Rants and Raves...little rant and a BIG Rave

Hi Everyone
space
THE LITTLE RANT!
space
Just a short tuna rant...and I apologize in advance for this. Why can't I make 2 sandwiches out of one can of tuna, oh I don't know...maybe because they give you less in the can and charge you more. Tuna was always a 6 oz can. Now it's 5 oz. I know that's not a big difference, but now I can only make one sandwich. This along with every other product out there, like a pound (16 oz) of coffee is now 11.5 0z. and don't get me started on Nutri-Grain bars. When my girls were little those bars were big...now it's a 2 bite snack. Ok, I'm done. Do you feel the same??? The picture of the tuna can is blurry, but trust me it says 5 oz.

My friend Tina, from where I work, started a blog not too long ago, Seaside Stitches. She makes beautiful quilts, volunteers her time with the girl scouts and does a hundred other things too. One of those things are these beautiful lapel pins. They are absolutely adorable and she hand makes them all!!

Guess what...she's having her first give-away for your choice of 3 of these pins. Yes, I said 3, so go see her and tell I sent you (not for any reason for me, just tell her I said hi! Oh, and she's opening an etsy shop soon, so you can buy one if you don't win!

That's my rant and rave for today. I also went to Home Depot this morning and I got a ton of stuff for "Tool Time Tuesday." So stay tuned.

Have a great day,

  4. About your Rant! If you add celery and apples to the tuna, along with the mayo, you get two sandwiches, other wise...keep the rant going!
    I love the pins your friend makes, so thanks for the post.

  8. I have been noticing too that things are getting smaller but the price seems to be getting bigger.
    I went over and entered, those are so cute. If I don't win I just might have to buy one.

  9. I went over too Karen. Those pins are absolutely amazing.

    Tool Time Tuesday? I can't wait! But I think the title should be changed to "The Tip Queen Presents... Tool Time Tuesday".

  10. I am so with you on your rant. The other day I was making a pasta sauce and needed l l/2 cups which I could usually get out of the can size I buy....and it was way short, and I mean WAY!!! It is so frustrating to be ripped off by this downsizing scheme!!! OK, off my soap box. Love the pins and I off to check out your friends blog!
