I am impressed. I often wish I had a calculator with me when I am trying to figure out the best deal because they refuse to use the same units of measure. So annoying.<BR/><BR/>Big Sis, I'm a scruncher not a folder. Yet no amount of scrunching makes one-ply soft :( Seperating 2 ply is just odd. If you are going to do that you might as well just use cloth wipes and re-wash! I too am fascinated with my new knowledge of the Charmin color code. I need to go to the store and check it out!Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-76357192267467450812009-04-09T09:17:00.000-07:002009-04-09T09:17:00.000-07:00I remember someone saying that the first thing eve...I remember someone saying that the first thing everyone does with toilet paper is fold it in half, thereby making their own ply-ness to their liking. And I remember some crazy frugal person who actually spent time SEPARATING the plys of his 2-ply toilet paper to get more use out of it (they including a picture of him and his kids unrolling it onto a pencil).<BR/><BR/>But wow, I had no idea that Charmin's packages had color codes. I knew they had red and blue colors but I never knew they MEANT something. Ha ha ha I have never seen yellow Charmin! It's probably the cheap hotel stuff or something.

I really don't think most people put as much thought into their toilet paper as I do!Saver Queenhttp://saverqueen.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-71212669611699569812009-04-08T19:35:00.000-07:002009-04-08T19:35:00.000-07:00Wow, weakonomist, I never noticed the different co...Wow, weakonomist, I never noticed the different colors for quality. I think my regular grocery store only carries the good stuff. Not enough shelf space for all of those choices. I'll have to look next time.<BR/><BR/>Over the Cubicle Wall, I know! If I wanted one-ply I would buy Scotts. This is probably too much info but I don't flush my paper just so I can use the good stuff in the RV. I hate one-ply and camping TP.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-80240995542312006412009-04-08T19:11:00.000-07:002009-04-08T19:11:00.000-07:00One ply toilet paper is a curse on humanity.One ply toilet paper is a curse on humanity.Over the Cubicle Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842722161649016062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-23539171267320479332009-04-08T18:59:00.000-07:002009-04-08T18:59:00.000-07:00The package says it.

Looks like they were able to pull you in on brand recognition alone. <BR/><BR/>It might still be useful for makeup, but I can't speak from experience.
