We asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the dumbest shit they've ever bought. Here are the weird, funny, and pointless things they've spent money on.
1. "When I was 12, I bought these lights for $20 that clipped on your glasses for reading. The light illuminated like three words at a time, so you had to move your whole head to read."
2. "I was drunk and paid $100 for my friend and I to have our picture taken with Riff Raff (I also bought a pair of his $75 Pit Viper sunglasses)."
3. "I commissioned a custom stained glass portrait of my cat. I think it was a pretty good use of $200."
4. "I spent $200 when I was 22 on a necklace that was supposed to bring me good luck from the Mystic Alchemist."
5. "I spent $68 on an 'amazing moisturizer' that made me break out. LOL."
6. "A $300 AstroTurf indoor dog potty. My puppy wanted absolutely nothing to do with it."
7. "The dumbest thing I ever bought was an 'acre of Mars.' I wanted to give one to my boyfriend."
8. "A large stuffed Pusheen for $70 that I drunkenly bought on my birthday."
9. "A ‘Wax Vac’ from Bed Bath and Beyond. It didn’t work at all, and made my ears feel weird."
10. "Salt and pepper shakers shaped like squirrels. For no other reason but to look at them and laugh."
11. "I found this metal helmet at a bargain store for $15. I collect Lord of the Rings replicas, but this is obviously not one, and it has literally no purpose."
12. "A friend of mine bought expensive-ass math books from a girl who he thought was cute, but he didn't even need them."
13. "I spent a heavy chunk of change on this bead art of the ship OtaYuri from the anime Yuri!!! on Ice at a convention."
