The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Actually 10.15%

I should have bought toilet paper last year rather than mutual funds.

Another brand that I used to buy has appreciated a whopping 13.61%.

I'm shoring up my TP reserves.

A no-lose deal!

A toilet paper thread.

Its like Ponce is back.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

It's part for the humor of it, and yet I think that it has more merit than another thread launched recently dedicated to sharing videos about people eating cockroaches.

At least almost all of us use toilet paper. I think most would sooner die than resort to eating roaches.

Who's Ponce?

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Ponce is a past member who coined the phrase: "If you don't hold it, you don't own it."

Butt ribbon is nice, but in a pinch, the Sears catalog works well....

Costco's price on their toilet paper went up in the last 6-8 months by like 3-4 bucks.

The last time I went and indebted myself I paid 17.99 for a 36 roll pack.

TYPO I paid 80.00 for 4 of the 36 roll packs.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

What??? One 36 roll pack?

My 48-roll packs of basic 500 sheet 2-ply now run me $40.79. I guess I have nothing to complain about.

Are you sure that number is correct? What brand is that?

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Costco brand or Kirkland actually.

I'm sorry but I'm a tight wad i'm not use to paying this mind of Phony green for the stuff.

Like ammo, I have it stacked wide and deep :biggrin:

Alternative to TP is baby wipes.

Believe it or not, but the owner of our company insisted on an in-service during our safety meetings, on the proper use of toliet paper. Some of the Mexican employees thought that they should throw their used TP on the floor, instead of flushing it. We even put wastebaskets in the stalls, didn't help much.

It's simple demand. The amount of crap that needs to be wiped away these days is astounding.

What is the best way to store ammo

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

I keep it on a shelf with no special attention.

I was worried about humidity,will practice FIFO (first in,first out )

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

No way. I just bought a 36 roll pack at Costco and it was nowhere near $80. More like $18.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

I'm with Conk. I will however support the notion that TP usage has at least gone up 10% over the past year. Peak TP is right around the corner.

I'm currently working with an alternative-TP resource group. We've tried lots of things and had a brilliant breakthrough but the guy with all the specs apparently commited suicide. We haven't been able to locate any of his papers and the whole project is going down the toilet.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Sorry I erred it was nearly 80 for 4 36 roll packs.

I was looking at the total on the receipt and not the individual item price.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

You have to decide if you have water to clean rags or TP for my bunghole. I am a big fan of TP, and don't have so much water to clean rags.

This is demand pull inflation. The government is dishing out so much MOPE crap these days, there just isn't enough TP to go around. Those in stocks can take this as a sign... ear plug futures are about to snap back into an upward trend.

Disclosure: Heavily invested in TP, minor ear plug holdings, all physical.

Thats it!

I am saving all my corn cobbs!

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

By whatever percentage they raise the price of toilet paper is the exact same percentage by which I will cut back on wiping. Who\'s with me?

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Yes, the price may be higher...but, do you find you now
can take more SHEETS with every roll?

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

The Sears Catalog was a standard item in outhouses in the '40's, especially farm families. No big deal, my Dad said - we have talked about this type of lifestyle often. They didn't think they were "poor".

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Everyone has the right to free toilet paper ! Lets get socialized asswipes for everyone !

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

What are you talking about - we already have Socialist asswipes... ooops, never mind, I misread that:bear_happy:

Sawmills around the country and shutting down, cutting shifts, and cutting hours. This means fewer woodchips on the market.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

i love a good toilet paper conversation.

i used to always wait till they were on sale at the rate of 25 cents a roll, double ply. that was maybe 4 years ago.

now my 'price target' is 50 cents a roll, i give up trying to find a lower price.

i did find 1000 sheets of single ply recycled for about 33 cents a roll.

and the cheapest toilet paper of all - a Safeway checker told me this - is you take pages out of old books and use that paper. he said that was the method he was raised with.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Hah! -

Ahead of you all.

My patent for washable toilet paper

Is riding on straight rails.

Additionally, I am developing a washer and dryer for same.

It is soooooooo simple.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

And is this going to be a man operated bidet when the power goes out.

I can see it now, darlin' I have to take a humpty dumpty , get the straw and Bidet my donkey!

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

That's why you put the cistern on the roof instead of in the basement, sunshine.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Oh, I get it, Honey, I have to go pooh, please get on the roof and pump water out of the cistern so my donkey can smell peachy!

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Why should I care if the rich are subsidizing my TP? Remember what JFK said about this.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

So you don't have gravity in your neck of the woods? You have to pump water down hill? Interesting. See, we put things like cisterns on roofs so that they can fill up with rain water, interrupting the rain on it's trip from cloud to ground. Then, when you do things like flush, or shower, gravity (y'know, that thing that makes the rain fall outta the clouds) pulls down on the water in the cistern, pulls it down through these things called pipes .. all the way to where I want it. Then I let the water go into more pipes so that it can complete it's journey down to ground level. Actually, it even gets to go a bit lower than that, as a bit of a thanks for having delayed it's trip, y'know.

Re: The price of my toilet paper has inflated 10% in a year!
 

Who's Ponce...

This is truth...

In more ways than one...

We'll all be cleaning in whatever way we can...

Corn cobbs work...

If you have spare corn cobbs...

:emotions16:Lots of em...


I remember an old story about the arabs in the desert, with no spare leaves hanging around, and no toilet paper or spare water.

They used one hand for intake, and the other hand for outflow cleaning.

Survival is about understanding the importance of both intake and exhaust.

BTW, Here is a cartoon that I like...
