This may be a crazy question, but i didnt know where else to ask this. Im thinking about moving out my parents house, maybe in a year or 4, but I wanted to get towels at JCpenney, because I like them and their on sale, but I was wondering if something will happen to them like, will they break down or anything within a few years. I wont be using them at all until I move out, but does anyone know if anything will happen to them?
Thanks!

    They should be fine!

    Now finding a reasonable place to store them for a few years, and hoping your taste doesn't change in the meantime would be more of a concern, IMO!

    We've still got towels we got as a wedding present 25 years ago! And still use them regularly!

    Needless to say, we're not into buying "unnecessary" items like towels when the old ones we have work great and there's other things to spend money on--like vacations, etc.

    my advice would be to get them and pack them away in a watertight, airtight container or bag with some cedar shavings. ( maybe one of those storage bags where you vacume out the air)and store them somewhere , that if you look for them you will find them.... Lots of stuff stored in an attic might be forgotten.....In the olden days girls had hope chests ( most made of cedar so the moths wouldn't destroy fabrics). I hope that helped:flowerforyou:

    Towels will always be on sale, so don't snatch them up now if you won't be using them for a few years just because they are on sale. However if you fell in love with them because they are a particular design then go for it. I bought stuff for my "fish decor" bathroom years before I could finally afford to move out of my parents house and I got great use out of them for 6 years. I still have the towels but I recently got an apt with my boyfriend and he wasn't fond of the fish, so we redecorated. I don't like to use them since they don't go with the new bathroom, but if we need towels to get us by for a few days before laundry day they come in handy.

    Go for it. Before I moved out on my own I started buying thngs that I knew I would need as soon as i moved out. It really helped in the long with money.

    Happy shopping:drinker:
