I used to be a Bounty girl.  It's what I grew up with.  They are the only paper towels my father will use.  I noticed when I first moved out that I used all the same products that my parents used.  As did my husband, which caused some problems at first, but anyways.  When I became frugal I began trying other brands (and no name brands) of paper towels and found that though Bounty is good, there are others that will do, if the price is right. One paper towel I never tried was VIVA® Towels.  I'm not really sure why.  Maybe they were never on sale, or I didn't have a coupon when they were on sale, I really don't know.

**************This is a Sticky Post and will remain here for a few days,  please scroll down for new posts! Your not in the wrong place. This is where Frugal Rhode Island Mama used to be, but now it's the home of Koupon Karen! Everything is the same (at least we hope so) except for the name, the web address and the design. I hope you like it and please bare with us while we get everything in order. If you happen upon something that doesn't work right if you could kindly let me know, I'd really appreciate it. If you currently have my button on your blog, I'd love it if you could swap it out for the new one. You can find the code in the sidebar. If you want to be added to my blogroll just...

In the next few days you are going to see some changes at FrugalRIMama.com.  It will no longer be Frugal RI Mama, I will be changing my blog name and taking the Rhode Island out of the name.  I don't just talk about RI deals, as a matter of fact I pretty much talk about all National Deals.  Some stores may be regional but they are still covered in more than just RI. The layout of the blog will also be a little different.  I'm really excited to reveal the new site and as long as things go as planned, Monday night we will do the transfer. If you have FrugalRIMama.com bookmarked it will automatically go to the new site and I also believe it will change your bookmark, but don't hold me to...
