Toilet Paper

Toilet Paper!

Do Manufacturers actually think we were born yesterday? With, maybe, NOT an observant bone in our bodies! I have been buying Quilted Northern Toilet Tissue for a very long time because when I started buying it there was quality and the price per square sheet was the best compared to all the other brands. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still like the quality of the toilet tissue and still purchase Northern.

It is just that I really resent the CON. Go up on the price, that is normal and I can handle that. Being up front and honest about a price change doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is that whoever works for Northern Marketing thinks they are slick when they get double the money by making the cardboard roll, that holds the tissue, larger too! I measured an older cardboard tube and it measured approximately 44 centimeters then I measured the new cardboard tube and that measured approximately 47 centimeters!

In my book they may not be getting double the total price (I haven’t measured the sheets lost.) but to give less per roll and go up on the cost sure isn’t hurting their net profit!

Example: Back in the day there used to be small, medium and large eggs. Manufacturers realized that the small eggs weren’t selling as well so they reclassified the eggs to medium, large and extra-large. And then came the JUMBO. Ha ha ha, a chicken can only lay an egg just so big. Get it any bigger and you will get a goose egg!!! Then think about it…. What happened to the small egg? They are still there but now they are called mediums. When was the last time you saw “small” eggs for sale at a grocery?

Think about it big manufacturing boys, we buyers do know what your up to. I would just prefer you be upfront and honest and just put the higher price on your products. Don’t use the little increment cons.

Don’t get me started on canned products, those guys are just as bad! BP is going down now.

I'm sharing this portion of my blog with you. Have a great day.

Recession Proof Your Budget....How to Afford New Underwear or Clothes

It was last week when I was folding laundry that I noticed the white elastic showing on the waist of my blue underwear and the 'air' holes in the backend.  Guess it's time for some new 'hinder covering'.  I first checked at Online Auction but couldn't find my brand.

I further searched....JC Penney was next...yep, I found them....Photobucket....$18.00 a pair. Were these now special made out of 2000 thread count cotton? Nope. It's gonna take some serious budgeting to come up with enough coins to buy a pair and a spare!

That's truly when it dawned on me......it's true.....the dollar is shrinking....Photobucket

I have discovered some men's boxers that are new (I bought some for my son-in-law) and they are a bargain......take a look....Photobucket $2.99 for 3 pair...Price can't be beat! CLICK HERE to View This Item offered by yogibear66.

Well that takes care of the husband.   What else can I find that will help recession proof my budget.  There is certainly nothing wrong with reusing or re-purposing gently used clothing.  Quite often new clothing can be found at a fraction of the original price.

What to do if you have kids? Check this out...Photobucket This sweater is new with tags and is ONLY $1.00....CLICK HERE to View This Item being offered by redsbargainbarn.

There are many many more items that are true bargains to be had all over Online Auction.

This is a ladies sweater new with tags that has a starting price of $1.00....PhotobucketCLICK HERE to View This Item offered by vermonter53.

I will be listing a Cabella's Men's Jean Jacket this week that sells for upwards of $60 and I will be listing it for less than $10.00.  Watch for it at Supergrannys Treasures

In your quest to clothe your family don't overlook Online Auction as well as your local thrift stores. Have fun.....start your Christmas shopping now......

Speaking of Christmas Gifts...Online Auction has some works by very talented artists. Here's a couple of examples...handpainted saw by Annimae....Photobucket Z'anne of zannesbazaar gives birth to some fine artistic jewelry...this is just one example Photobucket

Candles, sporting goods, collectible sports cards and coins, pottery, tobacciana, fabric, craft supplies and finished crafts, etc. Forget the traffic and panicky people and shop at home....Online Auction

How about each family member taking $10 or $20 and all take turns shopping at OLA.   Now that would be fun even if they were shopping for the best white elephant gift!  Have fun........................
