Cheapskate

The moral of the story: Before you buy a mop, make sure it fits in your bucket.

A while back, I decided I needed a new mop. The model I am currently using, just doesn't do a good job and I have to bend over too much. So, being poor and a cheapskate, I decided to look for one at the 99 cents store.

Well, I found one that seemed like it would work, so I purchased it and went home, excited, to use the new mop.

I swept the kitchen floor, filled the bucket with warm water and cleaner and excitedly put the mop in the bucket. Just then, I realized that the mop was wider than the bucket I had. My heart sank. All those dreams I had of using a different mop just flushed down the drain. Well, not to worry too much, I could just get a wider bucket...wrong. In the process of trying to get the mop in the bucket, I broke the bottom part off with a snap!

There went 99 cents of my hard earned money! Next time, I am going to measure the mop first.

This is One Man's Opinion!
