NWR: have you ever bought anything from an infomercial?

i do have a few 'as seen on tv' things, like oxyclean, but i bought them in the stores. for some reason, even if its a great deal and something i would buy in person, i have an aversion to buying something over the phone from a tv special.

i do like watching infomercials though

My mom bought me a clothes steamer from QVC...but I just completely don't trust infomercials (but secretly always want to buy them!

i am also not into buying things that i see on tv on calling. Dont know why but many infomercials i dont believe or sometimes i'll think something might be great but i just never order it haha. My mom has done this quite a few times lol, one thing she did get that i thought was great, were the velvet type hangers, nothing slides off of them its great. Most other things ive seen her buy i thought were so pointless or didnt work haha.

But like you, if i were to buy something, i'd rather get it from one of those places in the mall that sell all these infomercial stuff. Although, i havent done this either.

never over the phone, an 'as seen on tv' guy comes to my job!

Just last week i bought green bags ( they really work! ) a steamer and this towel hair wrap thing



but like you, ive never called up. Dh's grandma buys so much stuff from the home shopping network they recognize her when she calls!



have you see the commercial for that thing that you cook in and it has two different chambers in it to cook faster? LOL i want to buy it so bad! but i never will. . . it just looks so great!

No, I rather get them from target or CVS because I know their return policies if the thing is a piece of crap!

Debbie Meyer's Green Bags!? My 9 year old niece that watches TV has the entire commercial memorized! When she saw them in my fridge she was like 'OMG Those are hte Debbie Meyer's Green Bags!!!'

Anyway MIL lent some to me and they worked so great that I bought my own. I only go shopping once a month and now I can actually buy fruits and vegetables!!

I am not sure if this is from an infomercial but my sister just bought me this fabric 'shaver' and its amazing. I used it on my summer clothes before I put them away. I have some pants from cheap places like Mandees and Forever 21 that I bought just for the one season and I was going to give them away but I used this fabric shaver on it and now I am keeping them for another season! It smooths out your clothes where you get those little pulls, I forget what they are called - when the fabric looks fuzzy? and it makes such a difference!

My first and only purchase literally at 2AM was the Joy Mangano Huggable Hangers. I ordered 100+ hangers for our new place and I still need more!

We registered for the Magic Bullet...BIG MISTAKE...it *****!!! Doesn't crush ice...we wanted it for frozen drinks but it doesn't work. We had to go out and buy a blender instead. I was disappointed.

They are, my friend had recommended them and when I saw them on HSN I ordered the largest set they had! I was recently in a L&T or BBB and saw that they carried her hangers now.

I'm addicted to watching infomercials and have bought one or two things. The last time I'm bought something it was Zumba fitness DVD's
