My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
Can someone please tell me when the price of a single roll of toilet paper skyrocketed to the price of a one-night stay in a honeymoon suite at the Ritz Carlton?
Ok, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration, but not by much.
While shopping for toilet paper yesterday, I almost let out an audible gasp in isle 6 when I saw the price of $1.50.
Excuse me, but are we talking about the same stuff I use to pay 50 cents for?
And are we also talking about a paper product that even though it’s 2ply, I still end up poking my ring finger through it?
When did grooming my delicate derriere triple in price?
Probably about the time when a pack of chewing gum escalated from 25 cents to $1.29.
I know you’re all probably thinking, “Well Ron, why don’t you go to Costco and buy it in bulk because it’s cheaper that way?”
And my answer is, “Because I live in a studio apartment and have no where to store 50 rolls of Scotts.”
I only have space enough in this apartment to live with 2 rolls at a time.
I realize that I just bought a new laptop, so I shouldn’t be pinching over $1.50. But, at least with my laptop I get multiple usages instead of wiping once and then literally flushing my money down the toilet.
I’m thinking that maybe I’ll start a toilet paper savings account, like a Christmas club. That way $10.00 of my weekly paycheck will be put aside for toilet tissue expenses for the following year.
Oh but wait, that won’t work because by next year toilet paper will be up to $20.00 a roll, so my money won't be worth SHIT.
No, on second thought….
I think I’m just gonna go back to the caveman days and use these…..
However, I’ll have to be very careful not to confuse Boston ivy with poison ivy.
Wishing you a spectacular weekend everyone!
