Have you ever bought anything that you thought would save you money, but you regret buying it now?

Yes and they are both sitting in my kitchen cabnit; a meat slicer and a juicer. i do use the meat slicer some, but the juicer makes bitter tasting juice so I don't use it hardly ever.

I don't regret this, but I was thinking just this week that I need to use my bread machine more often. I tend to go in streaks with it.

We switched our phones over to Vonage to save money...worked great for about 6 months. Turns out there has been an oversight with AT&T...we should have been paying them a fee for having a DSL line. We just had to pay about $300 to get everything straightened out. It would have been easier to stay with AT&T to begin with.

sometimes i regret buying a house so early in our marriage. our apartment wasn't that much more expensive per month, maintenance was free, and we didn't have to concern ourselves with yard work.

Add an apple to whatever you are juicing to make the juice naturally sweeter. I hated my juicer at first until I learned this trick. Also, if one apple doesn't make it sweet enough, try adding an additional one until you get it to your taste. You can also remove the peel of some things to keep it from being so bitter.

Yes, my food network brand 4 in 1 indoor grill. It does not work well at all and it was pretty expensive.
