I was at Wal-Mart this week to pick up paper towels.
See how thematic The Nirvana is this week?
When I got to the bright and shiny aisle, I just had to grab my camera.
Yep, there is over 20 feet of Bounty bulk paper towel packages. Since I only have a handy size chart for Charmin –
and there doesn’t seem to be a Charmin to Bounty conversion table – in my purse, I was at a bit of a loss in the Bounty department.
Let’s find large white rolls of paper towels for the best price!
Please stop pushing your brother! You boys need to stay with me here.

No one should be hitting any person or thing! Brothers are nice to each other.

Stop wrestling! No one should be touching a brother.

All boys need to behave or we will be skipping the toy aisle!

*screech*
*stop*
OK. I am going to stop right here. I want off this crazy train.
I have two
solutions for this overwhelming Bounty paper towel choice problem:
1. Bounty could make large white paper towels in big packages –
if they search their line carefully, they might find they already produce such a product.
2. Wal-Mart could move a portion of the toy aisle –
I suggest Transformers, Legos and toy guns – to allow frazzled moms a moment in peace to figure out which is the right product.
It would give us a chance to solve the Where’s Waldo paper towel search.
Until one of my solutions are adopted, I am boycotting paper and pulling out the old fashioned, cloth…
towel.

I cannot figure out the cost thing either! Well, I COULD if I brought along a calculator, had a degree in astrophysics & didn't have to worry about someone kidnapping my son while solving global warming.
I want to go shopping with Teri. Valium aisle – genius.
Oh, how I remember how much I hated shopping with the kids at that age. Hmm, come to think of it, they aren’t much better right now…and they are teenagers. “Mom, can you buy me this, what about that, hey, over here?”
They need an aisle with Valium in a 300 pack.
Geez that is entirely WAY too many paper towels. I hope your idea comes to life soon because it was brilliant.
Solution = Costco
GENIUS!
I have also decided to nix paper towel, but only for the more moist version, the bleach wipe.
GASP*** No Don’t do it ** Step away from the Cloth Towel!! IT’s not worth it!! Just think of all the poor trees that will not live out their lives destiny!!!
DOn’t do it I beg of you!!!
THink of all the laundry with 3 boys and their friends!! GASP… The HORROR!! that would lead you down the isle of which laundry detergent is best for the price and the whole now double concentrated.. EEEKk It’s a vicious Cycle..Hurry just grab a box and run run to the door!!
I had a similar experience at Wal-Mart on Monday only I was searching for the best price on a large pack of toilet paper. And I was making the same threats about not going to the toy aisle.
I think your solution is brilliant but when you are talking to the Wal-Mart executives, please see if they could also add some toys to the toilet paper aisle!
My comments were eaten. Long story short.
I bought the wrong bounty of Bounty myself; I live the select-a-size and got ‘regular’. Now I’ve got to work through 12 rolls…or is it 18?
That’s brilliant! I’m calling Walmart TODAY!
