I was fortunate enough to be able to sample Viva Vantage Paper towels for free through Crowdtap. YAY!
I was sent 4 rolls - 1 to keep and 3 to share. I hated parting with the other 3 rolls, but I gave them to two coworkers and my mom stole one before I could stop her!
The paper towels worked really well. I had a huge mess on my kitchen table ranging from soil to marker to dried juice. It just took two paper towels to clean the mess. I was happy with that.
Viva is a strong and stretchy towel. I was impressed by its usage.
I was not, however, impressed by the texture. It has a coarse texture and it just felt horrible on my skin. It weirded me out. That, combined with the price, means I most likely won't be getting these paper towels, unless I get a killer deal.
I was happy to have tried them. You should check them out if you want to try a nice, strong paper towel.
The first of the month is busy for me as a couponer. First, I have to go through the binder and clear out all the expired. (and have a moment of silence for all the coupons I end up throwing into the recycling bin.)
I always makes me rounds to all the coupon sites and see what new goodies there are.
I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I just haven't been inspired by any sales this past week. Last $5 Friday, I only bought the Drumsticks. Here are the good deals I see for this week: Spend $75 or more, get a 30 cent Gas Reward. (Even in my tiny Chevy Aveo, thats like saving an extra $3!)
$5 Fridays:
Filippo Berio or Star Olive Oil 25.3 oz or 25 oz - $5.00
