THINGS I REGRET BUYING FROM AMAZON (with the prices) stair treads. Soooo annoying that I don't slip anymore... $59 and they made my stairs look too finished ruffle pillow cases $40 bedding that feels like lux hotel bedding 😳 I can never get out of bed. So annoying duver insert $179 quilt set $109 okay this deep pillow mist works way to good. I fall asleep so fast and it's aggravating $33 espresso machine... I've saved hundreds of dollars a year having coffee at home... like?? Ugh. $299 the coffee is actually even better than anywhere I've bought it clean dirty sign for the dishwasher. Like why make it easy?? 🙄 $17 the fluffiest throw for our couch makes our space too inviting... $35 these are annoying. I'd much rather see an ugly bolt cover on my toilet than a cute one... $14 who wants outlets that double as a night light?? weird. $48 for 2
