People have been sharing the impulse buys they’ll never admit to regretting – 17 purchases that have been left to gather dust
Our spending habits can be very sensitive. And while we can justify most of our purchases, there are those that defy sense which we struggle to let go.
To learn more about those items which perhaps should’ve been left in the basket because no they’re just gathering dust, Reddit user Last-Sample-7223 put the following question to the rash consumers over at r/AskReddit:
‘What’s an impulse buy that’s now just collecting dust but you’d never admit you regret?’

‘I purchased 3x metal detectors. One for each of my children, and one for whichever parent decides to take them metal detecting.
‘Now, I don’t regret the metal detectors which are owned by the kids, because they are surprisingly still enthusiastic.
I regret spending $150 nzd on the third one, because the reality is that if you take a young adult who has autism and his 6 year old brother on a trip to the beach, the adult’s role is holding on to their stuff whilst they dig for treasure.’
