Infomercials – Do you buy the products you see advertised?

December 6, 2007 by Tricia

As usual I’m up late watching TV and trying to dodge the infomercials.

Do you watch infomercials late at night?

I remember telling my niece that the one time I watched a whole infomercial I ended up buying the product! Not that I normally would do that, but it was the Magic Bullet blender and obviously it was a good infomercial – it got me to buy the blender didn’t it?

I do love my Magic Bullet. I use it mainly to make fantastic fruit smoothies. I don’t make them often but when I do they are fantastic … especially with a little rum or vodka in them.

I often wonder about the ginsu knives that I see advertised. Are they really as sharp and as good as advertised? I think those commercials have been on TV my whole life! Why don’t I already have some Ginsu knives?

I really enjoy cooking and baking and yes, I do have a nice set of knives, but when you do a lot of work in the kitchen you often realize that you could use a special knife or another item to help you get things done faster or better.

Do you ever buy products that you see advertised in infomercials or perhaps on the shopping channels? Have you been happy with your purchases?

    I can not possibly imagine how these could be any sharper than any other high quality knives.

    HI Tricia:
    Yes, I am been suckered into buying on infomercials. Lukily, I have always been pleased with my purchase though. I’ve never bought knives but I have purchased exercise products – not expensive ones.
