    Default My BiGGEST frugal LUXURY...

    I kmow you guys will think this is gay -

    My biggest luxury ever is being able to pull our sheets out of the dryer and (even though they are torn and old) I put them on the bed and pull them tight and slide in between them with freshly washed skin -- there is nothing quite in comparison !! as a child I went to bed dirty in the backseat of a car with two brothers and several cats - perhaps it has something to do with it - but the smell of fresh cotton sheets and clean skin holds my senses like nothing else.... I would consider it my finest luxurie and I make sure the kids come home to it too!!

    Me too, I look forward to going to bed on the days I wash our sheets. I especially like it when I have hung the sheets out to dry outside... it`s wonderful.

    You are so right. I love the smell of freshly laundered sheets.

    Kimmee, I couldn't agree more! Sundays are sheet washing days and I just love making the bed in the evening and crawling in the fresh, clean sheets!

    I don't think it's weird at all. Freshly washed and dried sheets feel good on the bed.

    The only thing that makes it any better to me is climb in after a bath with shaven legs (with lotion on and dried) and a home pedicure. Mmmmmmmmm BLISS!

    My weakness for sure. My mother always had the nicest sheets and so do I. I can remember sleeping over friends houses and their sheets while clean, had patches or pills on them. I may have some ratty towels, but my sheets are expensive, soft, clean and worth every penny I splurge on them.
