Not worth a dime

Early in September, I wrote a post about things I thought were worth every cent I spent on them. I went on to say that spending is really personal - we all have those things where we say I can't believe she spent $X on that! - while we merrily spend a mint on something someone else thinks is totally not worth it. To each her own, basically, where spending is concerned. That being said, this post is the counter to that one - things I don't think are worth a dime:

Designer jeans. One, I hate jeans. B, I'm not spending $150 on them.

Pumpkin spice lattes - too sweet. I like pumpkin. I can make them at home.

Bridesmaid dresses. You pay a mint for the GD things and they never have smoothly functioning zippers. Come on manufacturers. Get it together.

Hunter boots. I love how they look, sincerely, but spending $150 for a pair of rubber boots is not in my wheel house. I will gladly accept them as a gift.

Manicures. Once every 2-3 months I go into the nail salon for a clean up because I don't clip my cuticles. Every week I do my own. Practice makes perfect.

Diamonds. I'd rather have a unique piece of play jewelry than the expensive gems any day. My mom is dying over this, I know.

3D movies and most movies in the theater in general.

Bottled water. It's wasteful, too. I'll bring my own.

Most warranties, especially those that solicit me by mail.

ATM fees. Those charges piss me off.

Lottery tickets. It doesn't stop me from buying one when it's a big pot though. Spending a dollar on a dream is something I can handle every once in a while.

Hotel rooms. When I'm on vacation, I'm typically not in the room a lot. We're out seeing and doing or beaching. Give me the mid-range room any time and I'll spend the savings on experiences and awesome meals.

Video game systems. I've never owned one and I never will. I had a wii in my possession for a time that was a hand me down. We never hooked it up and after a year in a closet we passed it on again.

What are some things you don't think are worth the money?
