2009- What Was The Worst Item You Totally Stocked Up On?

[everprincess]

I'm so glad I didn't buy any of the blueberry muffin pop tarts after all these posts I see about them being yuck-o.

Whole wheat pasta...it was so cheap that I decided we'd go "healthier" with pasta. No one in my house will eat the whole wheat kind. They'd rather just eat less of the good stuff.

Frosting and cookie mixes...I was baking for awhile for fundraisers, church parties, etc. but then I was able to get the Nestle Tollhouse pull-apart cookie dough for free. The easy item won out so then I had too many mixes!

Fajita Seasoning - I discovered the only kind of fajita seasoning I like is Taco Bell...which is NOT the brand I stocked up on.

Oh well. I learned.

What were those Nabisco cheese crackers that looked kinda fancy? Artisan something? My first impression of those was baked vomit. Needless to say I couldn't eat any more.

ETA: Oh yeah, whole wheat pasta is just wrong. I tried it on my husband and he said don't do that ever again. I was okay with that.

i dont think there was anything i stocked up on that we didnt like, but i know i got wayyyy too much kraft dressing. we eat salad several times a week and still have tons, even after giving a bunch away.

i agree on the artisian crackers...they werent very good, but i only got 2 boxes to try them.

Quaker Rice snacks - they were okay at first, but I got 100+ bags, and we're still left with about 25 bags after giving away all I can.

Green Giant Broccoli Steamers - they were free and I got them in mega bulk - 400+ packages with a special order. I have an entire freezer full of them, and even with eating them twice a week or so they just AREN'T GOING AWAY! I wish I had got more in corn, peas, and green beans.

Kraft Ranch dressing...YUCK!! I did'nt stock up on it but did just but a couple because it was SUPER cheap....I don't see myself purchasing any Kraft dressing again.

Honestly, I don't think I overdid it on anything. If it's something we haven't tried before, and it's free, I just get a couple of them and we try it right away so I can get more before the sale is over. I've read too many stories here, about people buying cases of stuff and nobody liking it.

I don't think I went way overboard on anything. I did just donate 15 boxes of cereal because hubby wanted what couldn't fit over the washer/dryer gone (30+ boxes fit up there), so I figured it was fine to get rid of the extra. I kept the later expiration dated boxes.

I don't have anything else in mass quantity that we won't eat.

I actually was very good this year and only over did it on ONE item
Kraft BBQ - free + overage with cat
Its okay but its not soo good. We use a lot of BBQ but we prefer other brands for dipping and grilling. I was using it in the crockpot until DH found a vinegar recipe he liked. Ive given away sooo many that my neighbors were making fun of me.
I gave it away at my family reunion...I mean I gave a ton away and still have a shelf full!

Just For Men hair color. It was free and worked to roll my RRs into other deals, but still, what was I thinking?! We don't even use the stuff and I can't give it away! lol

Whole wheat pasta, I agree. Gross.

Also that beemans gum or whatever it's called at Walgreens (.15 filler). My DH, who isn't picky about *anything* actually said that gum was not fit for human consumption and wouldn't even let me give it to the food bank!
