I probably do that more often than tea or cereal. And then I'm already in the shower before I notice that I have two shampoos and no conditioner.<br /><br />And to commenter at 1:08 that I could do a whole column on returning things: absolutely! I'm putting that on my idea list right now.

I can rarely find original-flavor Crest toothpaste and several times came home with a gel that I can't stand. Tide: accidentally picked up High Efficiency for my regular washer. Old Spice deodorant, hard to find original scent, original formula; can't stand their new Fresh scent. Plus what you said. —Ken NellisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745625607350497891.post-57681722949168158252010-10-23T01:08:06.436-04:002010-10-23T01:08:06.436-04:00I, too, have given up on paper towels and opt for ...I, too, have given up on paper towels and opt for rags that go in the white bleach wash. At least you know what you're getting out of the machine!<br /><br />But a GREAT point made is about the tea. I don't drink decaf, yet somehow, it's on my shelf. In fact, it's 1 a.m., so I'm drinking some now. Oh, well, better than taking it back (you could write a whole column on that, too!).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-745625607350497891.post-63372021427564623012010-10-22T15:26:06.031-04:002010-10-22T15:26:06.031-04:00I'm totally with you on the mini-paper towel t...I'm totally with you on the mini-paper towel thing. So annoying if not downright baffling. Try adding coupons to the grocery shopping madness -- they specify in itsy-bitsy sized print exact product sizes, flavors and barely ledgible exeptions, legalese, disclaimers and expiration dates.<br /><br />If this helps -- we gave up paper towels completely in an effort to go green. We bought two 12 packs of white cotton tea towels at Costco and use them for all clean ups. Then, we just throw them in the wash when we do a load of whites. I suppose if one is a fan of the mini-mini paper towels, they could use face cloths instead! :-)<br />"Penny"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
