7) Electronics Chargers

People who have many different devices and are on-the-go a lot may want to have extra phone, MP3, or computer chargers to grab in a pinch. But you should be wary when buying knock-off brand chargers because they most likely won’t be as good as the real thing. Generic chargers may not be recognized by the items they are trying to charge, so they may not be reliable enough to do their job. Oftentimes, if the charger is generic, it may work one time only, and then be locked out by your phone, for example. Additionally, they may not be as steady in delivering electricity to your device, and can potentially fry your electronics with too much electric current. Since they are so unreliable, you will probably end up having to buy new ones pretty regularly, so it is doubtful that you will actually end up saving a significant amount of money. Therefore, it is better not to buy the generics in the first place.
