Q-Tips with Round and Pointed Tips at Walgreens

Hey, I was wondering around the cosmetics dept. of Walgreens to maybe find a brush for detailing (that's how bad my OCD is!) and I saw boxes of these Q-Tips for less than $3. Not a bad deal. I remember somebody posting something similar from a website for around $5.

Sorry no pics. An employee was hovering around because I looked suspicious hanging out in the cosmetics aisle with my bag of purchases in my hands. I didn't want to now pull out my cellphone to take a picture of these things.

Several days ago I was joking with Accumulator on here about "detailing sticks" to get into nooks and crannies in door jambs. Lo and behold, then I find these.

That is a pretty good deal. I picked some up from Autogeek a year or two ago for about $5 for 100:

These do seem to hold up better than the reqular Q-Tips for detailing, but I'll have to check out Walgreens next time I'm near one.

Yeah, I just found it this week. Accumulator recently said one of his favorite soft WWs was from Microfibertech and is apparently discontinued, the large gray one, and someone else posted a link to ocdgarage with what appears to be the same WW. I'm fretting over washing the soft, new paint on my car while it cures now that it's out of the body shop.
