I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

My dental aligners :(

I've been trying to get braces since I was a teenager, so long that I kind of lost sight of why I wanted braces. I was almost 30 when I finally took my savings to an orthodontist and told him I wanted braces, and he told me that the aligners would work better than braces.

And he was right. That's not the problem. I got so caught up with the general idea of braces that I'd forgotten that my goal as a kid was to fix my jaw, not my teeth. Even braces won't do that at my age. Those savings would have been better spent on surgery.
