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*

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.

THIS is why I buy Target paper towels. You’re welcome.
My father used to threaten us with using newspaper like they did in the (not so) Great Depression. After backpacking anywhere, I love toilet paper. And living in a house. But don’t tell the husband as he’s planning another trip….
Okay, sorry if you are a vegan, but how are you gonna use a cloth towel to soak up all the bacon grease when you microwave the bacon?
Am I the only person who loves bacon every. single. day.?
i’m just glad that your kids cooperate as well as mine do for the advanced math portion of the shopping trip! agh. i love the toy section idea.
And put some dolls in the mix, too, please. I go through this same scenario every other week – I start with the cheap brand and work my way up, though. I’m not up to Bounty yet. Just whining about the cheap brands still. And the fact that it’s impossible to compare prices.
so much truth! great post and greater pictures:) i can’t even imagine shopping with three boys–i have a hard enough time doing the magic grocery math by myself!
we kicked our paper towel habit about six months ago and haven’t looked back. damn the man!
A bewildering array of choices in the paper towel aisle, for sure.
I do the close-your-eyes-sin-around-and-point method for choosing paper towels. Now, toilet paper is an altogether different (t)issue.
Apparently you will stop at nothing until you secure a paper product sponsor to BlogHer this year.
Yeah. you might wanna re-think your approach. Just sayin.
🙂
You roll with all 3 boys at the same time!?! You had an assistant right? I’m a select a size girl, no print.
Have you ever caught Wal-Mart price an eight pack of paper towels for $4 each and a sixteen pack of the same type of paper towels for $9? It happens all the time here, and I feel so special for finding it and saving that dollar. 🙂
You may think I’m kidding, but trust me. I am not.
