What stupid purchase did you make during lockdown?

One tenth of people have made purchases during lockdown that they regret. You’re not alone! It’s ranging from giant hot tubs to that peloton bike that you’re going to start using today, tomorrow, next week/month. We’re talking serious buyers remorse though; items over $1,000.

Home entertainment is a huge category for most people, obviously. Pizza ovens, bread makers, home gyms, bikes, they all fit in this category according to a home insurers. The insurer Aviva surveyed 4000 people and a lot of those participants had given away some of the larger items they’ve purchased because they weren’t using them, just collecting dust.

They also said that since 2020, a lot of claims have gone up, say hot tubs for instance. They saw a 188% increase in claims for accidental damage. At least those are getting used! Just know you’re not the only one who sat at home in 2020 and did some retail therapy. Hey, you probably saved a ton by not going out. That’s how you can justify that pool that you swam in once.
