Cheap

[bertine]

This weekend I bought new body wash. I buy a bottle every six months or so. When I buy body wash (or any personal care product) I always look for the cheapest one with a smell I can stand, usually something on clearance. This saves me about $1.50 every six months. I don't know why this stuck me as funny but I save $1.50 on body wash and I spend way more than that on coffee.

Feh. It is life.


BTW, I was just reading a personal finance blog where they were suggested washing your clothes on cold and hang drying your clothes to save money. I have been doing this for years because your clothes last much long. I don't even own a dryer. The only thing that gets dried in a dryer is when I wash our feather duvets at my parents house.

I used to wash my clothes in cold water until I realized that hot water cleans them much, much better. I still rinse them in cold.

I haven't ever had a problem. However, my clothes rarely get dirty. Oh, I also use detergent for cold water.

Anyways, it doesn't matter as long as you know what your options are. It is just funny to read comments that say things like "You can wash your clothes on cold water?" or "I live in a northern state, I couldn't hand dry my clothes."

Of course, I hang dry because there is no way to vent a dryer in my place.

I have a family of four. Air drying in the house is not an option. LOL! rangerslady won't let me put up clothes lines in the yard because "they are ugly." Oh well.
