Earlier this week, the boys and I took a trip to Target—because that’s what we do when we run out of things at home. We bought stuff like dryer sheets, paper towels, and some of those trash bags that can stop a bus from going over a cliff. I also had to buy a staple gun to repair the underlining of an ottoman I had to rip open after Jango got herself trapped in there.
This evening, I was looking at my Target receipt. I couldn’t believe it when I noticed what the most expensive item on my list was.
Razor blades. Yep—a 3-pack of Schick Intuition razor blades cost me $8.14.
Those razor blades cost me more money than the trash bags and a bottle of Excedrin Migraine. They even cost more than the heavy-duty Durabuilt staple gun with built-in tensioner!
Why are razor blades so expensive? Did a natural disaster hit the factory? Could it be that these particular cartridges are surrounded by a “Skin Conditioning Solid” that negates the need for a separate shaving cream, thereby jacking up the price to make up for the income loss incurred because the user doesn’t buy said shaving cream? I think I just answered my own question.
Anyway, I don’t see myself changing razors anytime soon. The Intuition is the only one I can find that doesn’t slice chunks of skin out of my bony ankles.
In related news, Jango has decided that it’s better to rest on top of the ottoman instead of inside it.

Isn't the cost of razor blade unreal! Love the pic of Jango! She does a great imitation of a throw rug like mine do! And tell her life is sooo much better "out" than "in"!
