You can get the same result by clipping a safety pin around your straps, which is what I’ve been using for years.

C’ mon people! You have a blanket and a bathrobe. Do you really need a hybrid of the two?

3. Shoes That Get You in Shape

From sketchers.com

Any “quick and easy” fix to get in shape is too good to be true. Instead of spending $100 + on a pair of these, use your regular tennis shoes and play soccer with your friends or go for a run!

4. The Kindle

From mclibrary.duke.edu

Technology is great, but there is something special about holding a real book.  With your stories in a Kindle, you can’t underline your favorite lines, trade with friends, or keep an actual library. Plus at $259, is it really worth it?

5. The Cookie Diet

As I said before, if it sounds too good to be true, it is. Losing 10 pounds in a week by eating only cookies may seem great, but you can’t live on those expensive diet cookies forever.  ($60 a week?! That’s a pair of cute shoes!) Sorry to break it to you, but the only way to lose weight and keep it off forever is to make a lifestyle change.  No “magic” $60 cookies needed.
