I will no longer buy Crisco canola oil. They reduced the bottle from 48 to 40 ounces. The price at Walmart was $5.68 a bottle, the Great Value brand was $3.67 for 48 ounces.

I think the biggest increase in things I buy is a low fat mayo. A large jar use to cost $8.99... it went up to $12.99... it is the only low fat mayo that I like the taste of otherwise I would just buy another brand.... now I treat it like gold...

@Tinkrbl44 - I know. I buy the 2 packs of Bounty triple roll. Yikes on the price.

@gidgetgh, @Tinkrbl44 if you have storage room check Amazon prices for larger quantities.

The eyes through which you see others may be the same as how they see you.

I have started buying the 500 count Walmart paper napkins and using them for napkins, tissues and paper towels. And guess what? For 95% of uses, it works. Just looking to get the job done; no need to impress anyone. Saves money and storage space.

Just a heads up ..... Do you have the Kroger grocery stores in your area?

Kroger is very good about providing the best quality possible of all their generic products. Last week I was looking at their paper towels. I've bought their two versions before, but this week I noticed something I'd never seen before.

The Kroger paper towels with the red & green labels on the packaging say "compare to Brawny".

The Kroger paper towels with the blue & green labels say "compare to Bounty".

I'm now using their Bounty generic .... and it's pretty darn close, IMO.

@Tinkrbl44 - thanks. I've used the Kroger paper towels before, especially during holiday season when they had adorable patterns on them. Maybe I'll check them out again.

Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Talking about paper towels, Bounty is simply the best imo. I've started buying store brands to use for general wipe-ups and save the Bounty for my windows, mirrors, or heavier jobs. This saves quite a bit of money. I don't like Costco's Kirkland brand, but Wal-Mart's Great Value dupe is pretty good.

And for napkins, again...Bounty is king, but Costco's Kirkland brand is a pretty good dupe. I like them better than the Wal-Mart dupe, and they are cheaper.

Tall kitchen bags? Costco's house brand is HALF the price of Wal-Mart's Great Value brand when comparing cost per bag. And you know Wal-Mart's brand is cheaper than Glad bags.

I only use cloth napkins so it never occurred to me to buy them for other reasons

like tissues ! When these tissues run out, that is exactly what I will do. I don't go to Walmart but I can have them delivered for about $3.50 each 500.....THANK YOU !

Groceries? Nursing home prices went up 18 percent. We'll pay through the grace of God.

@Danky2 They're not soft. If you catch a cold with a runny nose, you'll need something better. If you knock over the milk, grab a towel. But it's amazing how many daily uses they're good enough for.
