How Much Did You Spend on Cheap/Useless Items in 2017?

Hey,

Thought I'd do something a bit different after seeing a lot of cheap random stuff (and realising just how much I have) is how much have you spent on pointless items from Zapals, Gearbest etc?

Poll attached for the price, but feel free to comment how many you have gotten.

Please answer seriously, but if you are spending over $500 on pointless stuff you need help. Or to cancel your Ozbargain membership.

  • cheap - yes
    useless - no

    mostly $1 to $2 items like;
    batman fidget spinner (OK, that's borderline useless)
    R2D2 mini block
    knock off transformer - stocking filler

  • The problem is it's evident they are useless only after you have not used them after a long time, the "round tuit" problem. So for some things, cannot say yet.

    • I agree with you there.
      Maybe I should rephrase it to how many cheap 'free/cheap/dollar deals' have you gotten off Zapals, Gearbest etc etc..

        That sounds a bit of a paradox. If you think about it, Professional Ozb members (addicts) spend most of their discretionary income on useless stuff and have a constant stream of parcels shipped from China every week.

        • Haha yeah that is true, for the couple of cents it costs me it's like getting Christmas every 2 weeks :P

    Been using my Xiaomi USB fan a lot.

  • I spent $2 on notebook of fake bank notes. Handy for paying fake parking fines https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/354505. Or just drop a couple in the shopping center for amusement.

          Sure but you have to help out my Nigerian friend by sending him $1,000,000. Via Western union

        • @BrodenIt: Oh that's a shame I just gave all my money to Computer Headquarters because there was something wrong with my laptop :(
