I was well past needing a new toothbrush (I never replace them on the recommended every three month schedule) when I read on another blog about Preserve Toothbrushes. They are made from recycled plastic (including yogurt cups!) and after use can be returned to the company to be made into plastic lumber. How cool is that?!
So while my car was being inspected on Saturday, I walked over to Target. The toothbrush cost me $2.04 plus tax, which you can't beat. I've used it for a couple days now and can say that I absolutely like it. It has a nice small head and super soft bristles. I would definitely recommend it.
Going into Target for even my one small item was disturbing. All of the acres of unnecessary crap and pushy people. At the checkout aisles I was shoved aside by someone with a cart full of merchandise when all I was holding was one item. Had I known for sure I would like the toothbrushes I would've bought several to avoid having to return to that store in three months. I need another soapdish now that I'm switching to bar soap, but there was no way I was buying one there. If I can't find the one that is MIA in my own house, I'll pay a visit to the thrift store. I'm going to do my best to avoid buying new whenever possible.

Wow, good for you, dude!!
I don't think I want a toothbrush from the thrift store. The original owners might have used it to polish the crevice between the shoes and the sole of their shoes, or clean grout or somehting.
And if more pople thought like you it would certanly make it easie on me when I go to Target or Wal Mart or K Mart.
Hey, think I have a used wood soap dish around here somewhere if you want it. I can send it to you. It's nice but we don't use bar soap on the counter just in the shower. Let me know, honestly I can send it to you. I just scrubbed it before I put it away :)
Oh cool! Thanks for sharing! I will have to check that out - it helps that they are at Target - I am always there! :)
Ok, I know there was a deer post on here, where did it go?
LOL, Coffeepot is such an annoying riot! hee hee!
