Gripe session

I don't know if this gripes anyone as much as it does me. But I bought toilet paper a while back and bought some more last weekend. Same brand, same price, same everything, but look what they have done to my favorite toilet paper. One roll is now an inch shorter and not as big around as it was about a month ago. I've noticed the same thing on other grocery items. All the items have the same price as they have been for a while, but they have downsized all the boxes of cereal, ice cream, peanut butter, jelly jars, syrup bottles, etc. AND NOW TOILET PAPER!!! Good grief. What are they going to come up with next to try to rip off the consumers? I just had to get that off my chest. :D I feel better now. .....i can't believe I took a picture of toilet paper.......

Your absolutely right! It's is annoying it really hit me with the ice cream. I bought some for Jessica's birthday and was stunned. Even the cheaper buckets with handles are smaller! By the way how small can a roll of toilet paper get before we just call it Kleenex?

Scary isn't it? Now if our butts would just shrink to fit the size of the toilet paper, that would make it OK, right?

Hi Aunt Tamra just wanted you to know that I finally have a blog the address is

I think that ceareal in the boxes are getting smaller. Also why is it that already shreaded cheese is 12-15 bucks but you can buy a block for 5-7, are we really that lazy to spend almost 7 more dolars for cheese?

Amen and Hallelujah! They used to say you can't get something for nothing, but anymore cuts and soon we will be getting nothing for something. But don't worry, I just read the government is going to spend almost 1 trillion to fix this so no worries!

Ohh my word. I did not even think something like this could happen?!! I know our grocery's are not stretching as far as they use too.

This post cracked me up. It is so true though. What is up with that?

I hear you! Doesn't it just make you mad that you're spending so much money that you're literally just flushing down the toilet anyway and now it's more money for less? AAAHHHH!!!!
