The Cost of Laziness

We are out of toilet paper which is virtually inconceivable to me because I am a compulsive toilet paper purchaser. Whenever we go to costco I buy toilet paper. Sometimes we have been known to have multiple multi packs of t.p. in the house. When I opened the cupboard and saw one roll left I was certain I had another 48 stashed somewhere. My spouse informed me otherwise.

I knew I needed to buy some "holdover" t.p. until I get a chance to get to costco. I LOATHE buying it in the store because of how expensive it is. I even considered "borrowing" some from work, but we buy cheap enough t.p. at work that I would never seriously consider walking out with a roll and subjecting myself to the chafing at home.

I had to stop to get gas on the way to get the boy from daycare. After picking him up, getting him dressed and out to the van, I am reluctant to unpack him again at the grocery store just to pick up one thing so I decided to get a small pack of toilet paper at the gas station to save me from loading and unloading a 2.5 year old.

My laziness cost me $4.25. FOUR DOLLARS AND TWENTY FIVE CENTS. That's more than 1.07 PER roll. Though I choked as I paid for it I didn't think of putting it back and sucking it up by going into the grocery store, I just paid for it and when I got home I told my spouse she better appreciate every wipe with those four anorexic rolls of toilet paper cause she might as well be wiping her bum with pure gold.
