ACTUALLY BUYING (?) shampoo, soap, shower gel , skin scrubbers, shoe polishing rags, shoe polish, slippers, bathrobes, coffee (hi test and decaf), tea, sugar, sugar substitute, creamer (coffee/tea whitener as I call it), troj@ns, sewing kits, body lotion, hand lotion, etc. is a foreign concept to me. Since I travel so much, I just open the suitcase when I'm ready to check out of the hotel, toss 'em all in and my house is very well equipped. Ermm, guess I never figured out how blessed I was since I don't have to go down those store aisles thanks to my job and all the travel. (Wonder if the IRS ( U S Taxing service) will ever figure out how to tax that stuff I bring home?) All the time I'm saving Wii without having to make those decisions in store aisles like you. Never thought of it. But I'm always kind to the travel airport security people as I put all that stuff in see through large gallon plastic zippies in my checked baggage. Now if I could only figure out how to clean out a hotel room mini bar without it showing up on my hotel room charge ...
