Since it's the totally hot thing to blame the recession for negative things happening in your life, I'll play along. I have stopped buying fancy Caldrea, even Mrs. Meyers, dish soap because of the recession. Well that and I have also been too lazy to visit the stores where they sell it. But it does seem doofy to spend more than a couple bucks on dish soap.
(I'm lying. My next bottle will expensive and smell like faeries.)
Now I'm curious as what faeries smell like. Damn you, I was happy with the giant jug from costco.
