After I had a nice chuckle at this I went and measured my Kirkland TP and found it to also be 4 1/2" wide. My daughter loves the Charmin though!
I buy the Impressions Vanity Fair dinner napkins in bulk at Costco although the brand is of course available elsewhere. Costco is my one stop shop for paper products. My cleaning lady loves their 52 pack cotton towels so I buy them there as well.
My most unusual Costco story is about 20 years ago I found a huge selection of beautiful large tapestries produced traditionally on looms in Belgium for unexpectedly low prices when I walked into a Costco. I was hemming and hawing for probably an hour when a couple approached me. The man told me they had lived in Europe for several years and had purchased a few tapestries while they were there. They told me these were the real thing priced at a fraction of what they had paid and that if I wanted one I better act - so I bought two and absolutely love them. When I went back to the store a few days later they were sold out. I also bought the highest quality ping pong table I had ever seen at a Costco...I could go on...
