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

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI These are simple tips I want to share with those of you who are like me and do not have fancy programs to help when needing to convert pixels to inches, find out how many pixels an image has, and increase DPIs for better print quality. My tips are based on a Windows 11 OS and may not work on other systems. However, you may be able to do an internet search to explore your OS options based on the information I have provided below. I do not receive any compensation from these two sites listed. I use them because they are easy, free, and safe to use. These tips are helpful if you need to quickly figure how many pixels you need for a certain number of inches so you can print the right size every time without guessing and wasting printer ink until you do get it right. Also, sometimes, a print needs to be flipped (mirrored, reversed) for transfers. And last but not least, if you’re selling printable items, a higher DPI is needed for ...

This Rule is Golden

 In Matthew 7:12 NLT, Jesus tells us , "Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets." image courtesy of Randalyn Hill via Unsplash My goodness, how often does the world turn the Golden Rule around? Jesus meant it for us to be kind and merciful. Many in the world use it to get even, to seek vindication for a wrong done to them - or what they think has been done to them, which is NOT at all what Jesus said in this verse. Yet, how many times do we hear, "Well, they did this to me. I'm going to do the same to them." Or, "That person was mean to me; I'm going to teach that person a lesson they will never forget." Or, "I never get a break. Why should I give anyone else a break?" Jesus said to treat people the way we want to be treated. That means to be cordial in all encounters. Show mercy to those who aren't showing us mercy. Let's be nice to people who...
