Let’s Talk Toilet Paper Again. (And Free $5 Amazon MP3 Credit)

October 26, 2012 By Dana White 5 Comments

Do you remember when I cheered for toilet paper?

Right.  That post.

Well, if you clicked over there, did you notice that there are 21 comments on it?

21 comments is a lot around here.  And that post is about toilet paper.

Mmm-hmmm.

So I’m talking T.P again in this post.  See . . . I got comments, and even dedicated EMAILS on the subject of toilet paper.  I’ve had people thank me for talking them into trying Scott.  People love their Scott 1000.

One of the comments (that’s probably a reflection of what most people’s excuses are for not using Scott TP) expressed someone’s concern about the thinness of Scott.

Concern, or excuse.  (See how I made this part of my excuses series?)

Anyway, here was my response:

“OK. To get pretty personal, yes the paper is thinner. But I use more, and that takes care of the issues you mentioned. Meaning, a thicker wad of this paper STILL is better on the plumbing than a thinner wad of the other kinds. Make sense?

The only problem is that my kids are used to using thicker wads and tend to do that in the homes of relatives who also have plumbing issues but won’t switch toilet paper so the thicker wads of the other stuff end up causing problems. Then said relatives mildly freak out about how much toilet paper my kids use.

And still, even using “more” the rolls last a lot longer than other kinds.”

And I must say that even though the Scott TP we use is thinner, it ISN’T scratchy.  TMI.  I know.

Now do you want to know about the free 5$ Amazon MP3 credit?  Well, joining Scott Shared Values not only gives you access to great printable coupons for various Scott products, it also has lots of other perks.  There are discounts for various things like family activities.

Very cool.

AND right now, if you’re a member of Scott Shared Values, watch the scrolling pictures when you’re signed in and click on the one about Amazon MP3 credit.  I answered a ONE question survey and was immediately emailed a code that allowed me to add 5$ in MP3 credit to my Amazon account.

Most individual songs are .99 on Amazon.  Of course, I immediately downloaded a karaoke song from the musical Wicked.  So you can get five songs totally free.  Or use it toward the cost of an album!

And you don’t have to use it all at once.  Go here to apply it to your account.  (I had a little trouble finding where to add it because it’s different from regular Amazon giftcards.)  The credit expires January 31, 2013 . . . so you have plenty of time to decide which song you will download and choreograph for your kids to perform for the grandparents on Christmas Eve.  I’m sorry.  This offer has now expired.

What?  You don’t do that?

Oh.

So you totally want to join now, right?   You can sign up right here right now! (Through my referral link!)

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Scott. I received a promotional item as a thank-you for participating and am able to earn additional rewards throughout the campaign.

(Lame) Excuse: “But Surely There’s a Better Solution . . . “

October 25, 2012 By Dana White 10 Comments

Recently, my 10yo said, “Wait, isn’t that the same shoe shelf we used to use?  Like . . . a really long time ago?” Why yes.  It is. Do you remember the extreme decluttering of the shoe bench/cabinet that TOTALLY didn’t work? At all? Well, way back when . . . that shoe bench was […]

October 24, 2012 By Dana White 24 Comments

Here I go with a post that will send some people over the edge.  I know, because I’m one of you. Feel free to suggest what I could have done with these, because I really am interested. I love knowing all the possibilities of turning trash into treasure. But I tend to just treasure trash.  […]

How to Dust When Your Home Could Pass for a Haunted House

October 23, 2012 By Dana White 11 Comments

  The dust in my master bedroom was atrocious when I got to Cleaning Day in the Master Bedroom Saga. Horrendous.  Terrifying.  Appalling. Yes, this post is part of my 31 Days of (Lame) Excuses.  But I’m going to share both a REASON why the dust was so bad, and then an excuse. A lame […]

October 22, 2012 By Dana White 59 Comments

I didn’t actually say all these excuses would be my current excuses. Did I? Whatever. It’s my blog and I can write what I want.  (Now just a warning . . . I may get a little preachy, but I truly am basing this on my own experience.) The most common “But . . . […]

I’m behind on my (lame) excuse posts. Sorry. I missed Thursday because I was out most of the day, and couldn’t find a moment to write.  I missed Friday because I was putting up a post about my new appliances from Maytag.  And I really couldn’t come up with a way to make that an […]

My New Maytag Appliances!

October 19, 2012 By Dana White 7 Comments

Last week, something incredible happened.  It involved opening my front door. It also involved bringing people in (whom I’d never met before) and letting them look at, in, and around my kitchen. But it’s okay because . . . my new appliances from Maytag were delivered!!  Yes, I’m crazy-excited about being a Maytag Mom, but […]

Excuse #752 It’s ALL NONY’S FAULT

October 17, 2012 By Dana White 4 Comments

Today, I’m publishing a comment left by one of you as a guest post.  Slob with OCD wrote this If-You-Give-a-Mouse-a-Cookie-esque comment a few days ago, and it tickled me so much I wanted to feature it!   If it weren’t for Nony . . . I wouldn’t have been hand washing cereal bowls this morning. […]
