OMGosh, it's been 6 years so I'd almost forgotten, but you are SO right about huggies. Nasty stuff. And beware if you ever drop one in a bathtub or toilet (don't ask, and no it wasn't intentional), Omgosh what a MESS! Funky gel pellet thingies everywhere!
And those diapers can get to weigh like, what, 15 pounds or something if you actually leave them overnight. Sure, they don't leak, but holy cow, is 15 pounds of (lets be genteel and say "liquid") taped to your baby a good thing?
Don't get me wrong, sometimes it's the best you can do, like if the baby is sleeping through the night for the first time and you really don't want to wake him or whatever. I'm not being critical. But when you remove such a diaper, you can't help but think this wasn't really what babies were intended to sleep in:)

I actually like the paper towels ok. They're definitely not viva, but I'd say they're the equivalent of something like Bounty Basic.
It's probably been a year since I posted about the gummy vitamins, but my kids STILL love those. Definitely need to pick some more up this week. The Absolute Divine butter cookies are also pretty good. Not the best butter cookies I've ever had, but definitely in the passing range.
The trash bags are likewise passable. We use the ones with the pull ties on them, and you have to be careful doing the pull ties so you don't rip the bag, plus you have to sort of push the gathering top of the bag up and coax the ties along when you go to tie it. My husband finds this tedious, but not tedious enough to tell me to stop buying bags at CVS for with funny money:)
I like their paper plates, Very equivalent to dixie. The plastic cups are tolerable, but I wish they had a dixie equivalent for those also. On the plastic bowls, I don't buy them, and wouldn't recommend them to someone using them with pets or small children. They're somehow more unstable than the paper dixie style bowls, and I personally dislike cleaning clam chowder out of the carpets.
I'll let you know about the toothbrushes in about a year when those finally get to the top of the pile:) And the only way they'll get to the top in a year is because I tend to swap out toothbrushes after anyone's been sick, so with 3 children, we have the potential to burn through a lot of toothbrushes:)
Can't think of anything else off the top of my head we've used. Oh, plastic silverware. It's plastic silverware. The white kind, not the really deluxe plastic silverware that's clear and thick and heavy. Works well enough. I mean, it's throw away plastic silverware, so my expectations are pretty minimal, but they certainly pass for me.
