Grateful that i was able to afford to buy a new plunger. Needed it as a paper-towel holder.

Previously, this house hasn't seen many rolls of paper towels.  But it sure had and has gone through dish towels, and being a person who sews - tip from my mom, years back - there's uses for fabric remnants, especially white cotton.  And besides, paper-towels had always been just another thing to pay for at the store.

But i  like those damp-wipes that come in the canister - which i can't find right now, thanks to the predators ;/   But even those i've been careful with.  Being a child of the 70s, the public school system taught us kids to be mindful about conserving mother earth's natural resources.  Of course, they didn't breathe one single word about being good stewards of the earth - nah, too Biblical.  But anyway, don't want to trash the planet, and don't want to spend money - that's better used elsewhere.  $2.75 for two rolls of good paper-towels...hey, that's almost a 1/2 pack of (off-brand) smokes.

i can be careful with paper-products because, it has always been just my husband and i living here.  Every time i see a canister of damp-wipes - in the kitchen, bathroom or at work - the pastor's wife comes to mind; she introduced me to them - her life situation calls for them, often.  She and pastor have a daughter who is seriously disabled.

Anyway, with the toilet-paper situation as it is, i saw the paper-towels and bought a package of two rolls.  Last week, saw a few packs of those cheapoid paper napkins, and bought one.  Yesterday, the store was selling toilet-paper by the roll - 3 per customer.  It wasn't the brand i like, but was grateful they had some.

And to think, in early March, i was going to buy a pack of toilet-paper (the good stuff - that's cheaper in the long run) but had decided then to hold off till the following week - not knowing about con-vir's paper-product predators were fixing to strike.
