For years I have been using two shampoos. I switch them off, as I think that any hair product builds up in your hair and eventually become ineffective in maintaining your hairs health and shine. So I use a L’Oreal shampoo and conditioner for about a month and then I switch to an Herbal Essence shampoo and conditioner.

This probably sounds ridiculous, but even though I have used that Herbal Essence shampoo for over 2 years, I cannot tell you the name of that particular fragrance. Its just something that I don’t pay attention to, even though I use it day after day. I just grab the bottle and squirt out a little into my hand. I don’t really care what the fragrance is called. But I do know that it is in a light blue bottle and it is for color treated or damaged hair.

So I went to the store to buy a new bottle of the Herbal Essence and they have completely changed the product line. The blue bottle that I’ve known and used for years is no longer available. So now what the fuck do I do? Should I completely rethink the second shampoo brand? Or should I try to find the closest new fragrance and formula by the same company?

I don’t know – I left without buying anything. I have enough of the L’Oreal to last for another month, so I don’t have to make a decision right now anyway.

What the fuck is going on with Kroger? They just remodeled the store by my house and almost doubled it in size, but they have actually cut back on the brands that they carry. I thought a bigger store would mean more stuff to shop from, but evidently a bigger store just means more stuff on the shelves of what they sell the most of – not a bigger variety.

I used to be able to go to Kroger and get all my shopping done for the whole week. The only brand of anything they didn’t carry was my favorite peanut butter, so I would have to go to Publix once every 6 – 8 weeks and buy my peanut butter from Publix. Of course, while I’m at the Publix I will spend my grocery money for the week at that store and not go to Kroger that week.

Now the Kroger has stopped carrying Wonder Bread. WTF is that about? With two huge bread aisles, I can’t believe they can’t find room on the shelves for a dozen loaves of Wonder Bread.

At first when I looked for the Wonder Bread and couldn’t find it, I thought maybe they had sold out and the bread truck hadn’t come to replenish their stock. But, no. Turns out they are not carrying Wonder Bread anymore.  So, one more reason to go to Publix – and to go more often. I eat a lot more Wonder Bread than I do peanut butter. I might start doing all my shopping at Publix since that’s the only place I can buy Wonder Bread. Even the fucking Wal Mart doesn’t carry Wonder Bread.
