One would think with a stable like a petroleum jelly product, buying in bulk is a great idea. I caution you to think twice and learn from my two-dollar investment.

This jar is large, takes up space and is more than one person really needs. Though its nifty jar offers many ways to use it, I think using it to remove make-up is a mistake. That may be the cause of some eye issues I have had, but that is another story.

Look at the store I bought it from: Caldor. From a business perspective, Caldor is a great story. A family-owned store that grew from the Fifties to employ 22,000 people. Despite their success, the Caldor company is out of business. They closed their last store in 1999.

Now in 2022, I have the just about empty jar. I hate to throw it away especially if it is antique by now. If anyone has a use for this, let me know. Apparently I am attached to it after all these years. I believe I have only furniture and photos that long.

By the way, according to one site, the Malden store closed in the early Nineties. That means I have taken my bargain through at least a half dozen moves. No wonder I am attached!

Lesson from me….Be care when you think buying in bulk is a bargain.
