Now you get 4.6 EXHORBITANT Rolls!

I consider myself OK at math, and I consider myself a pretty seasoned household supply shopper. Therefore, running into a store to grab some paper towels or toilet paper should be no big deal. I want to believe that I have sufficient mental capacity to make an educated purchase efficiently. But seriously, the current TP and paper towel packaging/marketing is blowing my mind. 12 BIG rolls = 24 regular rolls? 6 JUMBO rolls = 15 regular rolls? "Big" may or may not mean "double". "Large" usually means "big", but not always. What defines the baseline "regular" roll, anyway? Is a regular roll comprised of 170 2-ply sheets? And then there's good ol' Scott, boasting their 1000 sheet roll. Does a regular roll even exist anymore?
Maybe I'm alone in my suffering, but I think this is pure madness. I propose that the packaging simply specifies  ply (1 or 2?) and squares/sheets per roll. That's all I want: "Apples to apples" instead of "Jumbo oranges to regular pears".

Peppermint Candy Pie

Peppermint Candy Pie: I took hold of this innocent little morsel a few nights ago....on a whim in an Aldi aisle....and she downright smacked me across the head (and stomach) with a festival of flavor. Recommended.

So...

So one day Ginger and I grabbed a can of sardines from Aldi. I'd never had sardines before. Before cracking open our tin-wrapped goodness in the office environment, certain coworkers warned about a potent odor that might originate from the package. Not wanting to offend, we took our sardines outside and sat on the tailgate of my pickup in the parking lot, slapping the shiny blobs onto toast (or was it crackers...?) and enjoying...or at least experiencing. That is one of the many lunch hour shenanigans to be documented in this blog....
