Okay, so JUST to clarify some Costco thoughts, I paid closer attention when I went there yesterday.
Costco’s sharp cheddar cheese is just over $4 for a 2lb block. Words can’t express how mu
ch this family of lactose-lovers appreciates such a great deal. A bloggy friend of mine mentioned Winco’s cheese prices and while I LOVE Winco and buy their cheese all the time, they do not carry a store brand sharp cheddar. They have medium and mild but no sharp. This has always brought me close to tears (dragging four munchkins to a separate store just for sharp cheddar would make even Super Nanny cry at the sheer inconvenience… nevermind the tired and grumpy 2, 4, 5 and 7 year olds who were “done” 13 minutes after walked into Winco) but with Costco’s great price and the fact that they are literally right next door to Winco helps keep the tears at bay.
Costco Toilet Paper. I looked yesterday and there is only one 
type of Kirkland TP so we must be all talking about the same one. I’m baffled though. At first I thought I had a spoiled and pampered hiney that I had been unknowingly catering to. But now even the kids are starting to complain about the chaffing. What are your secrets?
I guess by the time we’ve gone through the 57 mega rolls we know have, our fannies will have adjusted and the soft, fluffy, soothing Charmin goodness will be a faint, distant memory.
The nice thing I DO know about Kirkland TP is that I don’t have to worry about the kids clogging any pipes with it. It’s the thickness of a 1 ply… and for this toilet phobia mama, that’s a good thing.

You must not have ever experienced real 1 ply, because Costco’s 2 ply is NOT like any 1 ply that I have ever experienced. Yes, I think you do have spoiled hiney’s! LOL! Can’t stand Charmin type TP. So soft and fluffy it doesn’t feel like it is getting the job done. lol!

SO funny how two people can have such different opinions! lol. I love the picture to go with your description, too funny! I will have to try costco’s sharp cheddar… I don’t think I have ever purchased sharp cheddar before. I am normally a mild cheddar kind of girl.
BTW, tried your recipe for roasted potatoes last night. Delicious! Big hit with my hubby and boys. Thanks for the recipe and great picture. Keep ‘em coming! I love tried and true recipes!

Yes, it’s a bit ‘rough’, but you’ll get used to it eventually. It’s like Scott Tissue, and you’re right…no plugged up toilets, lol. After my niece and two other people I know of had to replace their entire first floor laminate due to kids plugging up toilets with Charmin type TP so badly that it overflowed, warping their entire floors beyond repair…I vowed I’d bypass velvety softness for the peace of mind of not having to replace expensive and exhausting-to-install flooring!
