Did I really buy that?

A few years ago, when there were commercials on t.v. for metal wallets to protect credit/debit cards, I saw one in a convenience store, bought it, disliked it as soon as I got it home, but they didn't accept returns for refunds.
It was flat-out ugly, and I also found it was quite difficult to open. Wasted $10. plus tax.
 
An Afghan coat years ago during my 'hippy' phase, I could ill afford it but determined to have one, (it actually stank) ! and I think I wore it once...
 
A vegetable chopper / that cut the vegetables into cube shape .,the young man who was demonstrating them at the annual show made it look easy , but I just about had to put my foot on the thing to chop the veg it was so hard to push down to "chop them"
I'm going to the annual show tomorrow ..no,I won't fall for buying any stuff ..I have enough stuff cluttering the cupboards now

Oh heavens, I had one of those, too, that I bought in 1970 in Turkey! Made of pieces of (I guess) goatskin or sheepskin embroidered and sewn together with a big hood lined in fleece. It was a bit whiffy when it was dry, but when it got wet.....WHEW!! That was a powerful stink. It was definitely what every respectable "hippy" had to have back then. I bought that and a lot of "mod" stuff from a British girl who was part of a trio that was playing at the local club. The two guys had got picked up for hashish possession (it was not a good thing to be a foreigner caught with large quantities of drugs in Turkey....refer to the movie "Midnight Express") and she had to sell everything they owned to get the money to get back to London.

Most of the stuff I never wore back in the states as the midwest of America wasn't quite ready for it.

Oh, and I did buy one of those Ronco thingies that made square boiled eggs. Why did I need square boiled eggs....? I think I used it once.
 
A great big inflatable ball that you were suppose to do all kinds of exercises on to keep you thin and trim. I couldn't balance myself enough to even sit on it let alone do any type of exercises. Also a type of mesh hammock that was made for sitting only. I tied the ends to a very high tree branch. As I sat down it sort of swallowed me up and picked up momentum at the same time. I felt like I was in a human size sling shot. I had a terrible time stopping it so I could get out.
 
A juicer, didn't know you had to clean them. Bought it for $80 sold it used only once for $20. After the lady who bought it gave me the money she asked 'Why are you selling it so cheap?' I said, 'Wait til you have to clean it.'
