OK, I heard on TV last night....almost heard that is....that there is going to be a freeze on some food prices...anyone else see it? I walked into the room at the last minute and didn't hear what foods or when.

The detergent manufacturers always advise you use X amount. You can easily cut that amount by 1/3 to 1/2 and get you clothes just as clean as they should be. Read this somewhere about 2 years ago and have been doing it since then. When I told my husband, he jumped on the bandwagon.

I was shocked (shouldn't have been) quite a while back when I went to buy paper towels. Packaging said 50% more towels. Great, right? I opened up the roll and the paper towels were skinny minni sized! Took two to make whathad been one before.

About the TP. I called the company number on the package and complained about the width of the roll being 1/4-1/2 inch narrower. I told them as an adult, my butt hadn't gotten narrower and now it takes more paper. They said it was a decisions to try to keep from raising cost by trimming the size of the roll. They did send me several 55 cent coupons off for my future purchases.

We have a brand of ice cream here called Kemps that still has the 1/2 gallons paper carton, but the same brand also has their premium ice creams in the 1 1/2 quart containers and they cost more. They have some really good flavors in the 1/2 gallon, so that's what I buy.
