It comes in handy for our guests on holidays and they can pick what brand of shampoo, lotion, etc. It makes them feel like they're staying in a fancy hotel instead of sleeping on an air mattress on our game room floor.<BR/><BR/>As for the toilet paper and Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540060049975721555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-64584503258993593882008-01-10T08:45:00.000-08:002008-01-10T08:45:00.000-08:00I agree for the most part with the other posters.H...I agree for the most part with the other posters.<BR/>Hotels refill the used items and toss the opened ones, so why not enjoy them at home. the cost of those tiny, use only one time, samples is all wrapped up in the price of the room. Now as for the towels, pillows, showercurtains, clock radios and televisions--I don't think so!MaryLuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01674780641656484010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-6732636952326111832008-01-09T20:11:00.000-08:002008-01-09T20:11:00.000-08:00I guess I'd never even thought of taking the TP bu...I guess I'd never even thought of taking the TP but the sample soaps, coffee and such....

It's like if you are at a hospital (after having a baby) and don't take home the diapers you didn't use while there. They will toss them out. <BR/>And to the anonymous: it's not that you feel the NEED to take these items it's just Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-61790107313087309842008-01-09T13:56:00.000-08:002008-01-09T13:56:00.000-08:00Yes, yes, yes!

I enjoy using the products - it reminds me of the time away and is like a mini vacation in my own home.<BR/><BR/>As for the anonymous poster - we are going to reread the post and imagine that she was laughing when she typed her comment, and not being mean or hateful.

If you leave them, they just increase the profit margin for the hotel. This is, of course, a personal choice. <BR/><BR/>I take the shampoo and other sample sized stuff but leave the sandpaper tissues and toilet paper behind. <BR/><BR/>YMMV <BR/><BR/>SallyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7177530866163973083.post-22526268446053405402008-01-09T05:25:00.000-08:002008-01-09T05:25:00.000-08:00Okay I am all about saving money but to tell you t...Okay I am all about saving money but to tell you the truth that is just plain cheap.
