Stock Up to Survive the Holidays

You have 3 kids running around the house still in their pajamas. The phone rings. It’s your Aunt Sue saying she and a group of your extended family that you haven’t seen in years is now on their way to your house for an afternoon of catching up. Because that’s what you do during the Christmas season. “Great!”, you say full of strained merry cheer as you pan around your home at everything that needs to be done in the minutes before they arrive. We are never going to survive the holidays, you think. And that’s when you remember…

We’re out of toilet paper!

Don’t let this be you. Avoid this scene and survive the holidays by stocking up. Ensure your preparation goes off without a hitch with plenty of Cottonelle, Kleenex, Scott and Viva products, available at Walmart via the Ibotta app, and help family and friends feel the togetherness that comes with this time of year. Instead of, you know, rushing off to get more toilet paper.

How do we stock up to survive the holidays?

Plenty of Paper Towels – Because you never know when spills might happen, and with 3 kids already in the house and who knows how many more may show up, they’ll probably happen often. Viva® Paper Towels are the perfect companion for taking on tough messes. They’re durable, with a cloth-like texture, and can tackle the job when wet or dry.

Paper and Plastic – When unexpected guests stop by, sure it’s nice to break out the fine china. And if you’re having a family dinner, that’s probably what you should do. But for everything in between, I’m all for paper plates and plastic cups. I mean, why not? They are family after all. I like to keep plenty of each on hand.

Simple Foods – To put something on those high class paper plates, I try to make sure I keep ingredients available for quick and easy to throw together little finger foods or snacks, like my Cheese Stuffed Peppers. Because hungry guests are not happy guests.

Don’t Forget the TP – The last thing we all want to do is make a mad dash to the store to grab a pack of toilet paper. Scott® 1100 toilet paper has 100 FREE sheets per roll for even more long-lasting value and performance, that means you’ll run out less often. Cottonelle® is another staple in our bathroom. With CleanRipple Texture, Cottonelle is strong, extra-absorbent, and gets you cleaner than the other brands.

Caring is Sharing – Kleenex®, that is. I like to keep a Holiday Oval on end tables in the main living areas. The oval-shaped box adds extra sophistication to your home, with fun festive prints and colors inspired by the holiday season. The Perfect Fit canisters are great for my small bathroom as they’re designed to never be in the way, Kleenex® Perfect Fit Facial Tissue makes tissues readily available because in moments of care, one soft Kleenex tissue is all you need.
