Shopping with Blobby

Yet another installment in the drudgery that is everyday shopping. The camera-phone makes it a bit more fun - though I get looks whenever I take pics of products. Like I care what people think! 

Is it really possible I haven't done a Shopping post since October of 2024???  That seems unpossible, yet I can't seem to find one. 

I think we all know by now that I am notoriously frugal. ....except for maybe running shoes. 

And when it comes to things like underwear I'm no different. I'm usually fine getting whatever is discounted at TJ Max. Yes, sad, but true. Mine are all mismatched, while 710 is all the same brand, just two different colours. 

Funny story. True story. A decade (plus) ago, I went into lululemon because my cousin told me that had free yoga. I was 90% sure he said on Saturday. It was Sunday, but I showed up on a Saturday with my mat. I felt so guilty trying to get a free yoga session out of them, I made the smallest purchase I could to assuage my conciounce.  A pair of underwear:  and it set me back $18 !!!!!!!!

I have never worn them. ....and they have turtles on them. 

This has been a discussion with my psychologist believe it or not. An example, if you will, of a broader discussion.  $18 is a lot of money for one pair of underwear - or so I think. So in my mind, I'm not good enough, or worthy enough, to wear them. This is true with many clothes of which I own but have never worn. 

At least he didn't come back with, "get some confidence, stupid!".....though he probably thought it. 

Somewhere in my discount shopping, I did find a pair / brand I like. Enough so that I'd be ok tossing all I have and just going the 710 route and go one brand. And I found them on amazon and I'm just trying to justify $28 for a 4-pack. 

However, while on amazon the algorithm also suggested the above pictured pair: BKIEO. 

Cooling Nylon Trunks with Odor-Control Spacious Pouch. 

The last four words had me!   (BTW, a 3-pack is $44!)

My lord. Men are so fragile. Like Magnum condoms they could never fill up, I'm sure these same men think they need this:

If the Elephant Man was only elephant-like in 'that way' even he wouldn't need something so large. It just looks so comical, no? 

I didn't even rotate the photo, that's how amazon shows them!

Still, men are men........and men are idiots. They have a ***** rating (out of 5), but only one written review...which I will share. Must share!

The pouch is "not big enough".  Oh, honey!

Ooooookay "Trey", who really must be the ghost of John Holmes, I'm assuming. 

It makes you "feel like you're wearing nothing at all" because your peen doesn't (and can't) come close to touching any of the material.  ....or you're the ghost of a dead porn star. 

For the record, I did NOT write that review under another account name. Though it would have been funny to do so. Maybe Trey submitted the rating tongue-in-cheek. 

Also for the record, I'm not parting with $44 for underwear. I'll just have to see if I'll give up $28 for the aforementioned 4-pack.
