    If you can fit it on your roll holder why wouldn’t you? That’s just good sense right there

      Get the double length loo roll. Because of maths, it’s not twice as wide even if it’s twice as long, but you have to change the loo roll half as often. You will not regret this transition.

    I was hella poor in college, and constantly using Taco Bell napkins and such for toilet paper. One day at school I found one of these rolls that was left on the counter in the bathroom. I immediately put that shit in my backpack and took it home. It felt like I had won the lottery! No need to worry about toilet paper for like 6 months!

    I still have 2 rolls of that stuff from back when there was no TP in the store and it was all I could find. Never did end up using them, but I guess I’m set if it happens again!

    Someone’s university has CH-751 locks on their toilet roll dispensers, and is missing a roll…

      It sure ain’t my university. Nobody wants to steal sandpaper so thin it rips before you even look at it

      This is the lock picking lawyer and what I have for you today really wipes out the competition.

        Your local janitorial supply is better than Amazon.

        Honestly every household should have an account at one, everything there is practical and works well unlike most modern consumer products. Dirt cheap too.

        Stuff like broom and dustpan, mop and bucket, spray bottles, squeegees, concentrated cleaning products, paper towel… Buy commercial grade, buy it for life.

            As a corollary, look for restaurant supply places to get utensils and whatnot, it’s usually cheaper and you’ll get more durable stuff. A lot of them don’t require memberships either.

            Business owners generally buy from business-supply places and not regular retail stores. So if a smaller business could conceivably want to buy something, there’s probably a business-supply place that sells it nearby. You may pay a bit more for durable things, but it’s often actually cheaper and they don’t cycle things out as quickly (businesses will inevitably need to buy more, and they want them to match).

        We Canadians are still mad at Sam’s club. I bought a yearly membership and a month later they shut down and refused to refund anyone. We’re also mad we lost the Disney store, that place was legit a great place to find deals and stuff for the kids easily.

          The Disney store is a grift IMO. Target also carries Disney crap, so if I really need it, there’s usually a sale or something that I can take advantage of at some point before a birthday or something.

            We don’t have target in Canada either. But I would always find crazy sales on clothes for the kids and even collectibles, like star wars stuff at the Disney store. They used to mark down stuff a lot cause they had to cycle in new products often. I heard they intended Canadians to just order stuff online, but the shipping costs are absurd.

          They must be bored as hell in Nunavut

            You’re one of those people that wakes up and just wants to be an asshole to everyone huh?

            Having seen your comment history, you’re just a pedantic fuck. Bet people love you at parties.

              If a joke that slight makes you super mad, you probably shouldn’t be on the internet bro.

              Tissue paper in a wind tunnel.

              It’s really not that serious.
