Shrinking food packaging

[MamaBee]

I do think of the environment in reference to these things. I just hate wasted paper products. I do not use paper plates either.

A few days ago I spilled the cat's water dish on the kitchen floor. DH reached for the paper towels, and I may have been too harsh when I said "No, no, no! Don't waste paper towels! Just get that rag under the sink!" He probably thinks I am bossy and horrible.

I’m like that with running water…I brush my teeth with the water off..only turning it on to rinse the toothbrush a few times. When I have to wash pots in the sink I turn it on for as long as it takes to get it wet. Then I turn it off and scrub it....I turn it on again when I’m ready to rinse it. When my husband does the dishes he leaves the water running to dry the item he just washed. I have to keep getting up and turning the water off. I don’t want to sound like a nag which I am. It’s a balance between showing appreciation thst he’s doing the dishes and getting upset he’s letting the water run..

@YadaYadaYada I noticed that toilet paper is narrower now. They say the rolls are mega rolls but when you put them on a toilet paper holder there’s significantly more space on each side. I did notice the bottles and jars have changed. The ounces have also changed with them on a lot of products.

Wow sneaky they are! Last time I tried to save on toilet paper I mistakenly got 1 ply and my family was less than impressed. So my husband went out and bought Charmin Ultra Soft, no idea what he paid for it but I felt like I was on a luxury vacation

Yes, this is one of my pet peeves.
I am "fairly old" (@Lookinagain ) and I remember when the TP was so wide, it sometimes wouldn't move on the spindle.
Those days are over folks.
Back to the Sears catalog!

Life is to short for cheap tp.
Charmin ultra strong has a nice balance of strength and softness.

But if the package is, or seems, slender that means you can eat all you want and not gain even one carat in weight.
Right?

Right!
You will not gain one carat, not one troy ounce nor one pennyweight!
Eat the whole bag! You are safe because it says "Skinny" on the package.

It's okay.
Our buttcracks and buttholes are smaller now.
Plus now that we all eat like little birds, we poop less.

Kenny, you naughty kitten.
Ever seen barn swallows and how much they poop just eating insects?
Stay away from my car.
