1160

Edit - cheaper at Officeworks (thanks GG57). Edit: No stock (temporarily out of stock at the payment screen in checkout).

$42 at Bunnings


Basically one year's toilet paper for $35.64 (or $42 at Bunnings). Beats any deals that Amazon can come up with if you are willing to accept the paper being one ply less.

Summarising what's in this article -

  • one person uses 57 sheets of toilet paper per day.
  • one jumbo roll (300m) would last 46 days for one person.
  • eight jumbo rolls (2400m) would last 368 days for one person.

Using maths -

  • 1.4 cents per metre
  • Assuming 10 sheets/metre then it'll be 14 cents per 100 sheets.

Supplied in cartons of 8 rolls of 300m each
• 2-Ply soft jumbo toilet tissue
• Quick and easy to refill
• FSC certified
• White in colour

Scott Essential Jumbo Toilet Tissue Roll delivers quality with superior softness, strength, absorbency and comfort.

      Holy crap. This roll is giving me the sheets.

      • Pretty sure it's one continuous length.

        • -1

          Not pretty sure it’s one Coronavirus length?

        • +2

          From the very first time I encountered one of these in a commercial facility, I wanted my own.

          Whether you're a scruncher or a folder, these things are endless fun. Put a dispenser up at your home today so that you can improve your skillz and survive longer in the post sars-cov-2 world.

          What can be better than hoarding industrial tissue. Just like the ones used at shopping centres to reduce the cost of toilet paper from .001 sheet per footfall to .0001 sheet per footfall.

          Yes, install your own dispenser today! Just like a Algorythmic Trader, you too can save with every movement! Never before has any product had so many, practical, cost saving features:

          A big locked plastic box on the wall with an opening that's hard to get to, that you have to reach up inside to hopefully find a dangling piece of narrow paper. Due to the location, you can barely articulate your fingers inside the opening, but you persist to poke them higher, hoping not to find spiders and roaches, used bubblegum, frangas, to persuade the weighty 300m long roll to turn and allow you to tear a piece large enough for use, but which inevitably delaminates, breaks and in a million other ways just shrivels into shredded strips. You persist, and gradually you can glean something wide enough to cover one finger, or if you're lucky, two. By the time you fold it into a pad long enough to lose permanently up your backside, you find it actually dissolves on contact. Like a crazed addict, temporarily oblivious to your putrid, contaminated hands, you keep fumbling inside the opening for more. Alas, each piece comes out smaller than the last, and you end up with mess all over the dispenser, the seat, your clothes, even your shoes. The next person in will think the last person was fresh out of an asylum. Paper is everywhere, but at the price of this super-narrow, ultra flimsy, unperforated tissue, you can use 10x more and the facilities owner will still be saving money.

          On the plus side, those who are beginning to resort to Tally-Ho wrappers will be able to improve their lot. And the level of hand-washing MAY increase

  • +1

    I've been using a bodna for decades (as have most people in the Indian sub-continent). They're hard to find in Australia but a small watering can does the trick too.

    • -6

      You must be really old school. Do you also go to the paddock with your 'lotta' in the morning? In any case, I'm never shaking hands with you!

      • +10

        Why is this old school? Water is still used in many parts of the world including outside of the Indian sub-continent. What the mode for delivery is, doesnt matter. Besides, water is more hygienic compared to TP. Plenty of OzB deals on Whale Spout also show the interest in other groups.

        • Don't get me wrong I am fully supportive of using bidets and as a matter of fact I have bidets installed in my house but xyron's method of using a 'water can' alludes to using water and the other hand to rub it off - nowhere close to hygiene!

          • +3

            @batrarobin: I am not sure using a bidet without hands will leave you completely clean but each to their own, I suppose. With regards to touching poo, have a baby and you wont find it gross any more :) (or, even if you do, its going to get on your hands)

            • +8

              @rdhupar: I have a baby and still find it gross. Very rarely have I touched poo, it's not that difficult a skill to learn when changing nappies.

          • @batrarobin: Are you morons seriously assuming that using a bodna somehow precludes you from washing your hands with soap afterwards? Do you not wash your hands with soap after using toilet paper? Some of you really must have some misfiring neurones.

        • +3

          I use an old water bottle to make my toilet paper sodden then use it to wipe. Much better than dry TP. I use normal TP at the end to dry. I’m not, completely across the no TP method but I would be concerned about cleaning the fingernails.

      • +8

        If someone wiped a piece of shit on to the palm of your hand, would you be happy to just wipe it off with some dry toilet paper? If so, I don't want to shake your hand either. If you don't, why is it different for your butthole?

        • +1

          Unless you're putting your finger in batrarobin's backside, that's not valid.

          • @justtoreply: How? It's a part of your body like anything else. If your hands should be clean, so should the rest of your body.

            • +13

              @xyron: My assh*le doesn't touch my food, shared items, and other people.

          If someone wiped a piece of shit on to the palm of your hand …

          How about baths then? If you think about it you are bathing in arse soup.

          • +4

            @Diji1: You should always shower before a bath if you don't want diluted manure spread all over. But some people aren't that fussed…

          • @Diji1: .. bottle, sell and make a profit.

          Then fold back and use the other side.

          What kind of poop do you do??

        • If you are not doing this, then there is something seriously wrong with you.

        • +1

          I don't think I would ever only use 2 squares, that sounds insane. Maybe I need to look at my diet, if there are any ideas I'm all ears.

          Is that why rice is also hard to come by?

          • @TEER3X: I use 2. Shit every 2-3 days. Carnivore diet.

                @georgedn: WTF is IME?

                I use about 6 to 8 squares in total. Funny seeing all these idiots carting 100s of rolls out of the supermarkets. I couldn't imagine using that much in my lifetime.

                • @ChickenTalon:

                  6 to 8 squares in total.

                  Yep it's really all that's needed. I've done this with 1 ply with no problems. No mess and no wasting TP. Not on any special diet.

      • -4

        as much as I laughed at this, that is a waste of TP especially in this climate

        edit: thanks for the downvotes. But seriously the shelves are bare, people struggling to find TP and you asshats are shoveling 57 sheets up your cracks

      since I use 3 ply quilton

      I'm a 3 3 2, twice a day so that's 8

      Then there's work dodgy ass shit so people don't steal, they've upped it from the 'public version 1 ply sandpaper to 2 ply decent recently
      So I'm 4 4 3 now at work

      The guys using 30+ per hit are probably the weirdos that block the toilet. Note blocking toilets is generally a yanky trope as their toilets/plumbing suck ass, blocking toilets should never happen in Australia.

      • There's some dude in my office who regularly blocks the toilet. He uses way too much tp (I've been in there around the same time) and then way too many paper towels for dying his hands.

        I feel sorry for the plumbers who would deal with it at least once every two weeks for a while there.

    Pretty soon we'll be having people using toilet paper as a sign of wealth. It'll start with people using toilet paper for nose rings and earrings, then making it rain toilet paper in strip clubs, sliding a sheet down the g-string of a stripper, using a burning toilet paper roll to light a cigar, ending with necklaces and wedding rings. I await Mr T to make the first move.
