I hate it when that happens...

I just spent 15 minutes in the laundry detergent aisle at the grocery store hoping my ice cream wouldn't melt. I just wanted to grab some Tide and get the heck out of there but... did I want detergent with something called "complete care for my fine fabrics" or would I prefer something with Febreze scent? Maybe unscented? How about one that has a touch of Downey? Should I get liquid or powder or, my gosh, they have something called "pods" - no measuring! Should I get the size container that fits my cabinet shelves or the industrial size with the fancy spigot? Let's see, this one does 31 loads and costs $7.94 but that one does 32 loads for $8.36. Which is cheaper? Should I get something with bleach alternative or would a color booster be better? Just what the heck is a bleach alternative anyway? Hey, this one says "Cold Water Formula".  How about one with a stain booster? Can I get a sensitive skin formula but with a scent or does it only come in fragrance and dye free? Then, my inner voice (which sounds a lot like my daughter, Sara) kicked in and said "you should be using some of those natural detergents that are better for the environment." So, if I get eco friendly, free of phosphates and biodegradable detergent, will it actually clean my clothes?

O.K., I think I've decided.... best price, right container, etc... but, wait - where's the "HE" logo? I need high efficiency for my washer! Crap! Start over.... did I want...? Anyway, I finally chose one, checked out the whole batch of groceries, and with the help of my husband, was loading everything into the vehicle when he said... "where's the laundry detergent?" I clearly remembered setting it on the bottom of the cart after the cashier rang it up and it was on my receipt. I backtracked to the store and asked if someone had turned it in. But, no such luck! The only thing I can figure is that it fell off the cart in the parking lot and someone snagged it up! I had lost my carefully studied and selected Tide, HE with Acti-Lift (for a brilliant clean every time) friggin laundry soap!
