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.

Wow, they shouldn't have been selling that if they were going to discontinue the cups. That's just wrong. I would be angry too.

Oh, help me Rhonda---those awful cra(p) cakes---I threw those suckers out and got my money back!!!! And waaaaaaay back, I bought a huge box of those stoopid tap lights....anyone remember those? What a huge waste---in fact, I just unburied them a couple years ago and sent them to the trash. Also that dumb mouth exerciser thing ---$30 down the tubes. Have learned my lesson!!!!{#emotions_dlg.rolleyes}Don't buy anything anymore.

My list is too long. Some memorable things over the past years--litebites (company got sued for making false claims), body blade, the roly kit and its friend, the pilatto bakery box (which I actually use once in a while), the beachwaver. Ill fitting clothing (boxy or just plain odd fitting) is a big one. The big watch collections--the one with 10 straps. The straps usually fell apart after one or two wearings and really, I don't want to think that much when I'm getting dressed in the morning. The knockoff "M" watch that constantly fell apart. It fell apart for the last time about 3 months ago because I lost one of the parts. I notice they don't sell it any more.

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.

I cannot stop laughing at this. I'm sorry you had such a problem but I have a visual of you kicking the stuffing out of this scrubber and I can't stop laughing.

Yes,

Two years ago for Christmas, most of my wish list was QVC items. I ended up with 3 Denim and co sweater that pill horribly and let me just say with going through the change, sweaters are not my friend. They are still in my closet and I don't really wear yet I can't bring myself to get rid of them.

Another item, was a brush type curling iron that was nearly 100 dollars. Supposedly great for your hair etc. I honestly can't tell the difference between it and a 20 dollar curling iron.

Sadly, far too many of them - lol! The worst however was some mini sewing machine that never worked and due to shipping costs I never sent it back. The upside was it was my "aha" moment and I really chilled on my QVC purchases. I bought a total of 3 items in 2014 for a total of about $100.Cool

Wow, I thought I was the only one,especially when my hubby could not believe I bought the pole with like tubes for exercises. The bloody Instyler, and yes the crab cakes, the big black air purifiers x2! I did get my money back on those crab cakes .I also fell for the super expensive hairdryer , I still have it doesn't dry my hair any faster.Give me more time I can probably come up with a few more !

Happy you got a chuckle out of it! May I add every kick was accompanied by some really bad words, I called that sucker names that had never left these lips before. Freed me up though, been using them ever since!
