New Dishcloths Make Me Happy!

Ok, story starts with my mother getting a coupon for $10 off of any $75 household item purchase at Target. Below is the reason that I needed such a coupon and the resounding effects that my purchase today had on me!

Well, my children seem to find it amusing to think that they are Indiana Jones running from the boulder and another one of them will jump on the 'boulder' to save their brother or sister. In this instance, the 'boulder' is my laundry hamper. You know the plastic circular ones? Yep, you can imagine how it looks! It is split down the side absolutely disastrous and I have been meaning to get another one.

So, I go to Target to get some new hampers (seeing as how mine are destroyed) and I needed quite a few. So I knew that, seeing as how they are at least 8 bucks each, that would be around 32 bucks of the 75 that I needed to spend.

Well, I get there and they have ONE. Yes, that's right, ONE! Well, I decide to get that and settle for regular baskets for everything else. So, I get two baskets and the one hamper. I decided to get a new shower curtain for our main shower and then they actually had the shower stall size one for our second bathroom that has a really small shower in it, so I had to get one of those. I found a new floor mat for my kitchen to go in front of the sink in the floor. Then, I saw something that I just had to have!

I literally HAD to have it. Know what it was? Dishcloths! I had never seen any that were this cute and they came in a big pack with 8 of them! So, I got them. Well, they had another multi-pack that came with 2 potholders/2 kitchen towels/2 different kind of dishcloths. IT MATCHED! So, I had to have those and then I found microfiber cloths like I had just seen the other day on TV and wanted so badly! So, I got those!

Well, when I get up to check out, turns out that the hamper that they had was cracked! No wonder it was the only one left! So, the lady says she is sorry and took it off the receipt. No harm, no foul! I still got to use the reciept since my total purchase was more than 75 bucks, but I totally should not have spent that money! However, with mildew on the shower curtain no matter how much you clean it and having had the same hampers and dishcloths for over 3 years, I think I was due some new ones!

You would not believe how happy that those cloths made me! I am so happy to have new dishcloths. I was in the kitchen almost all day today catching up on dishes and cleaning since I had my new cloths. I wonder how long this will last!?!?!
