'Cheese from the dollar store': 30+ Purchases people will never make again

These people had buying experiences that were so bad, they had to share it with the world. And thank goodness they did, because now we know a bunch of items that just aren't worth wasting money on.

Buying a new thing only to have it not work is infuriating. Lately I've stopped buying things from the billion-dollar company named after a rainforest, because the stuff I get from there just does not work. You really do get what you pay for, sadly. I bought a few headphone accessories from one seller on the app, and they worked for about two weeks. Then, they slowly stopped working. How convenient: it was too late to ship them back by the time they broke. Sure, I saved money at first, but since I needed to buy dongles from the official retailer when the knockoffs didn't work, I learned my lesson.

I'm not alone in this experience, either. A lot of people in the thread below bought new tech or gear, only to realize that when their items broke, the company gave them the runaround. Like there was one poor stressed-out person who really needed a new laptop for their college classes, but when they got it, it was broken from the start. Customer support had them running in circles, calling different numbers and getting nowhere fast. They ended up not even being able to use their new computer!

Check out u/1337ish's question they posed to the Ask Reddit community: "What is something that you are never… buying again?" The answers were very enlightening!
