TOILET PAPER...HOW TO TELL IF IT IS A GOOD DEAL

Toilet paper seems to go fast in my house. In fact, it always has gone fast in my house. When all three girls were living at home, it felt like we ate toilet paper!

With all the different size rolls it is hard to know if you’re really getting a good deal. So here is a simple rule:

Look at the front bottom of the toilet paper package to determine the total square feet. Now insert a decimal point in this number two places to the left. If the cost of the package minus coupons is less than or equal to this figure, it’s a decent deal — basically $0.01 or less per square foot!

Example:

TP #1 = 400 sq. ft.; price = $6; stock-up price $4, so not a fabulous deal….
TP #2 = 650 sq. ft.; price = $5; stock-up price $6.50, so definitely a bargain!
