Buying laundry detergent...for the VERY first time!
Yup. Seriously. Honest. I can't think of a time in my life BEFORE TONIGHT when I bought my own laundry detergent. College...sure, I had "my own"...but mommy & daddy bought it. After college, when I lived at home...same thing. When I moved out...um, well, I've just regularly brought my laundry to mommy & daddy's. HAHAHAHA, God that's funny. I can't be the only one who lives pretty close to their parents who does this. If I lived across the country, obviously I'd have bought my own by now.
And I've never gone to a laundromat, either...being forced to mingle with the hoi polloi at yet ANOTHER place...ugh. But in my ever-increasing yearning to be a Big Boy, I decided I'd start buying my own laundry goods, both to save mom & dad's money and also simply so I can Make My Own Choice about all the wildly intoxicating different scents they have. For my Detergent Deflowering, I picked...Linen & Lilies. A comforting image of whites rippling on a midwestern clothesline filled my head with this "flavor." Surely you agree?
Adding to the overall joy of this purchase was the price and packaging. You know they somehow now have reduced by like HALF the size of detergents...yet they do the same number of loads?! The catchphrase seems to be "2x." Seriously, it's fucking fantastic. Because Gary detests superfluous bulk. My Purex purchase tonight was a sleek, see-through 50 oz. container which somehow does 32 loads...SUPER light and easy to transport. Perfect for one of my many bags that I drape around my neck. Then there's the price. It's regularly like $3.19...on sale for $1.99. But you KNOW Gregoire had a coupon...$1 off this time. So HALF the size and less than a third of the normal cost. FanFUCKINGtastic! Could I have BEEN happier?! Well, almost...when I got 2 for 1 Loreal hair care products, plus had a coupon THERE, too. What normally would've cost $9 was instead $3.49. I got TWO for a dollar less than ONE normally costs. It was all nearly enough to make up for the fact that I felt like absolute hell...suffering through the worst "summer" cold in recent memory. Forget buying a house...I bought detergent!!
