Why bother!

I put myself on a strict budget. Now having to fork out the money for an apartment, my wallet has shrunk. Considerably. So I decided to cut out things and opt for the cheaper, perhaps no-name brands. Big mistake.

When I first moved into the loft it took me MONTHS to figure out the best mixture for cleaning the concrete floors. It's actually not that easy to clean concrete floors. A lot of brands left streaks or didn't bother cleaning at all. Until one day I found my orange bottle of Mr. Clean. LOVE IT. This magical orange liquid is perfect for my floors. Super awesome, no complaints. So for the past year and a half I've used this product.

The other day I went to Save On to grab some TP and floor cleaner. I only had $10 with me. I also like my TP, a certain kind and I don't like to waiver. Charmin. Yup, the brand promoted by cartoon bears. However, it tends to be a bit more on the pricey side. So I decided to go cheap with my floor cleaner instead (I did only have $10). So I bought the WF orange liquid thinking that would be the same. Obviously I forgot the first six months of living here. I HATE IT. Streaks everywhere. I even tried washing it with just warm water. NOPE.

So now I'm throwing the leash on the dog and heading to Save On to cough up the extra $2 to get what I want. Sometimes, it doesn't pay to be cheap.
