都说一个干净的家，需要定期断舍离。只有将无用的物品清理掉，保留下真正需要的物品，生活才会更 加轻松。 可在我看来，真正的断舍离应该从源头就开始"断"。与其不停地买，再不停地丢，还不如在消费之前就 多一分思考。 然而，那些看起来新奇又实用的小家电，真正买回家后，往往只用过一两次，就闲置在一边了。 比如当初为了实现"酸奶自由"而购置的"酸奶机"，买回来才发现不仅原料准备麻烦，等待时间长，清洗 也费劲，新鲜感一过，就安静地躺在角落里吃灰了。 再比如"早餐机、豆浆机、煮蛋器"，看似很有必要，实则个个都不省心。早餐机空间小、清洁难；豆浆 机用一次得洗好久；煮蛋器更是可以被其它电器轻松取代。 久而久之，就会发现这些功能单一的小家电，其实都是商家的消费陷阱。并且很多时候，它们的功能都 可以被现有的锅具、微波炉取代，根本就不需要单独购置。 本期就来聊聊那些被我拉入"黑名单"的物品，只有断舍离了，才发现这些东西都是"消费陷阱"。 一、功能单一的"小家电" 随着科技的进步，现在的小家电种类是越来越多，仿佛每一个都有存在的理由，并且也真的能解决生活 中的某个"小痛点"。 ①节日限定款 为了节日氛围购买的"节日限定款"服装，虽然很有 ...
