Baby Lotion...Is Name Brand Better????

I am a very big stockpiler......When something that we regularly use goes on sale or clearance I always stock up ! Well, I suppose I had been slacking a bit in the baby lotion category.....either that or we have just been using a bit more than in the past....(like how I am trying to not admit to my lack of stockpiling???)

So about a month ago I had noticed that we were getting a tad low on baby lotion, so while at Walmart I picked up a bottle of Parents Choice with soothing aromas lotion (Bottle says Compare to Johnson's Bedtime Lotion). It was a 20 oz bottle for about $1.88. I a huge fan of Johnson & Johnson Bedtime lotion.....but to save a little over a $1.00 and for a few extra ounces I opted to give the PC lotion a try.

Well.....being a cheapskate usually works to my advantage in most instances...this time it backfired on me!!! The lotion had a different smell to it...not like the usual lotion we use, plus it was so very, very greasy!!! It was almost like baby oil lotion...the kind you use when you have a newborn to prevent cradle cap. I would lotion up the kiddies and they would be so greasy...my little Miss's hair would like I had not bathed her in a few days!!!! LOL LOL Needless to say we used just 1/4 of the bottle and it is now heading for the trash!! I can not even bring myself to give it away......That's just how bad it is!!

So I learned a good lesson...yes, it cost me a loss of $1.88.....but guess what, I will never, never forget to stockpile baby lotion ever again!!!!!
