Good to know. Thank you.

Costco for us
There are countries that use tp but don’t flush it. They put it in the trash.

I like Walmart's "strong and soft" generic store brand, you can buy a double-sized 9-pack for a reasonable price.

Hubby prefers what I like to call sandpaper - thin and scritchy. So I get that at Staple's, they also have their own brand, there's like 20 double-rolls for under $20 when it's on sale, and for most men - that's almost a year's worth.

I had a full new package of them plus around half a package when we moved down, so we didn't even come CLOSE to running low during the pandemic when you couldn't get any TP from any store or online anywhere at any price.

Thank you! I for one think this is a serious subject albeit odd to raise in a public forum. Admit I did like the humorous responses however

A wise person once told me never shortchange yourself on toilet paper. Find other ways to save.

A Business Owner’s Profit is what is all about. If you sell thin TP, just jack up the prices on hand soap!

Shortly after that, the toilets started getting clogged up with rocks wrapped in toilet paper.

Kohbar Towers in SA was built for the Bedoins but they refused to live there. Beautiful multi level buildings with hardwood floors. Left vacant until it was offered to billet the US military during the first Gulf War. Toilet plumbing wouldn’t accept t.p. So used T.p. Was placed in trash bags. Yes over there the locals did use their left hands and a water rinse to clean their bums

They put plumbing in Kohbar eventually. We got to stay there for R and R to Bahrain time. Then some idiot blew it up.

I don't trust anyone that buys toilet paper in bulk quantities, then goes public with the quality. Just don't seem raht, Bubba . . .

LonnyP 03-21-2023 06:34 AM

Can the next study be which one leaves the fewest dingleberries?
