Springmaid Egyptian Cotton Luxury Bath Towels

Years ago when we visited my in-laws for Christmas, I was so impressed with the softness and luxuriousness of her bath towels, I had to take a sneak peek at the label to see what they were made of. I learned that they were made of Egyptian Cotton, and I vowed to buy a couple sets of towels made from Egyptian Cotton when we returned home.

I have been buying bath towels made of this kind of fabric for about 10 years now, and I usually pay about $20 or more per towel. Imagine my surprise when I visited our newly remodeled WalMart store (it has just become a Super WalMart), and saw some gorgeous Egyptian Cotton towels on their shelves! We just remodeled our bathroom, and I had taken one of my shower curtain rings with me, so I could buy a bathroom rug in a matching green color, and I saw these towels sitting neatly on their shelves. They drew me in, they were large and fluffy looking!

I did a double take when I saw that the price for these towels was only $9.61 each! That's less than half of what I am used to paying, and they aren't thin either, these are very thick and plush bath towels. They are oversized and measure 30 inches by 56 inches, and come in a variety of colors, in all the popular shades.

They are made by Springmaid, and the label reads "Luxury Egyptian Cotton", with 100% Egyptian Cotton Loops. The label bears the triangular shaped logo that reads Egyptian Cotton TM. They are described as Luxury Egyptian Cotton for a plush hand and superior softness. Coordinates beautifully with color-rich Springmaid rugs. I ended up buying one set of the towels with a throw rug for the bathroom in a matching color, also made by Springmaid. While they were available, I also purchased two 13" x 13" wash cloths, and was shocked that these were over $6 just for a tiny wash cloth! I guess that's where they make their money, since you always want wash cloths in matching colors! I mean a large towel for under $10, and wash cloths are $6? Doesn't make sense to me!
