finds! - bloq

UPDATE I forgot to mention (and then method luster Sabrina reminded me!) I also found method glass, granite, and stainless steel microfiber cleaning cloths at Big Lots! I (believe, but I can't exactly remember) they were $2.50. Add'em to your Big Lots shopping list!

So yeah, you might all need to sit down for this one. No no, but seriously. I'll wait. Take your time. No rush. Ok. Seated? Good. Cause I got some big news for ya!

Big Lots has method bloq! Yes, yes, here are the smelling salts in case you start feeling lightheaded! Cause I'm talking bloq, from like what, two years ago?! In glorious green mint, beach sage, waterflower and citron leaf scents! In creamy body wash, shaving cream, lotion, and soap bars! At Big Lots! For one dollar each! One dollar?! Can you even comprehend that!? No, I didn't think so, cause neither can I! But it's true, I've had multiple method lusters let me know (thanks Jamison, and thanks for the pics, Jon!) And well yeah, I've discovered this for myself! In fact, I think they had to pick me up off the Big Lots floor after I turned the corner and saw those blocky square bottles just sitting there on the shelves!

"Where have you been?! Why did you leave me! It's been so long, so very very long! It's like, one day you just up and leave, and barely say goodbye (ok, well, you did throw that goodbye party, but still, I'm bitter, ok?!) and then you just what, you just go and take a two year trip to travel the Nile?! Or climb Mount Everest?! Or sit in some dark, dingy, warehouse? I mean, what is that all about! Then you reappear and pretend like nothing happened! "Hey, here I am! And I'm super cheap, too! Just cause, you know!" And I'm supposed to take you back in my arms, and love you like I once did, with no hurt feelings?!"

Ok, you got it! Now get in my cart! All of you. (Go. Big Lots! Now! bloq!)

goodwill-ed out!

Alright, so I made my final method bloq Goodwill trip today. I'm done! (I'm actually just cutting myself off, cause it's really just ridiculous, ok? HOW obsessed am I? No, but seriously...) as you'll recall, I found a big bunch of method bloq body washes and shaving creams a while back at my sorta local Goodwill, and purchased some up. And then went back. And went back again. And one more time. But that was it. Until today, when I went back again.

In all honesty, I've purchased quite a few for my friends and family. In fact I just purchased friend'o Sam some method bloq green mint body bars during this latest trip. He'll like those! I've already gotten him into the wash. (Gotta transition him over to the marine naturals refresh mint when it debuts!)

But I now have enough bloq body wash and shaving cream (all green mint here people! LUST it!) to last me... one year. Groan! That's just sad! But I couldn't help it, it's an addiction (and a GREAT price!) So today I went to purchase four more bottles of the wash, to make it last a year; and I said I was done! The end. No more.

Cause you know, no matter how many bottles of my green mint bloq I buy, I'll still run out one day. It's real sad to say, but oh so true. So stop hoarding, Nathan. Be brave. Hold your head up high! And move confidently into your body wash future, knowing that method has it well in hand! (And leg, and arm, and face, and... get it? Har.)

While making my purchase, and sliding them into my reusable tote, the cashier admitted she loves the stuff as well, and even though it says "body wash" when they run out of hand wash in the Goodwill bathrooms, they just grab a bottle and place it in the bathroom to wash your hands! She said it does just as good a job on your hands, as your body. Imagine that!

That'll do, method bloq, that'll do.

holy green mint, batman!

Ah'kay. So sometimes during work lunch, I like to head over to the OTHER side of town (and in this case, OTHER = scary, not so nice to be in, far far away so just driving uses up all my lunch hour but I'm bored and can't bear to go to Target one more day + side of town.) But that's where all the thrift stores in this town are. So I decided to head on over to Goodwill, as I've become a ridiculous addict of retro Christmas and jazz vinyl! So in I go, looking around, check out the tiny tiny vinyl area, gah, nothing. Poo. What a wasted trip. Well, after vinyl there's always the nick nack section! So I turn around towards the nick nack area, and suddenly it's like a giant meteor smashes through the ceiling, and a huge hole showers golden sunshine down from the Heavens, and spotlights a huge rack of...

(ok, there is no suspense here, cause uh, I've used the photo you see above. But fake it, ok!) method bloq! OK! We're not talking a couple bottles of body wash. OH no. We're not talking one lonely bottle like I found at my nearby Goodwill next to where I live. We're talking at LEAST one hundred fifty (I so counted the number in a row, then the rows.) bloq body washes; and I bet, over fifty boxes of bloq bar soaps! HOLY!

AND... as if this wasn't a miracle within itself. I wander over, check them out, and two things: one, every bottle has the method name black magic markered for some reason (boo! I'm a packaging wh*re, ok?) But, I lick my finger lightly, rub over, BOOM, off it comes perfectly. NO way. Two, they're priced at $2.50 a bottle. Not the best Goodwill deal, you say? BUT, they have another sticker on the other side of the bottle (to confuse you a bit, I say.) And what does it say?

.69 cents.

Did that sink in yet? sixty nine wha? sixty nine huh? sixty nine what'chu talkin' bout, Willis?! I manage to find ONE shaving cream, in a totally different section of the store (in the "green section." Goodwill likes to color separate everything. Yeah, don't go there.) But it was a bit messy, and priced at $1.99. I asked if it was .69 cents like all the body wash, but she gave some weird (uh, no. It's week three and those are week five, and by week nine it'll be half the price of week two. Or something like that? Huh?) so I passed (crazy I know, but: Nathan is CHEAP! Cause Nathan is POOR!)

But, I found a gas station selling $3.85 gas! Ok, who every thought I'd be EXCITED to find $3.85 gas. Sigh...

So that trip ROCKED! I ended up buying four green mint body washes, and one waterflower body wash. I've never bought the waterflower, so I figured I'd give it a try! AND I just might go back. When I find these kind of crazy deals, I literally want to buy up every last one of them, and give them out to everyone! All my friends! All my method lust readers! Whee! But I can't. Cause, well, rinse and repeat: Nathan is CHEAP! Cause Nathan is POOR!

this one goes out to paul

Ok, so I just stopped by my local Target tonight (yes, I realize I seriously need some therapy, ok? But see, I realize this. That's gotta be a step in the right direction, right? Right?) and the bloq personal care shaving cream has now been put on clearance. Early the rest of the line had been discontinued, but we were hoping the shaving cream might stick around. Just thought I'd let everyone know.
