When you're on a tight budget, there are a lot of things you cut down on, rethink, or simply do without. Me? I love Clorox. The brand. I love Kraft mayonnaise. I love Tide laundry detergent. These are all things we're doing OK without. So what if I have to buy off brand bleach? Quite honestly, it does the same darn thing as Clorox. It's just my own mental anal retentiveness that thinks I have to have Kraft. And Tide.
So, I went to Walmart. We needed toilet paper. Lo and behold, I found an already cheap brand that was on sale. Which made it dirt cheap. And what do you get with dirt cheap T.P.? Well, let's just say it worked about as well as if you were wiping yourself with dirt. Tim affectionately dubbed it "John Wayne" toilet paper.
It's a good thing it's autumn and the leaves are coming down, cause a fist full of those worked a whole lot better.
There are just some things you just can't bargain shop for.

I COMPLETELY understand!! It becomes a fun game figuring out what cheap brands work as good as the Name brands and what doesn't work. Some unfortunate trial and error.
