Times are tough, but saving money isn't. Just decide what you can do without. Here are 8 common but unnecessary purchases you don't need.

世道艰难，省钱却没那么辛苦。想想你有什么不需要的吧。以下是你不需要的八件物品。

1: Jeans
牛仔裤

The average woman owns 8 pairs or more. Even at 75% off put them back.

平均每个女人有8条甚至更多的牛仔裤。75%的人都让牛仔裤闲置着。

2: Box Covers
盒装面巾纸

Research has shown tissue works fine without a cover.

研究发现没有盒子的纸巾更好用。

3: Big Box Bulk
大整理箱

If you don't use it, it's not a bargain. It's a waste.

如果你不使用它，那它就不算便宜品。买它就是一种浪费。

4: Air Fresheners
空气清新剂

If your house stinks, clean it. That should take care of the odor.

如果你的房子有异味，那就打扫吧。这可以解决恶臭的问题。

5: Detox
排毒品

Teas, colonics, even Japanese foot pads claim to detoxify your body. Your liver and kidneys do that for free.

虽然茶叶，清肠片，甚至日本脚垫号称能给你的身体排毒。可你的肝脏和肾可以免费帮你排毒。

6: Home Exercise Equipment
家用健身器

Most of it ends up unused, and there are far cheaper ways to hang up wet socks.

大多数健身器买回来就从未使用过，想挂湿袜子有更便宜的方式。

7: Satellite Navigation
卫星导航仪

The vast majority of drivers know exactly where they're going. If you don't, online directions are free.

绝大多数的开车人都知道路。如果你不知道，网上的导航可是免费的。

8: Gag Gifts
恶作剧的礼物

Gag gifts are only funny once. And they're not even that funny. No refunds. Same goes for cutesy knick-knacks.

恶作剧的礼物只是一时的好笑罢了，何况它们也未必有多好笑，而且这些玩意儿不能退款。这些礼品最后只能成为娇柔做作的小饰品。
