Petroleum jelly is a very important tool in my line of work. We go through many jars a month to keep mom from getting diaper rash. At Wal-mart I found out that if you buy the store brand petroleum jelly in the large container in the pharmacy dept. It is cheaper than the same brand that is in the baby needs section of the Health and Beauty Aids dept. The lids are a different color but they are still the store brand and same size jar.I can't remember how much cheaper. I keep forgetting to write it down so I can tell everyone. Around 5 cents I think. And don't go to the baby department they just have little jars. Seems like having Petroleum jelly in 3 differant places is a bit much. I guess that is the way they make there money. It is the same with baby wipes or handy wipes. They have them all over the place. I have not checked to see which is cheaper. The health and beauty aids dept. have lots more to pick from and in bigger packages. So my bet is on the health and beauty aids dept. being cheaper than the others. And baby wipes are cheaper than the adult wipes. Bad thing is the sheets are so much smaller but they still work.
Did I mention that it is 6 a.m. I should be in bed. Could not sleep. Everyone else is a sleep except the birds. They are singing so I think this is going to be a nice spring day.

Every time I read an entry I am struck dumb by the amount of care you must be giving your mother and the time you have to give in order to do it well. i have said it before you are an angel. I am so glad you can find happiness in the smallest things like birds chirping. You humble us all
ReplyDeleteKaren, you are amazing.
ReplyDeleteBut, you probably DO need more sleep!
All best wishes, Cass
Your mom is sure lucky to have such a loving caring daughter.
ReplyDelete6 am? Call me. I am up.
ReplyDeleteYou're so right about checking out different areas of good ole Wal Mart for the price differences; I've noticed that too.
ReplyDeleteI ditto what everyone else has said.....You are an amazing daughter!
