Do you have a "What was I thinking?" QVC purchase? Maybe O/T

Hello Beauty Board! I only check in on this BB board regularly and someone recently posed the question..how long have you been with the Q? Many of us have a couple of decades we can account for and today..still probably have those items. I thought for grins and giggles it would be fun to hear about purchases we made when we were weak and look back shaking our heads thinking...WHAT WAS I THINKING? For me hands down...and I have this embarrassing reminder everyday the hideous Joe Campanelli leopard print mop. I shake my head every time I see that handle. Anyone care if you dare to share??????

If anyone remembers when Joy Mangano was on Qvc selling those plastic jewelry boxes and rolly kits. I bought both and when I think about it now I cannot believe I fell for that, the jewelry boxes were plastic. I buy clothes or skin care lately so if i don't like it I try to send it back right away.

For me it was the denim and company pull on jeans (as well as HSN Cervelle ones) in all different colors that I bought in the 80's. Was purging clothing and found 6 pairs and just couldn't imagine why I got them as they are not my style at all but for some reason I was mesmerized by them and all the colors. I never even wore some of them either. What was I thinking!!!

The Instyler for me. What a hot burning piece of junk! I can't believe I spent that much money, but even worse, can't believe I didn't return it!!

This will get deleted but recently the air innovations humidifier that stopped working after gave this brand another chance as purchased 4 or 5 years ago had the same problem. No more.

Thank goodness the high shipping costs have caused me to pause and really consider purchases before making them! Seriously!

Many years ago it was a rug shampooer that kept leaking so badly that one day when I was trying to use it I got so ticked I hauled off and kicked the bejeezus out of it. Out to the curb it went for garbage pickup.

Hi All! For me, it was Supersmile. Did I really just spend $65 on toothpaste? I see no visible results, so I'm feeling a little "buyers remorse." Lately, I have become much more selective about my purchases, and as another poster said, QVC's terrible shipping prices make it easy for me to be less tempted.

Thank you for sharing this. I wanted to get the Instyler!

The Keuring Vue. Big mistake, since they stopped making the Vue cups right after I bought it. My friend is giving me an adapter for it, which is very nice of her! But I am still angry about the purchase.
