Answer

The word "stuff" sounds informal, and "in vain" sounds formal. "Did we buy this stuff for nothing?" sounds OK, but "Did we buy this stuff in vain?" sounds strange. I probably wouldn't say either (buy for nothing sounds odd). Jerry's answer "We shouldn't have bought this stuff" sounds OK. Or you might say "We wasted our money on this stuff."
