Scotties Review and Walmart $50 Gift Card Giveaway

If you have a household like mine you know tissue goes very fast. You also know how expensive tissue can be. I personally buy the large multi-roll packs just so I don’t have to keep buying tissue every week. My packs lasts a good 3-4 weeks depending on how many people are in the house on a given week. Sometimes my mom comes to visit or friends come over.

Facial Tissue Issues Too

This is also true for facial tissue. When fall and winter comes the facial tissue disappears because we have allergies and get the occasional cold. I’ll buy a generic brand to save a few pennies; I’m just not brand loyal about it. I’ve seen the facial tissue commercials, especially the one with the kid whose nose moves around his face….can you say creepy! I don’t really care about the lotions and creams they put in the tissue to make it softer. It just means it’s more expensive and messier somehow.

Trying Out Scotties

So I got an opportunity to try out a pretty economical facial tissue this week. It’s called Scotties Facial tissue. I thought it was made by or the same as Scott Tissue, but it’s not. Irving Tissue, Inc makes Scotties and they guarantee softness and a great price. They are quite soft and strong. They don’t lotion in it but they still feel good.

Here are a few cool facts about Scotties that I didn’t know:

• Scotties combines a unique brand promise to plant 3 trees for every 1 used with the long-standing history of its parent company, J.D. Irving, Limited.
• Scotties communicates on every box its commitment to plant 3 trees for every 1 used in making its softest ever tissues and uses 3rd party auditing to ensure compliance.
• Scotties Softest Ever tissues are chain of custody certified through the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI). To learn more visit www.sfiprogram.org.
• Scotties is the only major U.S. facial tissue to be linked with the Responsible Forest Project (RFP)

Save or Plant More Trees Please

I’m all for planting trees to replace the ones used to make the tissue we use each day. I lived in a rural area for a few years when I was younger and I saw the effects of deforestation on a small scale. It breaks your heart to see a barren place that used to contain hundreds of beautiful trees.
