Yep. My little way of stickin' it to the man. When I shop at Wal-Mart, I record "Bad-Mart" in my checkbook. What do you have to say to that, you big corporation, you? Uh huh. I thought so.
Anyhoo, went shopping tonight as our big Friday night out on the town and I bought six giant tubes of Glide tooth floss, to go with the three giant tubes (110 yards each, as a matter of fact) that I bought on my last shopping excursion. When I bought the three tubes, I felt like uber-shopper, for my beloved $6.18 cents a tube dental floss was marked down to $3.00. Woo-hoo! Go Cindy, go Cindy, getting good floss, on the cheap! Then tonight I checked again and it was now marked down to $1.50!!! I near-on had a coronary. Partly because that's quite the bargain, and partly because I wasted $4.50 on the last three that I had bought.
So I bought the six remaining packages. Now they can't mark it down any more, so I'm the wiener!! Oh yes, that was an intentional typo, for really, could I BE more pitiful? Reminds me of the time I bought about 10 4-packs of Clorox Bleach pens for about $1.50 a package too. These things kick ass, so I gave a pack to all of my family members and hoarded the rest for myself.
But ever since then, I've felt a little ill thinking about how some day I'm going to run out of bleach pens, and I'll have to pay the three or four bucks a PIECE that most places want, and then I'll think, "Damn, I should have bought all those cheap bleach pens when I had the chance."
I'll not be in such a predicament now with the dental floss, will I?? *evil, triumphant laughter*
So there you go. A first row seat to my unraveling psyche.
