Reddit Users Reveal Dumbest Purchases, And Some Are Incredibly Stupid

Reddit users aren't shy about blowing money on some very foolish items.

Buying a dumb item from time-to-time probably happens to all of us. It's the nature of having money burning a hole in your pocket.

You see something in a store, your adrenaline spikes, you make an impulse buy and then realize not too long after that it was a bit of a waste.

We've all been there, and there are plenty of stories to go around.

Reddit users dumbest purchases.

Well, don't feel bad about your impulse buys because some of the ones floating around a viral Reddit thread are a bit comical.

Check out some of the worst purchases people made below, and hit me with your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com:

• My Go-Pro camera 10 years ago. Turns out, I don't live the exciting life I thought I did.
• I bought a lot of games on Steam that I never played and most likely will never play. If I see a game very cheap I need to buy it lol
• I buy (kinda) expensive ingredients sometimes, and I forget I have them, and they go bad. Multiple times a month probably.
• Cigarettes.
• I was 11 and my dad gave me 50 bucks to spend at the mall. So, I wandered into a gift shop and spent it all on an electronic vibrating oinking pink pig. I never played with it after I brought it home. Tried to return it, only to be offered store credit.
• An engagement ring.
• A massage machine. I literally used it 3 times.
• A life-size Danny Devito cardboard cutout. I use him as a seasonal decoration so right now he's wearing a flower crown. In the winter he become a Christmas tree.
• My wedding. We are now divorced so I feel I could have used that money for something more worthwhile. Lesson learned.
• Strippers.
• Door dashed from next door.
• My ex girlfriend
• You know that box on your tax form that asks for $1 or $5 for the presidential re-election fund? I checked it. Once.
• Honestly, fast food. I always crave a specific thing and buy it and then it’s just ok. Why did I spend $20 on a sh*tty burger and fries? I could have just taken my lazy a** home and made better for cheaper.
• When I just turned 21, I went to a casino in Vegas where I played War, the card game, for $25 a hand. It was like being in the casino from National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation.
• Bottle service at the Wynn club in LV. Blew roughly 5k and only had a few drinks as most of the big bottles were sucked up by females who migrated from table to table. Upside was that Joe Rogan, Pink and her husband Carey Hart were sitting next to us and were very nice.

That last one actually feels like a punch to the gut for me in real-time. I will never understand why people go to clubs and pay prices that are comically marked up. Clubs are loud, cost way too much money and I've never had fun in one. They're awful even in VIP. I'd rather go to a random bar with the boys over a club that will kill my hearing.

Having said that, I did buy a few video games back in the day when I was a teenager that I barely played. I was bored, thought it would be a good idea, grabbed a few titles at GameStop and maybe played all of them a combined two or three hours. They're now gathering dust in a closet at my parents.

Other than that, I can't remember anything off the top of my head that I blew money on that I didn't really enjoy. Even gambling is worth it because I enjoy playing blackjack once a year. Is it a waste? Depends on how many free drinks I get along the way.
