A Little Over the Top!

This is my third post today....sigh.....


What's wrong with me? Why am I so bored? Why am I (gasp) ready to go back to work?

Well I have 2.5 more weeks so until then happy blog reading.


So we all know, (if you don't visit some earlier posts) that my husband is a little (hmm, how do I say this nicely?) tight with money.

Apparently people love it! These types of posts are the most commented on. Jana told me today that her favorite thing about Randy is the fact he's cheap. She was laughing so hard when I told her this story. So maybe it's the fact we can all laugh at him. He doesn't take offense to it. He's very proud of his frugality. So it's more like we're laughing with Randy and not at him.



Tell me what you notice about the following picture?














Besides the fact it's a picture of toilet paper, what else do you notice? Look at the circumference of the paper roll. Notice anything? It's squished. Now who would have squished all of the toilet paper rolls in our house?


















Aww look it's my handsome hubby.

Randy is guilty of squishing all of our toilet paper. Why? Now what a great question.

He read somewhere that if the circumference of the actual toilet paper roll is narrower and not such a complete circle, people will use less paper. The squishing factor allows you to have access to the toilet paper without it spinning out of control. So now when you use our toilet paper it sounds like a flat tire. But hey this is saving us a whopping 3 cents per roll. Try it today! Randy swears by it. He also says it's easier to squish the rolls when they are all intact inside the plastic wrapping so you can just give it a big ol' Charmin bear squeeze as opposed to annihilating each individual roll.


Just thought I'd relay the tip. Hey I'm happy to help you save money in your restrooms as well.
