The Toilet Paper Principle



Toilet paper is one of those things that is a necessity. Many times I have run out and went and bought the cheapest stuff I could find for the smallest size and using a coupon here and there. I have been re-thinking my toilet paper plans though and I am trying to stock-up when I find a good deal.

So, you may ask, when do you stock up on toilet paper?

Thanks to a blog post I read recently on Deal Seeking Mom, here is a guide to help you know:

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!

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!
