We have the least sharp knives in the world, but we have yet to buy new ones. We just use dull ass knives to prepare dinner and deal with it. I don’t know why we don’t get sharper ones or a sharpener, but I think it’s because our knife block is still functional, so we don’t bother.
Garbage bags.
I’m literally throwing money away.
Probably my phone. On one hand I’ve outsourced my thinking to a little electronic device, but on the other hand I’ve outsourced my thinking to a little electronic device.
Worst for our skin? Makeup
Still using it daily? Yes lol
Microsoft Word.

That one old pillow I’ve had forever. It’s flat and kinda lumpy but I still sleep on it every night.
I live with my friend who is also my landlord, thus most appliances etc in communal areas belong to him.
He is long term keto so doesn’t eat bread and hasn’t for years, but has this expensive toaster anyway with bells and whistles such as a loading bar that counts down til your toast is done, and a button you can press to lift the toast up and down again so you can peek at how done it is.
Well, the damn thing started malfunctioning and now it toasts super slowly and unevenly, i’m a pale toast gal and I have to blast it on the longest time to get okayish toast. WORSE, it does the peek thing on its own so while i’m tapping my foot for it to hurry up my toast bobs up and down taunting me
My couch is very narrow and uncomfortable, but it was free and I can’t afford the one that I want, so feathers are going to keep poking me for a while!
My stupid yummy coffee creamer that I know is full of crap ingredients… but I love my coffee all yummy and poisonous. I am super careful about the ingredients in everything else I eat. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
Gasoline.
Artificially flavored coffee creamer. I have easy access to excelleny dairy and I still use coffee cake flavored oat creamer. I’m so gross 😢
Paper towels
That one pen that barely writes unless I scribble first.
Word.
Honestly? Those cheap hair ties that either snap mid-day or rip half my hair out when I take them off… and yet I keep buying them in bulk.
Insurance. I’m paying multiple companies a large portion of my income every month. Best case scenario, I never see any of that money again and they never do anything for me. Worst case, I still pay a large amount of my own money in an emergency and spend considerable time and effort trying to prove that they should return the money I gave them to cover the rest.
I do this for my home, my car, my valuables, my body, and for some reason, my eyes and teeth (not part of my body, I guess??)
The search function in Microsoft Outlook emails.
Never works as calls up just about everything, yet I still try in hope.
Plastic anything.
Soda. It’s horrible for me. I drink that shit anyway.
Snus. Its terrible for me, expensive and every morning i get nicotine shock. Ive tried to quit many times and am determined to quit again but i have spent so much money and years of my life on this shit. If you aren’t addicted to nicotine yet, please don’t ever use any forms of it, it really isn’t worth it.
Coffee creamer, dryer sheets, paper plates. 😟
Probably Splenda.
microsoft teams. i hate you teams.
Deet based insect repellents. It’s the only thing that works. It’s better than ross river virus or dengue fever but I’m under no illusions that it’s great for me
Wiping everything with Clorox wipes sometimes I have the medical grade but most times it’s just those cheap Clorox wipes from the Dollar General.
I can’t help it, if I go into a bathroom, I have to wipe the toilet down, I have to wipe the sink down and then some people’s houses that you go to they are so disgusting they use their bathroom like a truck stop, spit in the sink and just leave it there never think to wipe or wash the sink out after they use it.
And the bathtub is a whole another issue, I don’t even use at anyone’s house how can you get into a shower take a shower and then not scrub the tub in the shower down behind yourself what the hell is that.
Apple products
Cars.
Diet Cokeeeee
Cox cable. Sucks.
Deodorant. I can’t do the “natural” no aluminum ones. I’m far FAR too stinky and sweaty. I need the cancer one, unfortunately.
Honorable mention: coffee creamer.
The builder grade crap materials I haven’t replaced yet in my small but nice sized house. Lousy toilets, plumbing, cheap cabinets coming apart, always something.
The computer!!!!

my bar soap, i wont say the name but its cheap lol
This is no longer true, but was true up until only a few days ago.
Tongs that are impossible to clean on the arm part. I could only find some that have the arms folded/ridged over so they are impossible to clean. Horrible!
I did find some with smooth flat arms now though. Although… They are shorter than normal tongs so not as easy to use. Bummer!
