Things that are a waste of money

Beacuase James Ford told me football is a waste of money I thought why not a thread of things that are a waste of money so people will know to avoid them.  Please no Lumineers tickets or the like.  This is a freaking serious thread.

Electric can openers:  A manual can opener will open a can quicker and never breaks.  Works when the electricity is out.  Which is a time you really  need canned food.  Also how do you santize an electric can opener? 

i went to the lumineers show this year at dar. they played there hit song twice.  what a waste of money that was.

And you wonder why no one posts on this site.

To the best of my memory I've only seen two bands play a song twice.  Modern English, "Melt with You", and the Anti-Nowhere League "For You".  Both at Upstairs At Nicks in Philadelphia.  Coincidence?

Iggy and the Stooges played I Wanna be Your Dog twice when I saw them at 9:30 back in 07.

expensive weddings
baby cribs and strollers other than jogging strollers
most things Disney

Starship played "We built this city" 2-1/2 times in Baltimore on whatever the hell that tour was.  Glass Tiger was the opening band.  Some shitty comedian opened for them.  The only good thing was that I got those tix for free.  Still not worth it.

Also not worth it, even for free:

Over-priced craft beers.
Over-priced Record Store Days records.

Unless you are rolling in it, sometimes you have to be able to see the hype and get past it before you can determine whether or not it's a waste of money or a worthwhile investment. That's not saying there's not any value in either of these products. Both can be a very enjoyable and a high art form but neither are truly necessary.

As long as one is only dipping into descretionary funds and feels that portion spent is worth it, than so be it. My point has to do with the over-pricing. Have no desire to get into an economics discussion about this and it could pertain to everything mentioned in this thread. Only saying that sometimes both these products manage to work their way over to the 'waste of money' list after the hype wears off.

This thread is about bands who play their hits twice….please stay on topic.

Vanilla Ice did Ninja Rap twice, one a full song, then in a medley….does that count?

Disposable diapers.Cloth diapers server the same purpose and cost much less in the long run.

One man's hobby is another man's waste of money.
