How expensive can a tube of toothpaste cost me...?

Yah...how expensive can it be...It cost me more than 2 hours yesterday to decide which brand i want to buy...and I ended up buying nothing...becos i can't decide and the shop is closing.

This has got to be a problem. Although I got no idea what condition I am actually suffering from...I know this is not healthy. Perhaps due to the miserable pauper life that I had been living in for the past one and a half year...I never felt being more ill-treated by myself than any one time...that is becos..I should be able to afford that stupid tube of toothpaste now...but i couldn't make myself to buy it. I have become that stingy.

Well, my basic logic was...to get the cheapest....of cos that should be easy and plain enuff to follow...just check out the price and pay for the cheapest...how hard can that be?...then, the second senses come by and tell me..."girl..you can afford it now..dun be too hard on yourself and buy something better"..yah...so there is now a choice between...the 69pence,100g, housebrand toothpaste or the £2.49, 75g, Sensodyn(toothpaste for the sensitive teeth, mine is sensitive)...hard to decide...the thing about need and luxury...then there is this in between...the house brand toothpaste for sensitive teeth...ahhh...the best of all thing, cheap and essential....at £1.69 for a 75g....then there is another....choice...Colgate for sensitive teeth...cheaper than sensodyn...slightly more costly than house brand...and is only £2.39 for a 75g...blah blah....and the list goes on...there are at least 5 brands of toothpaste for sensitive teeth and more for the whitening...blah blah...this and dat...

I can't believe I am spoiled with choice now that I can afford it...I used to survive on leftover toothpaste from my friends who visited me in glasgow and left their toiletories before they leave...and i have been using all sort of weird brand from hotel package travel size toothpaste...Darlie...Fresh & bright...watever...and the last real tube of toothpaste I bought in Glasgow was "Smile"...which was a promotion pack..cost me £1.99 which comes with a mouth rinse of 200ml plus dental floss..which I tot was a real bargain...and I need to buy it anyway and has been hunting for one all over the city for the cheapest possible buy in town...at that time...toothpaste is just toothpaste. For sensitive...for whitening...for tar removing...for advance total dental protection...gum protection...mint flavour...special flavours..watever....I dun care..and is not interested.......

I dun noe if I want to call that a bliss when I can afford it finally but cannot decide which i should buy. MAybe part of it was precisely becos there is this bug in mind..."my past experience told me...my teeth is still bright regardless of what paste I use...and my teeth will probably still ache even if i use a sensitive toothpaste to brush my them."....so "why spend more when I can spend less"..haha..sounds like some commercial lines...I can't believe this can be such an issue..becos it is just toothpaste...And guess wat...just this morning...I have officially used up the last pea-sized of toothpaste that I could manage to squeezzze out of the corner of the tube of my toothpaste which I had been using..and by hook or by crook I got to buy one before i reach home tonight...and I hope I shall conclude with what I will buy evntually...well...if you think this is exciting...wait till i tell you about buying toilet rolls...but for now...I guess I have bored you enuff for the day.

Have a nice weekend everyone.
