Grocery shopping can be frustrating for those of us over sixty. Many, like me, are not ever going to waste our money on a pretty box of kleenex. All we want is something to blow our noses in and toss in the waste basket.
P.S. One piece of personal experience advice: The Lotion Tissue is not the one to clean your eye glasses with. It will smudge and smear your lenses till hell won't have it.
Timeline of the Kleenex
1930s - Kleenex Company received umpteen letters from consumers saying that the facial tissues worked great for colds. This meant that both men and women could benefit from the Kleenex. The company responded, and that was pretty much the end of the handkerchief.
1940s - Paper restrictions during World War II limited tissue production, but not the spirit of the company. During the war, they used the same tissue material for sterile dressings for our wounded soldiers.

Until my Mother's dying day, she preferred the lady's pretty hankies that were washed so many times the edges frayed off. God bless her soul for teaching me, by example, to choose the no-nonsense approach to life.
