Horded Loo rolls

[DXP55]

Today I have noticed we are short on loo rolls and shopping isn't till next week so went up in loft and grabbed a hoarded pack of 32 Cushelle roll's.
These are not Covid hoarded but much earlier like at least 13 yrs ago.
This came about when we downsized to a small bungalow as I am getting older (82 now) so asked wife who was a carer what did you use the most of and she said loo rolls and Paracetamol.
So each week when we went shopping I went to Lidl and bought one of each. At that time loo roll's were £2.99 -£3.99 and I stopped buying at £4.99 --24-32 packs- I now only have 9 packs left.
Was surprised that they look brand new still - not damp or anything, The one major bonus is unlike todays loo roll's you never put your finger through by accident.
I am looking forward to the next few weeks of bum wiping.

you don't need loo rolls if you're constipated

imagine buying enough loo roll to last your lifetime.

imagine buying enough loo roll past your lifetime.

Fixed that for you.

I jest. Don't choke me to death with bog roll.

My Parents have always bulk shopped. Even now I could go to the garage at their rented home and pick up 3x24 packs of bumrag and there would still be 3-6 packs left! (FYI I'm 47 my rents are mid to lates 70's)

there's bulk shopping, and then there's bulk shopping. i think yours is the latter...

When we (myself and two brothers) were younger they would buy Half a cow, a whole sheep and a whole pig and freeze it in a mixture of cuts as it was always cheaper to buy direct from the farm/abattoir

During a trip to Costco ages ago, I remember seeing a guy pushing a trolley around with several massive packs of toilet rolls. Literally nothing else in the trolley and he was heading for the tills

Given small businesses use Costco, a lot, it could have been a work stock-up.

 

[something daft already!!]

My Mrs, like many others, had a bit of an obsession about buying them during covid. I think she had around 100 packs at one point. Thankfully they have been used over the years and have a more sensible amount now.

I really don't understand why everyone went mad for them, then. All the main supermarkets sold out and I had to get some from a smaller local shop. (we were not living together then)

Indeed.
Worst case scenario, buy some flannels. Rinse and wash them. Works for babies, why not adults?
