10. Inkjet printer
Often people buy an inkjet printer for home use. You can print documents or photos, but there is one drawback. Although ink cartridges are inexpensive, they will often need to be replaced. They have a very uneconomical expense. In addition, if you intend to use the printer rarely, do not think that one cartridge is enough for you for a long time, it just dries up, and you have to buy a new one. Here is what a young man who has been using inkjet printers for a long time says: “I have always preferred inkjet because it is much cheaper. It seemed to me that this way I would save. In fact, I bought a lot of cartridges and more than one printer. They are short-lived in work. By the nature of my activity, I have to print a lot of documents. When I decided to buy a laser printer, my happiness knew no bounds. I had no more problems with the printer. ”
9. Cheap cotton buds
Low price - the most significant argument when buying for many. This applies to any product. Even cotton buds were no exception. It seems that the saved 10 - 20 rubles will not help to save up a big fortune. However, very often buyers (often women) hope that this will happen.

No saving, the roll ended 4 times faster than a two-layer one. And it costs only 1.5 times cheaper. Doubtful savings. "
7. Very cheap hotel room
What exactly is not worth saving on is travel. Stay only in proven places, do not chase a low price. Better to overpay a little than sacrifice your comfort. “I organized a short trip for my beloved. We traveled by car. I did not book a room, late at night we stayed at the cheapest hotel. We drove more than 10 hours and hoped to sleep and rest, but it wasn’t there. Someone was scandalous, a drunken company yelled songs, and someone else had too loud sex. The administrator did not solve our problem, referring to the low cost. The impression of rest was ruined. ”

A week later, the boxes stopped closing. It was necessary to support it in a certain way, only then it was possible to close it, and then not the first time. It turned out that manufacturers saved on guides. My husband had to buy new ones, he completely redid them. Now the chest of drawers closes, but the money and time spent make its cost not so profitable. ”
4. Glass furniture

I like to decorate the house. But one night, the table I bought at IKEA exploded. I can’t imagine what would happen if someone was there. Apart from my favorite flower, no one was hurt. At 3 a.m. I had to get up and clean the apartment. Then, for a long time, fragments were found all over the house, but I have a small child! ” By the way, this is not the only case.
