Angel Soft safe for septics too
and price is NOT a budget buster ;-)

OT: But I'd sure like to know that TP brand!!....
mine are ALWAYS clogging up and I swear it must be the brand we use as they are new toilets/but low-energy/water saver toilets. I am thinking it might be time to "step away from the Charmin"now back to our regularly scheduled program.... I just found the budget board and am enjoying the array of topics discussed/tidbits gleaned from the many different discussions! If something doesn't interest me, I chose not to continue reading. So far this board is very helpful, entertaining and supportive

complaining about 'budget busters'? Frankly, I am tired of hearing everyone fuss about life's 'little troubles'. We all have financial issues and events but is the Disboard the place to come vent about them?
Do you CARE that we have to take a $250k mortgage to pay off his ex-wife? Or that we have to help DS buy a car or what medical bills we may have, etc?
I don't mean to sound heartless but I don't think this is the forum for whining about our personal woes. I thought it was to share budgeting tips and ways to get to Disneyworld for less money.
JMTCW--which, with inflation--is worth about 1.25 cents now!
I'll take it one step further -- yes, yes, yes, this board has seriously strayed from its' original purpose (and I, too, tire of hearing of people who have traveled to WDW in the past year and now for some reason or another find theselves not being able to pay the household bills).
And then, there's the crowd who always asks "the girls" about stuff like "what feminine products do you use", etc. I say that because there are some of us males on the board who enjoy saving a few cents here and there. Stuff like that just scares everybody away!
Add that to the fact that the board moderator/co-host has been ABSENT since last November...
I grew up on Charmin/White Cloud and it's what I always have bought--until we had the septic pumped this last time. The lady gave me a "talking to" about toilet paper. She told us Charmin/White Cloud and quilted Northern were the worst for our septic. They don't break down as well. Another mom & I were talking, her hubby won't let her buy anything but the purple rolls of Scott's.
I'm one of those if you don't like it, don't read it/don't open it.
I think this board should be set up with only things that interest MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Well, I see you are Chicago Bears fan. I just cashed out my Upromise account to buy tickets to the Bears-Carolina game, and plan to drive 12 hours to see said game.
Care to analyze whether I should have spent my reward money in such a crazy way??
Actually I'd like to think I do care. I look at it this way, some times life is rough and when your trying to do the right thing and it seems like it's raining lemons on you, all you need is a friendly voice to hold on.
I don't have a problem with people using me as a friendly voice. There is strength in numbers.
Next, you never know when some one who is in the exact same posititon as you are will read your post and then have a solution that you never thought of. Information is power.
Lastly, these things usually go in cycles, some times we get a lot of them and some times it's more about what deals are out there. There are days I have to tune out the dis and that's cool. Just take a break or cruise another forum.
I've learned a lot from these boards. I participate in "0 spend month". I found out about sites like www.southernsavers.com here, and I am saving around $200 a month on groceries by using it.
I have put 2 kids through college, I have had DH lose a job and had to move across the country and I had to negotiate with all my credit cards and start a CCS. I look for bargains on everything and I almost an expert at using Priceline for travel.
SO- I spent a lot of time researching the best ways to deal with those problems, and I feel like the least I can do is share what I have learned, since I gained so much from being here. If I don't have knowledge of how to deal with a financial problem, I won't try to help but it only takes a minute to write a supportive post. We can alll use a little empathy once in awhile.
So, no those threads don't bother me. The only thing that bothers me is being flamed when I am sincerely trying to help someone.
I think you should volunteer to be the board moderator and clean up the place then![]()
I think this board should be set up with only things that interest MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
So, therefore, all future discussion should be limited to:
1.) Discussions about personal finance where we all encourage/congratulate each other on how financially disciplined we are.
2.) Wacky deals wherein I can buy 25 boxes of mac n' cheese for $3.00 AND get 6 packs of Capri Sun free.
3.) CVS specials.
4.) The occasional OT post with a picture of WDW/a cute kid/a cute cat/someone's awesome DIY kitchen remodel.
All other threads will need to be relegated to some other board so they don't clutter up my BB experience.
could we add one more thing? deals on cheap chocolate?
Noone moderates these boards? Really?
Dawn
uh oh ! will you now go crazy posting ?
