The tp I normally buy from Amazon went from $19.99 to $24.99 during the pandemic. The horror!!
Under trump 2.0, they have been over $30 on average, sometimes as high as $43.99.
Right now they're $26.99 and I literally bought 6 boxes. I've been refusing to buy over $30 and have been buying a cheaper brand until the price came down π§»
I bought two big batches of toilet paper from Costco last December. Considering it's August and I'm still in the first batch (and near the end of it), I'm happy to say my initial calculation of "a year's worth of toilet paper" is holding up!
I got sick of the price gouging so I got a bidet for $25 and a pack of 60 cotton washcloths for $30, and other than for guests and such, I just don't use TP anymore. If Iβm wiping after a bowel movement, it goes into the laundry and isn't used again until washed (sanitary cycle with bleach). So each cloth is used for a day at most.
I know that probably sets off the squick for a lot of people, but it is basically the same soil level as worn underpants (and way less gross than cloth diapers!), since the bidet takes care of the actual mess, so it just doesnβt bother me, and in the long run saves a ton. Extra bonus, I never run out!
Wait what? How many rolls are in a box? I pay 3 bucks for a pack of 3ply.
24 rolls
4 things of 6 rolls per box.
So yes I have over 150 rolls of tp on hand right now. Don't judge me!
20 dollars for 24 rolls of toilet paper is insane. Here 10 rolls are not even 4 eur. Edit: and 3ply not 2
I can pay $28 for 36 rolls of 3 ply 255 sheets per roll (quilted northern) or $27 for 45 rolls of 2 ply 473 sheets per roll (pom) at Sam's Club
Yeah I was doing something similar when my preferred butt wipes got too pricey for my chapped ass.
