Bucket O’ Bulletz

I got all the laundry I could do today finished just before they changed all the prices on the machines! Every one of the washers went up 50 cents. If it had been that way when I got there, I would have come all that way for nothing. Thank God I felt the urge to go so early. Granted, it’s not really my idea of fun to see other people taking bustiers and unmentionables out of the wash, but it is a heck of a lot better knowing:

A) my clothes are completely clean
B) drying time is totally free
C) most or all of my laundry is done in as much time, if not less, than right next door

I would say it’s a win/win just for that. Even with their washers going up in price, it’s worth the trip and the money for those things. I mean, I can fit about 3.5 loads of laundry in the $7.50 washer and dry those 3 for free. I just saved $2.00! In the long run, it will still always be cheaper unless their prices go over $8.

Well, that’s what it felt like is all we bought at WalM*rt the other day. I looked in our cart after the total and was amazed to see that a few bottles of vitamin water, some sheets for our non-adjustable beds, a bottle of juice, and some deodorant cost that much. I mean, we probably got a few other things in there, but it was mostly LIQUID. The shame of it: everything was pretty much on sale! I hate how far a dollar goes in our economy right now.
Today, I get to brave the elements and find out about the laundromat in our area. We only ever use the two washers/dryers next door and they SUCK. Since *someone* gave *somebody* juice after 9pm last night, it’s kind of an urgent trip. *smh* Oh well. I just hope that I can do a good amount of clothes for $10 unlike here, where I get to do 3 loads for $9.
