Anything you NEVER USE that you just had to have? Why? Do you buy to have or buy to use?

    I have a $200 first aid kit that I bought when I first started using a chain saw - I have never had to use it but I think its the best $200 I ever spent. Cheers and happy weekend!

    That makes PERFECT SENSE Nanoose! You bought an insurance policy. You hope you never have to use it. Thank you for your reply and Happy Saturday! :)

    I hate wasting money, but I am guilty sometimes of doing just that.  During my losing weight period, I bought an expensive piece of equipment for exercise though the mail (free shipping too) and then I never used it but once or twice.  It lay around for years in my closet until my mother ordered me to face reality and GET IT OUT OF THE HOUSE. LOL

    My idea was right. I thought if I invested money in something it would arouse the natural incentive to USE the thing. I was wrong this time.  It had worked for me, this strategy many times.  It is not fool-proof.

    I purchased 2 expensive coins to fill my collections...just to say I did. I gave the sets to my kids, so they really didn't go to waste.
