Bounty Paper Towels Product Review

Today, I want to let you in on a little secret. I recently bought a new four-pack of  Bounty paper towels - full sheets. I am not a select-a-size fan at all, for the record. Anyway, the newer package didn't look as thick as the last several packages I had bought over the last several years. I happened to have an older package in storage (and I actually noticed not long ago that the rolls seemed to be smaller in more recent packages, as well, based on the way they fit more loosely in my paper towel holder; not too long ago, they were very snug in my holder until I had used four or five paper towels), so I compared the two when I brought the newer package home. Lo and behold, I was correct. So, I think the decrease in sheets actually started happening gradually over the last year or so. But this time, the reduction was very noticeable. And I hope Bounty won't decrease the size anymore.

As you can see in the pictures below, the older package of paper towels shows 58 sheets per roll. And the newer package shows that there are only 50 sheets per roll. The package still suggests these are double rolls despite the sheet reduction. I knew you would ask, so I checked - the sheets are still the same size from both packages. So, that hasn't changed yet. But that change to fewer sheets equates to 32 fewer paper towels per four-count package. And the price didn't decrease, in case you were wondering.

For now, I will continue to buy Bounty, because they work best for the jobs I need to use paper towels for. I have tried other paper towel brands just to find myself disappointed in the quality, using more paper towels compared to Bounty, which does cost more money in the long run. I definitely can't do that. If I do find a comparable brand that does cost less (because I do test other brands from time to time), I will be sure to post that find here. 

As a matter of fact, there is one brand at the moment that is advertising triple layer paper towels. So, I am the movable middle they are targeting right now. And I'm willing to at least try one roll to find out if it meets my standards. I'm the homemaker/domestic engineer that needs to make the best decisions for my family who will soon be on a very limited budget when my husband retires. And with the price of everything escalating or the pieces per item being reduced these days, I'm looking for comparable, more budget-friendly items to buy before retirement happens anyway. So, Bounty, I probably won't break up with you altogether. But I am searching for another paper towel that I can substitute you with from time-to-time to help make ends meet.

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

Tomedes Free Transcription and Translation

Recently, as you know, I’ve transitioned from a career in transcription and data entry to one focused on generating passive income . Throughout this shift, I’ve realized that I still rely on AI transcription services for the writing component of my new business. In previous posts, I mentioned several AI transcription options, and today, I want to highlight Tomedes’ free Transcribing (up to a 10 MB video file) and Translation services.  Tomedes Transcribing and Translation Services Like other free offerings, these services come with certain limitations and may incur additional charges once those limits are exceeded. However, I find their free offers to be comparable to other AI transcription and translation platforms available online. Offering free services showcases Tomedes' confidence in their products. Additionally, providing these free options helps build trust between the company and users, while also giving individuals the opportunity to explore and experience the features o...
