The Official Toilet Paper Deals Thread V.2 (Deals for May20-May27....)

[nguyen3828]

Borrowed from InvisibleSoul thread:<INVISIBLESOUL>

Everybody needs toilet paper, but not everyone knows how to get the best deal on it. There are several factors to consider:

1.) Quality
2.) Quantity
3.) Price

I guess number of ply could be another consideration, but I think the majority use 2-ply, so that'll be the basis here.

The first thing to consider when buying toilet paper is the quality. Do you like the ultra-premium super thick and absorbent paper like Charmin, or is the standard stuff like Royale adequate? Or is the cheapest of the cheap just fine for you? Obviously the better quality paper will cost a little bit more, so you'll need to take that into consideration.

The second thing to consider is quantity. The determining factor here is NOT the number of rolls you get in the package. It is the number of sheets you get per roll. It's not sufficient to just see that it's a "single roll" or a "double roll" because there is no set standard. Some single rolls are 100 sheets, some are 150 sheets, and some are 176 sheets. So for some brands, their double roll is only 200 sheets, which is almost the same as another brand's single roll!

And of course, the thing that most people pay attention to is price. What you should do determining the value of any toilet paper deal is to find out the number of sheets you get per dollar using the following formula:

(Number Rolls x Sheets Per Roll) /Price

Quick rough reference guide:

Have fun!

Number of sheets per $1 works but I just calculate the per sheet price. Best price I ever got was last October. Charmin 12 roll pack, 308 sheets/roll, $2.97 for the package. Equals $0.00080 per sheet (1,244 sheets for $1).

i've been hearing that tp rolls are changing in size/qty of sheets. a double roll isn't what it used to be. it's so confusing, and to see tp on sale so often for roughly 50% off, it makes you wonder just how inflated the prices are.

good thread, i know it will have a huge following

now i just need to decide if the royale tp at SDM is a decent price this weekend!

[HouseholdSaver]

So happy to learn from this thread and save some great money on TP!

Happy Savings!!

Have fun!

Thank-you for your blessings....I'll do my best and try to keep up as much as I can...

This was the best TP price I've ever gotten too. It was at No Frills $2.97 - $1.25 wub any 1 Puffs, Charmin, or Bounty coupon from Brandsaver + $0.39 tax = $2.11. Based on the Math of (# of sheets 308 x 12 rolls)/$2.11, it came to 1751 sheets/$1. Too bad there was a limit of 4, I would've bought 20 .

I like this thread. I need t buy TP this weekend. Looking in the flyers it looks like the best prices are at SDM and CT, but will follow the thread and let it decide for me.

I have $10 in CT $$ so I think I will get the Royale tp $4.77-1cpn = $3.77 there this week & the Garbage bags $4.77 plus tax = $9.65

OMG!!! I never thought to use my CT money to buy toilet paper at CT! what a great idea!!!! usually so little CT money that it isn't worth taking it on a large item, but TP would be perfect

I really have to learn the lingo on this site. This comment is like Esperanto to me! I know TP is toilet paper. And I thought CT was Canadian Tire but how would you get Canadian Tire money for PMing a coffee machine that you bought at WM (Walmart??) !

I'm so confused!

[RedEng]

PM in this case is Price Matched (other cases it's Private Message) and yes WM is WalMart
