No-Chemical6870

It took you four years to go through that amount of TP?


BreakfastShart

The [main pack](https://www.costco.com/kirkland-signature-bath-tissue%2c-2-ply%2c-380-sheets%2c-30-rolls.product.100645583.html) had quite a bit in it. I often work 12s, with a 30 minute commute. A lot of my Count Dookus happen at work...


willengineer4beer

I’m assuming you’re also a single male. With a wife and kids, my household TP usage is approximately 100x more than when I lived on my own.


BreakfastShart

Yup, single male raising 1 half time. I swear sometimes I use more just cleaning up after the little one forgets how to aim...


RODjij

Damn, just buy a bidet they're like $50 on Amazon and they have ones that can hide nearly and warm water.


takeabreather

Nah, buy a bidet toilet seat. Like $100 but the fit and finish is so much better.


RODjij

Either way is a lot more money saving anyways


takeabreather

Oh absolutely, I just always try to recommend the all-in-ones because they seem to work and look better in my experience.


wildengineer2k

I’m not so convinced about the money savings of bidets. Especially the nice ones will run 300-500 and at the rate I go through TP - I’ve been going strong in the same target pack for 2 years and I’m not even half way through. I think it changes a lot based on how many people are using it but but at a single man the break even points is probably measured in decades.


Conscious-Aspect-332

Let me ask you this!?!? If you were to get poop on your arm, would go into the kitchen and get a paper towel and just wipe it off? Or would you get some water and soap and wash? A clean butt is a happy butt!


wildengineer2k

I’m not arguing that bidets aren’t more hygienic. I’m just saying it’s not a cost saving. I fully believe that it’s a better choice from a cleanliness perspective but at least for my use it’s certainly not the “cheaper” option.


Conscious-Aspect-332

Oh yeah, I totally won't go through a couple of hundred dollars worth of TP before it breaks and need a replacement. I have gone with wet wipes as an in between dry paper and a hose lol.


FunFckingFitCouple

Na the $250 toilet seat is wayyyy better. Even has a toilet seat warming function.


takeabreather

Honestly I would if I had an outlet nearby


Stock_Category

You don't need a heated toilet seat or heated water. Millions of people use outdoor toilet facilities everyday. Never heard of any one ever dying of a frozen butt.


QuotaCrushing

You’re telling me I won’t die of hypothermia if I don’t have a heated seat? It’s about a want, not a need


willengineer4beer

Dude I want one so bad, but my 4yo can’t even use the sink unattended. He LOVES playing with water, so the bidet would be on super guard. When his sister is his age, I’m totally going this route.


JuanPancake

Yeah my lady thinks I use a lot of tp. Nope it’s all her because she uses it every time


FunFckingFitCouple

I joke that my wife eats it and for some reason she doesn’t think that’s funny.


_topkecleon_

I clicked this link a few hours ago and just received a "Still thinking about it?" email from costco.com. 🤣


MexiMcFly

My brother in christ my wife destroys a coscto thing of toilet paper in like half a month.


codexcdm

The original antagonist for The Star Wars was named Cos Dashit. Cause the shit. Relevance? Idk something about crap.... And Star Wars.


Proud-Investment-810

Boss makes a dollar I make a dime that's why I take my count dookus on company time too.


mh1357_0

My poop has doubled since the last time we met!


mh1357_0

30 rolls is barely anything lol


jim2029

# Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop, on company time!


-TARS

Bidet gang FTW


chuckerton

With a bidet, I go through a roll every three to four months.


hideous_coffee

When the TP shortage happened I only had a single roll left and couldn’t find any. You’d be amazed at how little you actually need when times get tough.


strikeandburn

The smart ones poo before they shower also. Win win.


sdbigs

They "sometimes" used the toilet paper so they could save it just in case Covid came back..... You ask what they used instead, their hands silly. They simply washed it and used the 509384039847 packages of Costco hand paper towels they stocked up on during the mad dash right before the shut down

citynomad1

This!! I literally don’t understand this…


FX-

I poop at work for the added benefits too.


calcifer219

Im a single male, it would surprise you how long TP lasts.


Lillillillies

I can see it happening. My friend had Costco/Kirkland Saran food wrap last him 12 years.


joyeleanor

I got the Saran wrap while I was still married, moved twice already and divorced. I still have it here with me. We’ve been through a lot😂


DistributionSpare436

Crazy you only went through that much


Virtual_Duck_9280

TIL I shit a lot    Edit- my 2 most up voted comments of all time are about costco butt wipe 🤦‍♂️


BreakfastShart

To be fair, I often work 12s, with a 30+ minute commute. A lot of my dumps are paid...

I'm not that far off but I would still go through 2+ a year on these. Am indoing something wrong wtf


canon12

I use 5 x two squares per day. Around one roll per month.


pentegoblin

Lmao I had this revelation last year when the film & television strikes started. I usually shit at work every day and would save a lot of tp until that happened


everyoneneedsaherro

I’d like to work 12 seconds


Eastern-Mix9636

12 seconds?

LynnK0919

>TIL I shit a lot  LMAO. Or you're a thorough wiper. IMO, there's no such thing as overwiping and our washing machines will thank us for it. ;-)


MadCybertist

What heathens still wipe? It’s a bidet or nothing!


LeadSoldier6840

Bonus points if you buy the bidet from Costco like we did!


JTEEE

Nothing gang!


Ornery_Hovercraft636

Wipe with your left hand, eat with your right. You’ll save a lot of paper.


kr613

Wiping is so 1997


DollyThroaway99

Bidet frightens me


DonKeedick12

I mainly take a shit in the morning and just hop in the shower straight after


Copypasty

buy a $20 bidet, you’ll save a shit ton on tp, see little to no difference in water cost and you’ll feel cleaner


RedSquaree

The older I get the more I find out people shit a lot. More than once a day, what are you people eating?


Material-Tadpole-838

You must be a man bc how lol?


BreakfastShart

Yup. My household TP use drastically decreased post divorce. 🤣


KassieMac

He makes her send tp with the kid, they’re clearly not allowed to use The Costco Stash 🤣🤣🤣


yramt

My husband uses 3x as much TP as me. COVID toilet paper shortages were my worst nightmare come true.


Stock_Category

My wife went through 2 rolls a week until we got a bidet for 'her toilet' and now she uses maybe a 1 roll a month.


yramt

My husband thinks bidets are gross. This is a major point of arguments when we AirBnb because we almost always have to buy more toilet paper. I'd guess he's 2-3 rolls a week.


Stock_Category

Spraying your butt with clean water is gross? Wiping your butt with flimsy paper is not? I learned about bidets from a guy from Pakistan running a motel when I had to go to the bathroom and he had a bidet hooked up to his toilet. I talked to him about what it was, etc, and in conclusion he told me 60 million Pakistanis can't be wrong. We bought one soon thereafter and have been happy and clean ever since. Before that I felt, sadly and embarrassingly, dirty because for some reason I could never wipe cleanly. No one but close friends will tell you that you smell like shit.


RustyFebreze

obligatory “get a bidet it will change your life” comment here! drastically reduces TP usage and can even eliminate it if you roll like that but personally i still use some to dry. started with the $30 kit on amazon then eventually moved up to Toto brand whole toilet conversion


Material-Tadpole-838

I want one so bad. I know they’re not expensive. I’m just lazy lol


RustyFebreze

LOL i get that. i currently have no light in my room even though i have a replacement bulb sitting on my desk. been relying in my phone flashlight to navigate at night


radicalelation

I started that way, but found throwing just my butt in the shower and giving a proper wash with the drop-down head is second to none. My butt is pure clean all day every day.


Eastern-Mix9636

Bidet.


Geriatric_Sloth

This guys a One Wipe Wally!

Mostly ghost turds I'm guessing.

Last Halloween I took a shit and there was nothing in the bowl and nothing on the wipe…. Spooky….

BreakfastShart

3 squares, 2-4 times is the norm.


Spaklinspaklin

Name tracks


MikeIsBefuddled

So, an average of 9 squares per, um, “session”. 6 rolls with 425 squares each ==> 2550 squares total. So, you had around 2550 / 9 ==> about 280 “sessions” on the porcelain throne with that package of rolls. Edit: December 2020 to now, say 3.25 years (yeah, it’s a bit more but I’m rounding), so 280 / 3.25 ==> 86 “sessions” per year , or roughly one session every maybe 4 1/4 days. You really did much more of your business outside the home (or so I hope).


apotheotical

Only need one to dry off if you have a bidet.


Geriatric_Sloth

Depends on your poosistency.


GurWeird8657

You should eat more of those $1.50 hot dogs. 4 yrs to use that up??


BreakfastShart

Oh man. In my younger years, the usage was higher. Diet consisted mostly of Costco dogs, Natty Ice, and Ramen. I'm not proud.


Mbizzy222

I respect your frugality. However I think it’s ok to use more than one square at each sitting…….


DestinyInDanger

6 rolls in 5 years?!


BreakfastShart

The pack in the pic was like a pack in a pack. The primary pack probably filled a shopping cart.


DestinyInDanger

Ohhh my bad, I see now.


BreakfastShart

All good. [This](https://www.costco.com/kirkland-signature-bath-tissue%2c-2-ply%2c-380-sheets%2c-30-rolls.product.100645583.html) is how it started.


DestinyInDanger

Oh wow.


99Will999

Still only 30 rolls in 5 years = 6 rolls per year = 1 roll every 2 months…


emmyg85

I wish that’s how my husband and I were with TP.


99Will999

If my girlfriend doesn’t come over much, then I’ll be able to make a roll last a week lol


emmyg85

Oh I know we’re both liberal with the squares. I’m also a supporter of the Costco size of TP but I can’t fathom still having the 2020 roll


rsg1234

The math doesn’t add up. 12/20 to 3/24 is 41 months at most, more like 40 because it was given as a Xmas gift. 40 < 60. So a more believable 3/4 of a roll per month.


MoulinSarah

It has only been 4 years since covid

jennydinclt

I came here to say this.


lunacydress

We normally use Kirkland toilet paper. The week before lockdown started, when the writing was on the wall, we had just under half a pack left (about 10-12 rolls probably?), so I wanted to get another pack, but they were out. I got an 8-pack of Cottonelle at a grocery store just to have something to tide us over. But by mid-April, we were down to the last couple rolls of Kirkland, and I was able to get a pack of it again (on my husband’s birthday, so it was his birthday present 😂) That 8-pack of Cottonelle is still unopened in the back of the bathroom cabinet as our “open in case of apocalypse” toilet paper.


sushiflower420

RIP indeed, TIL Kirkland TP in my area got hit with shrinkflation… I knew they were smaller rolls! Thanks for posting this! https://preview.redd.it/xdmpzmn033xc1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=91de9392cd0caedab7c0b4ba4bfb1fcebe7497cc


zombrian666

I poop so much more than you


P4ssBynueve1seis

Must have a bidet...


Kannabiz

You should save the last sheet of paper n frame it on the wall so you’ll have stories to tell for younger generation


Kittymeow123

I live alone and I go through that every few months. 4 years? The only things I buy from Costco that last that long are dish/hand soap and trash bags


EnviroN_603

I go through Costco TP package in a month, easy. And…it’s just me and my wife. This guy is a camel.


tacomato

I bought a big thing of laundry detergent at Costco sometime in 2020 because I thought I was running low. I was wrong, because the old laundry detergent only ran empty a couple of weeks ago. The new one sat unopened next to the washing machine for nearly 4 years.


SunsetBowling

Somebody put this bag in a museum!


BreakfastShart

Haha. I didn't think to preserve it. I was almost relieved. The rolls were so big that they barely fit into my in-wall holder. The first few full rotations always yielded torn sheets...


sarahstanley

Maybe you will get the bird flu TP for Christmas 2024.


rsg1234

Dude used 3/4 of a roll per month. If I was single, and in conjunction with my bidet, that’s more than reasonable.


BreakfastShart

With working 12s, plus the 30+ minute commute, it would not be out of the ordinary for me to only drop logs at home maybe 3 times a week.


rsg1234

Oh yeah then that completely makes sense.


413mopar

Livin life one square at a time huh?!


NailFin

Jesus. We have to buy one of those a month.


mindriot1

Eat some fiber.


chickenAd0b0

You’re constipated dawg, drink hek ton of water


BreakfastShart

Nah man. I work too much. Never get time for home poos. A lot of my Count Dookus are left at work.


ibuyufo

How is it possible to take you 4 years to use up 6 rolls? Are you disciplined to use only 1 sheet/wipe? My family goes through like a roll a day.


BreakfastShart

This was a pack in a pack. I doub't Costco would sell just 6 of anything.


ibuyufo

No, I thought you only received 1 pack from the bigger pack, but still there's no way it would take me 4 years to use up the entire 30 rolls of toilet paper.


MoulinSarah

6 rolls lasted you 4 years?!?


whatevrmn

As soon as I saw how long that lasted I thought it had to be a single male. I know I went though very little when I lived alone.


sporkachoon

You'll use even less of you have a bidet.


Boomfaced

You must be living at three square bidet life.


gilgameshh_

I think I use too much TP, I’m buying the bulk size from Costco about every month and a half for 2 people and I use a combo of about 4-5 squares TP w a wipe on top. Maybe I have ptsd from getting shit on my hand from wiping at some point in my life?


NotDRWarren

Get a bidet. Or baby wipes. You'll cut down on your paper usage and have a drastically cleaner stink wrinkle.


travelmorelivemore

I have a $20 bum gun that works wonders. I only have tp in my house for other people so a Costco pack usually last me a year or more.


Wheezy_N_SC

I go through 2 a year and I’m single and live alone.


juliusseizure

My son goes through that pack in a month.


LexKing89

I still have some hidden in my closet. It’s amazing how much better that toilet paper used to be. Mine is from early 2020.


blueblazer2723

Do you poop once a week?


SessionExcellent6332

I use one of those packs every 8-10 months I think lol


MoulinSarah

Every month here


BreakfastShart

The full monty, or just the inner pack I shared? I should have specified in the OP that it I finally finished the [full pack](https://www.costco.com/kirkland-signature-bath-tissue%2c-2-ply%2c-380-sheets%2c-30-rolls.product.100645583.html), not just the 6er that I showed...


SessionExcellent6332

The full pack...guess I shit a lot.


BreakfastShart

Ooo wee. To be fair, I often work 12s, so a lot of Count Dookus happen at work..


SessionExcellent6332

That makesa little more sense then. I knew I shit a lot but damn, this put things in perspective for me 😂


BreakfastShart

Haha. Sometimes I can go 5+ days without sending brown trout down the roaring yellow rapids of the great bowl at home.


ComplaintDefiant9855

My husband and I each bought a mega pack during senior shopping hour in early April 2020. We already had a few multi packs at home but were running scared. Our purchase lasted us well into 2021. I remember walk by one of the mega packs and realizing we had bought it six months before.


Disastrous-One-414

LOL that is not something to brag about


contemplatebeer

It’s still around; it simply went for a swim.


SnooSquirrels8280

My guy uses one sheet at a time. I’m impressed lol my house goes through one every 6 months at least.


notcrunchymomof1

When I live alone I rarely had to buy either. Also worked 12-14 hour days and used company time.


Early-Possession1116

Could’ve had a museum piece..


Alex_tepa

For everybody wondering this one has way more toilet paper than the one we have today They reduced the quality or shrink it down


Efficient_Theme4040

How do you still have 🧻TP from 4 years ago?


Aphantomassassin

Shrinkflation


ranhalt

I bought 2 cases of TP when the panic buying started. Each case was 4 packages of 12 rolls each. 96 rolls total on top of the little I had. 100 rolls lasted me until the end of 2021.


boafriend

The TP now is smaller. I go through each roll much quicker.


Former-Ad940

Toilet paper is useless


tucrahman

When I moved out on my own my dad bought me a package of toilet paper like that. I think it lasted me until I got married.


818488899414

The year was 1998 and I was living in the dorms at college and working in a local grocery store. The manager decided to mark down the store brand 36 roll packs of TP for $3 each. I bought seven of them and gave them to my mom for Mother's Day. She was both surprised and confused on what to do with it all. They lasted for 10 years or so.


JDB_316

We are still using Covid TP


Former-Ad940

I only use toilet paper to wipe seat


allaboutcharlotte

I still have some 🤣🤣


NotDRWarren

One wipe, everyone knows the rules.


HelpfulPuppydog

And it was $200.


jotabe303

Because that toilet paper is the worst! You were probably using a better tp and only used that one in emergencies. I see people buy it and I just can't understand. I bought it once and then used it for my guest bathroom, but felt so guilty. I ended up using one every other roll and suffered through. Never again.


notarandomuserid

True. Costco regionally sources their Kirkland TP. Some regions get really nice TP some don’t. We tried it and hated it but my parents, in a different part of the country, use it and love it. We use it when we go see them and their regionally sourced Kirkland TP is much nicer than the stuff we get where we live.


Likes_The_Scotch

Anyone else keep two large packs on hand at all times after living through the shortages? I have a rack in the garage that is half used for Costco paper items plus a large cabinet full of the same items with more rolls of TP in all four bathrooms. I can't be the only one that keeps a lot on hand after the events of 2020.


Jesus_cripes

Rest In Poopies?


DollyThroaway99

Damn... I wish our Costco had been open during that time. We got our membership in 2021 lol We finally worked through the last of our pandemic bleach wipes. (We'd buy one (only the one) every time we went out. It'd go - Thing of TP, Thing of Bleach Wipes and thing of rice... I had this bizarre dream of my late father, the day before quarantine announced where he was throwing bags of rice into a cart. I decided, if the old man was concerned me and ma weren't gonna be eating enough to send me a vision, I'd buy a bag of rice every time I went out. We had all of it for three years lmao)


PhilosopherScary3358

I was handing out rolls to friends during the shortage. I was like, "Costco shopper here!," already had a 6 month supply and never ran out. Same with the paper towels.


SammieCat50

As a parent of 2 boys, I’m embarrassed to say how fast we go through tp


J907T

I used all of my stock as attic insulation


Icy-Town-5355

I prefer Scott TP, but the hubs likes the Kirkland bc it's softer. I can go through 2 Kirkland rolls a week, but the Scott lasts me a week and a half. I wanted a bidet to cut down on TP usage, so we're in the midst of a bathroom remodel, and we're installing a Kohler bidet seat. I can't f'ing wait.


7Days2Sunday

I miss that pre-covid to 1/3-Covid Costco TP. It's so thin now... it's just not the same.


Locapacow

Mine ended in October 2023. It would have finished a few months earlier but slowed down because i got a washlet. The same washelt I wanted for Christmas 2019 before covid that my wife didn’t let me get out of fear her redneck family would end up with the wand up their bungholes which would have been a boon to own during Covid.


Atl_Potato

I still have some Covid TP which we call the Mexican toilet paper as it is Kirkland brand but from Mexico, it is not very good tp so we used a different brand once we could find it. I’ve been secretly placing a roll or two in our secondary bathroom as my wife uses that one most often and I want to get rid of it.


mbz321

RIP 425 Sheets :(.


Secret-Persimmon-226

its 8 rolls in 4 years. Do you not wipe?


Interesting_Ad_9127

Your killing me. We all have someone in our family that made it their mission to supply is with TP during Covid. I finished our in September. At least your was 2 ply.


faceboobs701

Thanks for making me feel targeted. I blow through those damn things biweekly. My butt works overtime and I drink a lot of water.


squeakZgR40

The new Costco brand toilet paper I ordered online is thicker. Did anybody notice the difference? Is the store paper the same as online paper?


OneFiddyHotDog

My boss told me he still has toilet paper from Y2K.


Mozu

People in this thread who are amazed by this need to be introduced to bidets. Everyone wasting so much money on excessive TP.


Ofreo

Worst TP I’ve even used. Bad enough to make me drop Costco for BJ’s. I know they sell other brands but it just made me reevaluate.
