Of toilet paper lastin' in your house? I'm down to my last one today and got me thinking. I'll pick up a pack and I'll date it and follow that pack.

    Do you mean a sears catalog, right?

    What do you mean a roll? do you roll it little balls?



    Those who write on chit house walls
    roll there chit in littls balls

    those who read there words of wit
    eat those balls of chit.

    Women make bogwad disappear much faster than men do, especially around the Holidays.
    Probably just a holdover from when they were teens....

    There are Different standards out there...We get the Triple Rolls, that are really oversized, and drag/resist due to interference with the Standard Roll Hangars (ca 20 Years Old) installed in our house.

    A single "TripleRoll" (In point of actual Fact, they are 2.5X the old Standard), lasts us Two (Wife and Myself) for around Four Days.

    We are retired, and spend only a few Hours a week outside the Home - No Hope of using TP supplied by others. Ya gotta figure in that time to get a good useage Estimate.

    My best guess is that Wonderful Wife uses about SIX Times the amount I do.

    We have 4 bathrooms in our house. In the bathroom I use, a roll lasts about a week. Since my daughter moved off to college a few months ago, we have yet to change out the roll in her bathroom. The utility room roll rarely gets used either as it is mainly just an overflow bathroom. And I have no idea how much my wife uses in her bathroom.

    Down to the last roll? I would never stand for that sot of lack of preparedness in my house. I always have a strategic reserve on hand of at least four rolls tucked away somewhere. I buy toilet paper in the 16 pack, triple sized roll packages. TP is the last thing I'd ever want to run out of. On that note, with my GF and our other room mate, I'd say a roll lasts about a week upstairs and two to three weeks downstairs, I'm referring to bathroom locations here.

    I bought a bunch of multi-paks about 4yrs ago ( I got a deal from work) just before moving into my current residence which amounted to 240 rolls, I have about 100 rolls left.

    I R Single and don't have guests over.

    I think I'm doing pretty good.

    How do you store 240 rolls? In a spare bedroom [:D]? I know they don't go bad but damn that's a lot.

    Say do you guys measure out sheets?

    YoshMeister: Sheets are a standard 4.5X4.5 IIRC. And yes, I measure out Three for Normal situations of need. I used to use Ten at a whack, but then got conscious of use and made an attempt to find the least I could use. Three squares does the Job Most Of The Time.

    Wife has Literally Bales of Tissue stored Upstairs - I think our Min/Max is 200/400 rolls, of the "Triple" Size. Roughly a Two-Year Reserve.

    Ain't you afraid critters will make a nest? Also how much cash is tied up on TP in that range?

    No Worries - we use the Bales to modify the Accoustics of the Great Room - we move the bales around on the Mezzanine to even out the Hot spots for Highs.

    Critters? None Here AFAIK.

    Cost? No worries, mate - they are consumables, and their (Absolute) cost is always going up. Besides, we will have a HOT Trade Item when the S Hits the Fan!!!

    I still have a bunch of those tiny packets of b-wipe that came in C-rations accessory packs. They're about the size of a book match, until you break away the brown paper band, then it unrolls the size of a parachute!

    Who the heck folds those things up that small?[:p]

    I think we all agree on this subject.
    Textured paper is the best.
    Since we are all using too much toilet paper what is the best buy?

    Texture is nice but strength is where it's at.

    In 1979 I had a Guy at my first real job (40 hours) that never bought Toilet paper. He was in his sixties and still lived on the family homestead that had no indoor plunbing. He came to work everyday an hour early to use the bathroom and shave, took a shower once a week in the locker room. He used public restroom on his days off if he could not hold it until coming to work. The city had stopped him from using the outhouse in the 1960's. He said the first he left the farm was for WWII. He refused to buy any paper produces like tissues, paper towels etc. Used hankies and rags and washed is clothes by hand. He alway had his company supplied work uniform on, I don't think he had any other clothes except his rust stain underwear from the well water! LOL

    How a roll lasts a man a month while only a week with a woman. So doing the math here two fellers a roll should last about two weeks. Now with two women roll a day? Or every other day?

    So what do you do on your days off? Go to work to take a dump [:D]? Or take some paper home with you so you can do "home work"?

    Ahhh..lots to be said about 'texture and strength'.

    I've been using Brawiny 'Pick-a-Size' paper towels for years. Think about it..

    Rip off a piece. Place one end over your grommet. Walk your fingers like a tank-tread until you reach the other end of the sheet.

    Much more mileage..much greater skid-mark. All is well!

    Gotta love ingenuity!

    And, multi-tasking! I buy one roll for both my grommet, and drying my hands! (Have I saved any money??)
