inDropped $180 on a dovetail jig that sits in my shop collecting dust
My buddy did the same thing with a biscuit joiner at a show in Indy. Guy made it look like magic, then my friend got it home and realized he could count on one hand the times he actually needed it. Now it lives under his bench next to the other regrets.

inThat $85 'book club starter kit' turned out to be a total paperweight
The timer thing is the real killer for me. Ours had this whole sand hourglass setup that was supposed to keep people from rambling past their turn, but the second someone's phone buzzed, the sand and the cards and the little voting pads all just sat there. Last month we spent twenty bucks on these laminated question cards and now they live under a stack of napkins in my kitchen. The one thing that survived is the cheap stuff, like a plain notebook we pass around to jot down next month's pick. Honestly the group runs itself on group chat polls and whoever remembers to bring snacks.

inSpent $40 on a 3 AM blacklight to find cat pee, that's not what it found
Did you at least put on some gloves and safety glasses before you turned your living room into an episode of CSI? Because that is exactly how these things go, you buy a cheap tool to solve one small problem and end up with ten new ones. In my experience the pee spot is usually still glowing a weird yellow green while every other stain just looks like a faint blur, so maybe wait until dark and check it from a few feet back. Your mileage may vary on that trick but it saved me from scrubbing half my kitchen for no reason. Worst part is now you know too much about that wall and you can never unsee it.
