep the door ajar for 24/7 access)... but up on the top shelf.

    It looks like a robin egg, but if it is then the picture has been staged. Robins are very good nest builders and lay three or more eggs. They certainly don't lay out in the open like this.

    Reminds me of how I bought life-sized plastic ravens to keep pigeons off my balcony... and they were scared at first, but at some points the pigeons became friends with the "ravens," making them mostly useless, except as a means to physically occupy the space where the pigeons would land.

    Here in California we're not allowed to rehome the raccoons or to exterminate. They get to keep living on your property as long as they want. All you can do is block holes so they don't get in the house. Opossums too.

    Sometimes animals just take advantage of the vacancy when another animal leaves. We got one of our cats that way. The one we had died and a semi-stray that was largely cared for at a nearby business saw an opportunity for a full-time residence.

    Have you ever found yourself in the “you have to save money” and “treat yourself” limbo? If you have, you might take comfort in knowing that you are definitely not alone. Arguably especially relevant for young adults, who are trying to create a life for themselves, at the same time trying to actually enjoy living life, such a limbo can feel really draining.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Take something fun, like a concert or traveling, for instance. Both might be quite costly, but on the other hand, you will never be this young again, so what better time is there to enjoy one or the other? (Or both?)

    For many, feeling torn between saving money and ‘living life’ results in them looking for middle ground – buying the cheapest concert ticket, for instance, or looking for affordable ways to get from point A to point B. But the former might result in a seat with no visibility whatsoever and the latter – sleeping in airports, neither of which make the two experiences any more enjoyable.

    My Husband Was Very Upset About This Cake. Thoughts?

    Top image of beautifully decorated number cake; bottom image shows a messy, regrettable cake fail.

    The baker we ordered it through said it was "no problem" and she's done "many like it". It was $175 plus he tipped her $20. She dropped it off at our house at 6am (she was supposed to bring it around noon-2pm) so in the chaos of her literally waking him from a deep sleep with the doorbell and handing her the tip (he prepaid for the actual cake so he didn't have to handle that), he didn't even think to check it and she didn't offer (probably because she knew it's not what we wanted lol). He stuck it straight in the fridge and didn't even look at it until we were getting ready for my party, and he was heartbroken. We don't usually order cakes like this, we just don't have the money, but he wanted to do something nice for me this year because we've had a lot of crap going on. He was very upset with the final product. Not only was it ugly and not what he wanted, but it tasted awful, it was very bland but also VERY salty. He reached out to her about it, but heard nothing back whatsoever, so he left a review showing the pictures. Her site isn't up anymore, or on Google. 🤷🏼‍♀️

    Wait - there was a fee just to go into the pumpkin patch? I've never seen that before; you pay for the pumpkins you take home, sure, and any of the carnival items they may have to help draw folks in (pony ride, face painting, snacks), but never just to enter the place. Is this typical now, or a fluke?

    There's an old farm near me that used to be the best place to buy giant pumpkins and heirloom pumpkins that just had a little shack for the check stand. The only thing that cost extra was the corn maze for like $2 dollars. They added a petting zoo and a couple of small carnival rides and now it costs $21 dollars per adult and $16 for kids just to get in the gate. The pumpkins are an extra charge based on size.

    Can't speak for everyone of course, nor can I speak about current pumpkin patches as I've not been to one in several years, but the appeal for me is the shape of the pumpkins. The ones in the grocery store tend to all look alike: very round, very perfect. I prefer mine to have bulges, dents, and bumps so that the resulting jack-o-lantern will have a little character to it. (Edited to fix typo)

    Be it traveling, a concert, or anything else, for that matter, it’s important to think long and hard about what it is that you want and if it’s worth spending your money on. In many cases, it is, so you can go ahead and treat yourself; but when it’s not, taking a moment to think about it can really help minimize unnecessary spending.

    Discussing unnecessary spending, the personal finance expert Julia Chung pointed out that the things we tend to regret buying are the stuff that isn’t aligned with our values; like visiting a place we didn’t even want to go to or dining in a restaurant with people we don’t like. Thinking things through beforehand might help avoid such situations.

    Go sit at the very front, in front of the first row, right in the way of the professor. Make it hard for him/her to get around up there, and if the prof asks you to move to the back, tell them you can't hear or see. And that you paid to be in the class and expect a seat and a place to take notes.

    Many, many, many years ago, I had a university history class with a somewhat ... controversial professor. I got there early, and had a seat, but soon, it was packed, not only at the back, but in the aisles. The professor said "Don't worry. Next week, many of these people won't be here. Now that they know who's teaching this class, they'll drop." By the end of the term, only about a 3rd of the first 3 rows were full. Certainly, the class was demanding, and absolutely, and certainly the professor had a somewhat robust way of expressing himself, but I thought he was brilliant. Nothing like the rumors.

    The expert continued to note that there is no ‘one right way’ to spend your money other than a way that is aligned with your values and your goals for the future.

    Just like there is no right way to spend money, there is no one right way to save money, either – while some tips and tricks regarding saving can be helpful to many, what works for one person may not necessarily work for another.

    Discussing advice for those struggling to save money, Julia Chung emphasized that it’s important not to beat yourself up about it. “Sometimes we're struggling to save money because we just don't have enough,” she told Bored Panda. “I've read enough personal finance media, books, texts to know that what people hear all the time is that it's some kind of moral failing on our part if we can't save money. It's not. The first thing to do is to stop beating yourself up.”

    “The second piece of advice is to be realistic: Do you actually have enough to save?” Chung continued. “Sometimes you do because you've been spending on things you don't even care about. Sometimes you do because there are changes you've been wanting to make in big places like the cost of your housing and transportation that you just haven't pulled the trigger on.

    “It's not coffee or avocado toast that is getting you in financial trouble, by the way. It's larger expenses, whether housing, transportation, holidays, and so on, that really make it tough,” the expert added.

    Look, I'm a music student, so I cheap out on a lot of things.. but not boots. Crappy boots cost more in the long run, because you have to replace them. They also cost you in suffering when your socks get soggy, they start to hurt, or they fall apart at an inconvenient moment. I saved up for some nice boots that I've been wearing since 2017. They still hold up against water. I wish that I could save up for other nice things in life, but you have to pick and choose.

    “Other times, you simply don't have enough,” Chung noted. “You may be in a low-paying job in an expensive part of the world and you are scraping your way up. You might be a single parent just trying to get through each month with enough food in the pantry. Those are really good reasons to not have enough to save. It doesn't mean you never will, but it might mean you don't right now.

    “I often tell parents of very young children that if you can save anything during those first 7 or so years, I'm impressed with you. Reduced income, increased housing and childcare and living expenses all combine to make those times in your life really tough.”

    One of the supposed advantages of renting through Airbnb or VRBO is the ability to recover your payment when there's a significant problem. They should have contacted Airbnb as soon as they discovered the problem, in which case I'd expect a substantial refund. Next choice is a dispute with your credit card company (as it happens, I just got the letter saying a dispute over a completely different type of issue with Lowes was resolved in my favor). Also, if the host doesn't step up on their own, write a scathing, but honest review.

    They're way over priced, and I'd be wildly surprised if those seat weren't designated as having a restricted view. Of course it's entirely possible that the venue is honest bout it, but the OP bought them in some manner that didn't include that info. Could even have been bought from an original customer by using StubHub.

    They aren't always very detailed. For example, if that wall is surrounding stairs, the seating chart would probably only indicate stairs. However, seats like this are supposed to be listed as obstructed view.

    During times when it’s difficult or impossible to save up money, it might be good to try and imagine when such tough times might end, Chung suggests. “Plan for those. What will you do when you get there? Yes, you might increase your lifestyle a bit – that's fair.

    Noooo don't eat that! I'd never have let anyone purchase that! (Am cashier.) Look, lesson in biology for you all: microscopic organisms are still alive, which means they eat, breathe, grow, and multiply. That breathing will fill any container with air, so if you have a package of food with a lot of air where there shouldn't be, DON'T BUY IT!!! Be it milk, oj, meats, or salads, or anything shrink wrapped that still somehow has air in it. It's a sure sign of contamination. If I spot this in my customers' groceries, I will pull it and see to it they get a replacement. It's not worth getting food poisoning. PS for the high-altitude comments: I live in the Midwest. Nowhere near high altitude.

    Even Ryanair don't charge extra for window or aisle seats. The prices varies by how near they are to a door, or if they have extra legroom. If they could they would take all the seats out and make people stand.

    But that's how Murphy's Law works! The most reliable way to find missing item is to replace it! The more expensive, the more reliable this method is! EDIT: And I just demonstrated this. Last week, a friend of mine who is connected to the Edgar Rice Burroughs estate loaned me a complete set of Burroughs' 'Venus' books. (ERB. Inc. is looking for people to write new books to keep some of their less well-known properties, e.g. NOT Tarzan or John Carter of Mars, alive). He thought I might try writing new novels in the 'Carson Napier of Venus' series. So, I started in to read the first one - 'Pirates of Venus'. I had it in my pocket when I went to hospital to visit a friend. When I got home, it was gone. I got on ABEBooks and ordered a replacement. Half an hour ago, I found the original in the back seat of my car.

    You probably didn't follow the directions 100%. When I worked in a deli I was the only one that could put the antifog spray on the windows and it was actually antifog. I tried to explain to everyone that if there's any fog when you put it on then it won't work.. it will just make the fog worse. And the window has to start out almost 100% clean. Then it works perfectly. If you use the spray stuff you also need to rub it in completely.

    I deal with similar issues with guests like this daily. We’ve “garden, “golf,” “ocean view tower, “ocean view” & “oceanfront” room types. The first two are pretty obvious and a much lower rate ($990/night) than the others. However, the “ocean view tower” rooms have partially obstructed views, which not only is highlighted in italics in the description, but you can click in the room link and see the actual view from all 220 rooms. Guests don’t read that & opt for the $1290 tower room over the non-obstructed, $1790 “ocean view.” We also deal with issues of guests not understanding the difference between a view of the ocean and oceanfront, with rooms directly in front of the ocean. Then there’s our beachfront rooms that are ground floor & have direct access to the beach via an open space outdoor patio, but they’re reserved for beach club members who typically stay for two weeks or longer. If the hotelier is selling the above room as lake view without mentioning it is obstructed, that’s a shady hotel.

    I learned long before the internet made it easy to see (more) pictures that the terminology usually tells you what you're getting. "Ocean view" can mean an unobstucted view, but the view is from a side that's perpendicular to the ocean. in some places ocean view has a great view of he ocean, but is not at ground level so you can't just walk off of the patio. I'd take issue with "ocean view tower" because it makes me think it probably has a better view, perhaps based on being higher, but as long as there's an accurate description it's okay. "Ocean front" on any honest place, will directly face the ocean, and may mean you're on the ground floor, with doors to a patio instead of a balcony.

    Company I Bought A Sculpture From Claims "Approx. 12cm" Equates To 7cm

    Mini crow sculpture beside ruler with chat screenshots about unexpected measurement discrepancies.

    I bought this bird sculpture for my dad for Christmas and spent, what for us, is quite a bit of money on it (£90). It's just arrived and there is visible glue around the beak, its legs are so uneven in length it can't stand up, and it's less than a third the advertised size. I contacted the company, TwentyTwenty One, to arrange a return and refund, and whilst that's possible (which is good though still annoying), the person on the company chat tried to convince me that 8cm is approx. 12cm. They even told me that it's actually the height standing up that counys - which if it could, would make it only 7cm. That feels like that's a push, right? Anyway, the interaction with customer service upgraded this from a mildly frustrating moment for me to a mildly infuriating one for me.

    The thing with these 'bad seat' entries is that when you buy the ticket, you're told it's an obstructed view and due to that it's a cheaper price. Should've bought the 45€ ticket with an actual view.

    These seats are popular with blind people. There's usually a big discount on obstructed view tickets and if you can't see anyway it doesn't matter. My dad enjoys being in the mix with other fans at cricket matches and couldn't care less if he's behind a post.

    These seats should be forbidden. The stadium could put in a table or something between the two surrounding seats with views and upcharge those seats for the table. It would work and they'd recoup the loss of the seat value

    Diamonds are neither rare nor intrinsively valuable. The prices just were artificially increased by a huge marketing campaign by a specific diamond merchant at one time, and "traditions" like the fixation on diamond wedding and engagement rings kept the demand going.

    Live in San Francisco for my entire life. It’s where my grandparents and mom lived, too. First rule of Carl (the fog, which is actually a marine layer) is expect him to stick around all day in the warmer months. Something to do with the bay and Central Valley (which gets up to 110° in summer) sucking in that marine layer 100 miles, reaching Sacramento. Then as the day heats up, it flows back to the ocean. So, chances are you won’t see the bridge. April and October are perfect months with plenty of fog free bridge viewing. Anytime in Spring or Fall usually works unless it’s unseasonably hot. We have (had) “KFOG (radio station) Kaboom” fireworks shows in late Spring because of Carl. The 4th of July is traditionally too foggy for fireworks shows. I forget the exact meteorology behind it, but it has to do with convection.

    this usually happens with delivery to the house or the store. my parents bought a tv from the store and set up blankets and bubble wrap in the car so nothing happened on the way home. wen the opened it the screen was cracked. an employee from the store helped put the tv in the car so he saw the cautious setup my parents had. they went back and found him and showed him the tv. he instantly went to get them not only a newer better model that was $500 more then the one they got but he also checked the tv right infront of them before giving it to them. my mom said he took awhile to come out with the other tv. he told them he checked every box from the same shipment the original tv came from and almost half had cracked screens. he gave them an upgrade as an apology even tho it wasnt the stores fault. no matter what theres a chance that ppl in the delivery service dont care about their jobs and will ignore how to properly handle things. bc of this i always check wat i ordered gift or not so i kno if i need to replace it or not right away

    Boxed Pro Power save device placed on a table, related to spending money regrets.

    She called me and told me she had a gift for me. To come over and pick it up. So I did. She excitedly hands me this and tells me how it’s supposed to to save me 100s of dollars on my power bill. Tells me how it cleans my dirty electricity from my appliances and it was developed by ELON MUSK…. Wow!! It’s so amazing I can’t even believe it!!

    From a commenter on the original post: I just went down the rabbit hole. Every site it’s advertised on includes a money back guarantee but also has a disclaimer at the bottom that they’re just a “marketplace” and are not responsible for returns. If you follow the link to the manufacturer, they require all of the original packaging to process a refund and don’t refund the original shipping cost (which they can completely make up). They also have a 15% restocking fee. To take it further, most of their registration information is redacted but I was able to link some to two older websites that were flagged for ransomware.

    As moggie says, electricity can be "dirty". In theory alternating current should follow a perfect sine wave with no variation in amplitude or frequency. In reality there can be a lot of variation, depending on the source. Cleaning dirty electricity can potentially increase efficiency, but protecting sensitive equipment is the usual reason to do it. As a fairly wild guess any actual savings are probably 1 to 2% at best. Untitled-6...cda335.jpg Untitled-673bbddcda335.jpg

    That's quite common (at least where I come from). I bought my apartment from an old lady and she did that. Before that, I lived with my mom and when we got the apartment painted, we did that. In both cases, the main reason was because the most of the furniture was attached to the walls (wardrobes, cabinets, desks, ...).

    It's possible the first ring is from the company website, and they had it made in different colors/jewels. They just used the professional pic for how it was supposed to look since they didn't photograph it until it was broken.

I ran to one of my best friends, also a bridesmaid. She had me take my pants off, and she used 3 safety pins to keep it together. What's the problem with the post? This honestly happened.

    If it actually has all the drawings but just super tiny, then this is actually pretty cool to have. They should have mentioned it of course, because most people will prefer a normal sized one that is easy to read. But I can definitely see some people buying a miniature version of their favorite one, just as a cool collector's item.

    Yes. The oils from skin combined with age break down the coating, causing it to get sticky. At least at that point, it can usually be removed with isopropyl alcohol.

    This. I once tried to replace a pair of $15 Sony headphones that weren't great, but good enough for music on a phone. Turns out they were discontinued, but I found one pair somewhere. The mesh over the earpiece foam started coming off as soon as I opened the package.Turns out they'd probably been in a warehouse almost as long as I'd had the previous pair.

    Dropped $330 On A "New" Vacuum Cleaner On Sale For Memorial Day

    Dropped $330 On A "New" Vacuum Cleaner On Sale For Memorial Day

    Drove 1.5 hours to a big box store, saw that one of the vacuum cleaners one our list of potential buys was on sale for more than $100 off! Drove home, cut the box open, and started unpacking. My first clue something was off was the dust covering the brush rolls. Continued to unpack and found I spent over $300 for a used vacuum. So thank you to whoever reboxed this used vacuum to still look new from the outside so that I could waste my time and money on it.

    Typically when buying anything online a reputable vendor has several pictures to scroll through showing the size. I know for a fact Coach shows the purse size on a model, even an after market seller would "usually" upload the same photos. What I do if I don't see this type of picture is google the item or look through product reviews where people will have pics or warn about the size...

    This is always my go to when people complain about giving money to the homeless and say they use it on booze and d***s. The word "give" does not mean "give with strings attached". If you want someone to use your money in the way YOU want them to, then you can buy the item yourself and give that, have the person sign a contract, or sue them afterwards (good luck on that one). But if you're not going to do any of those three, just quit your whining and/or your giving.

    Couch Doesn’t Fit (Horizontally) Into Room

    Couch Doesn’t Fit (Horizontally) Into Room

    I bought an 8’ couch. It doesn’t fit horizontally around a corner, so I had to carry it in vertically. Problem is, my ceiling is 8’ and there’s absolutely no room for the couch to tip down from this position.
    Do I have any options? Partially break the couch and repair it? Partially break the ceiling/flooring so I can tilt the couch then fix it? Any suggestion is welcome at this point.

    Take it out the same way. Then slightly angle it while in the vertical orientation and move it in.

    I once had a large sofa delivered by a furniture company. They tried to leave it in the hall of the apartment building, claiming that it "wouldn't fit." They literally took it back to the store, had it disassembled, and had a company reassemble it in the apartment. We eventually moved and never had to disassemble it...it's definitely all about the angles (and the balconies)! 😉

    If OP is saying the wall used to be painted with whiteboard paint so you can write on the whole wall, that stuff never holds up. You can never keep it clean, certain colors don't erase well, there's nowhere to set the markers, a surprising number of people will accidentally use a permanent marker on it. Whiteboards are better, the glassy kind are more expensive, but are the best.

    Tempered glass is still glass at the end of the day, and you still need to be delicate transporting it. Only difference is that it shatters into smaller, less shaper, square pieces, and not massive sharp pieces. Granted, this could have been mishandled in shipping, or the kid handling it.

    You reminded me of a situation years ago, when I was on the construction crew here where I work. I was the person who people would come to if they wanted to hang a bulletin board in their office, of needed a specific piece of furniture built, etc. One day one of the engineers came to me and said he needed a bulletin board hung in his office, but the office manager had said not to put holes in the wall. I went to her and asked her how I was supposed to hang the bulletin board without putting holes in the wall. She replied "I told him HE couldn't put holes in the wall. You go ahead and do whatever you need to do."

    Clear wrapping paper, or cellophane, is brilliant way of keeping things together, and looking wrapped, whilst still being able to see inside. I've used tissue paper and cellophane together, and it looks beautiful. It's also fantastic for wrapping flowers and plants.

    If it says 100% cotton = jeans as they are supposed to be in their original form. 95% cotton and 5% elasthane = stretching jeans. And what OP is doing is what we did as teenagers 40+ years ago with the original jeans: Buy them as tight fit, get into the tub, get out and bend (stretch) them by doing gymastics and let them dry on your body. They fit your body then, until the next hot wash. PS: You don't "have to". Just buy jeans in a size that firs your body.

    Some people I know have done this with new leather riding boots that are tight. (Soak them and let them dry while you wear them around) Personally I find that scary because good boots are expensive - but there are others who swear by it.

    This was what people would do all the time in the 70s, to make their jeans fit better, according to my mom.

    Your mum is correct, but the jeans were shrink-to-fit, not stretch.

    This used to be what you did with your Levis years ago. Shrink to fit, not stretch..

    Gave me a bit of an eye twitch myself. Possibly besides the faux drama, it's all the extraneous punctuation.

    Denim isn't a stretching fabric... Not sure why you'd expect it too, unless you only know jeans from 'relaxed fit' jeans with spandex in the waist area.

    There are jeans fabric mixed with cotton that stretches.

    One shrinks jeans, stretching comes with old worn out fabric.

    I have never bought a pair of stretch jeans in my life.

    My mom always told me about doing exactly this when she was young.

    Why is this person bathing with their pants on? And why is this person not buying pants the right size and need to stretch?
