(Image credit: Year Round Co. ) If you’re the market for new bath towels because you want to refresh your linen closet or stock up on extra ones to have on hand for guests, take a few minutes to consider your options. There are a plethora of possibilities out there and being mindful about your decision can make it worthwhile for your wallet. Here is a list of ten sources for great towels at a reasonable price! 1) Ikea ($2.99-$14.99): These are probably some of the cheapest option for towels out there. They happen to be one of my husband’s favorites because of how quickly it dries him off. I want my towels to feel soft and luxurious, but my husband wants the towel to be practical. These will do the job and I've actually been surprised at how long they have lasted. 2) Tiny Towel by Kara Weaves ($2.60): These are going to be affordable because they are small hand towels, but their versatility allows you to use them in many different ways. You can use them as body cloth, face scrub or lay them out in a basket to use as hand towels.

All the pieces from Kara Weaves is hand-woven by artisan weavers, so it makes them extra special. 3) Lasting Color Cotton Bath Towels by WestPoint Home from Bed Bath and Beyond ($5.99): These are great value and live up to their name by retaining their color after many washes. It is known to shrink significantly after a while, but it is durable and dries quickly. 4) World Market ($5.99-$15.99): World Market is one of my favorite places to buy home goods.

5) Martex Hospitality Bath Towels ($38 for a set of 6): These are similar to the towels you get at a hotel; they aren't my favorite, but they are durable. The best use for these seems to be as a workout towel. Stuff a couple in your workout bag and you will appreciate how quickly it wipes up your sweat. At about $6 per towel, it's good value for your money. 6) Aquis Microfiber Hair Towel ($15.99): Yes, it's a towel just for your hair, but if you have a lot of hair, it will be worth it. The towel soaks up so much of the water from your hair and helps dry your hair that much faster. It is thin but big enough to wrap around your hair on top of your head. 7) Apt 9 Highly Absorbent Solid Bath Towel from Kohls ($17.99): I've heard several people say this is their favorite towel. It's large, absorbent, and stays soft after several washes. 8) Royal Velvet Egyptian Cotton Solid Bath Towels from JCPenney ($18): These are probably my everyday favorite towels. I can really tell the difference with Egyptian cotton towels - they are very soft, fluffy and have lasted over time.

They are usually priced at $18, but the store often has sales. Right now they are on sale for $10.99! 9) 1888 Mills Luxury Cotton Made in Africa ($20): These towels are made in the USA with 100% African cotton from the Cotton Made In Africa project. The project aims to to improve the conditions of life for a large number of smallholder African farmers by providing a fair market value for their cotton. These are plush and durable, a great combination. They can also usually be found at Costco. 10) Hotel Collection Bath Towels MicroCotton Collection ($25): This one topped Good Housekeeping's list of best bath towels (they tested 55 lines!) and shows up on a lot of wedding registries. The best thing about these is how they stay really soft after several washes. Extra: They are not available online, but you can also get great deals on brand name towels (Ralph Lauren's is one of my favorites) at stores like TJMaxx and Marshall's.

August 14, 2009 by clander If you find yourself trapped in the middle of the woods without electricity, running water, or a car you would likely describe that situation as a “nightmare” or “a worse case scenario like after plane crash or something.” White people refer to it as “camping.” When white people begin talking to you about camping they will do their best to tell you that it’s very easy and it allows them to escape the pressures and troubles of the urban lifestyle for a more natural, simplified, relaxing time. Nothing could be further from the truth. In theory camping should be a very inexpensive activity since you are literally sleeping on the ground. But as with everything in white culture, the more simple it appears the more expensive it actually is. Camping is a multi-day, multi-step, potentially lethal activity that will cost you a large amount of both time and money. Unless you are in some sort of position where you absolutely need the friendship of a white person, you should avoid camping at all costs.

The first stage of camping always involves a trip to an outdoor equipment store like REI (or in Canada, Mountain Equipment Co-Op). These stores are well known for their abundance of white customers and their extensive inventory of things for white people to buy and only use once. If you are ever tricked into going to one of these stores, you can make white people like you by saying things like “man, this Kayak is only $1200, if I use it 35 times I’ve already saved money over renting.” Note: do not actually buy the kayak. Next, white people will then take this new equipment and load it into an SUV or Subaru Outback with a Thule or Yakima Roof Rack. Then they will drive for an extended period of time to a national park or campsite where they will pay an entrance fee and begin their journey. It is worth noting that white people are unaware of the irony of using a gas burning car to bring them closer to nature and it is not recommended that you point this out. It will ruin their weekend.

Once in the camp area, white people will walk around for a while, set up a tent, have a horrible night of sleep, walk around some more. Then get in the car and go home. This, of course, is a best case scenario. Worst case scenarios include: getting lost, poisoned, killed by an animal, and encountering an RV. Of these outcomes, the latter is seen by white people as the worst since it involves an encounter with the wrong kind of white people. Conversely, any camping trip that ends in death at the hands of nature or requires the use of valuable government resources for a rescue is seen as relatively positive in white culture. This is because both situations might eventually lead to a book deal or documentary film about the experience. Ultimately the best way to escape a camping trip with white people is to say that you have allergies. Since white people and their children are allergic to almost everything, they will understand and ask no further questions. You should not say something like “looking at history, the instances of my people encountering white people in the woods have not worked out very well for us.”
