TP for my family!


Okay, toilet paper! My goodness, we go through a lot of it. There are of course four of us that use it but we're going through a roll a day if not more. It's really crazy! What's your TP situation? Do you have rules and regulations? Do I need to readjust my budget to compensate? Let me know your toilet paper ways.

I am the tp waster in our house! I can go through a roll a day easy but only because I use a ton of it everytime I go. And keep in mind I am peeing more frequently now too. We had this same conversation with Ruth and Mark the other day. Demonstrations and all! You had to be there or maybe not...haha!

If it was up to my husband there'd be rules, but I control this situation.
When we travelled thru Europe I was allotted one square per pee (he'd hand it to me) and 3 for the other! We were on a limited budget so we had to watch every area of our money.
So needless to say when we got married and had our own house, I feel liberated enough to do as I please and use as much as I want!

hey sirena...
I have honestly never thought about how much toilet paper that we use... I just buy the really cheap kind for like $4 for a 24 pack so for the amount that we use it doesn't really matter too much at that cost :-) (if I paid more for TP then I would probably have thought about it before but I am too cheap to pay very much for something that is just going to be flushed down the toilet anyways)

LOL LOL (more laughing) regulations?? LOL I think maybe the re-budget might be in order....sry for all the laughing..its just my fam also goes through a lot of t-paper...but how do regulate this...(lol) might have to follow "people" in ..."only three squares..you know the rules!!!" LOL I don't think that would go very well...even if your kids are small...just imagine when company comes over ...cant you see the kids ask, "did you use more than three squares?" LOL!! Sry again, it just struck me so funny!!! keep blogging love it...

Okay, here is my 2 cents. I can't stand toilet paper consumption issues. Adam is the waster in our family as he uses too much and then uses it for his ears and nose, but not just a couple squares, a whole whack of it. Man it is annoying. Anyways, I got one of those Charmin potty training packs for Joel, comes free online. With it was a thing to hang on the wall. It is a paper that goes about the length of 4-5 squares and it is to help children know how much to use... you know how kids are and we don't really want clogged toilets. Soooo... I feel it is about perfect for the kids and they always get mad at me if I use any more than that but sometimes you need to. Just trying to train the kids before they get to the wasting stage. And... to top off Adam being the waster (haha) he also likes the expensive tp. hmmm. I buy 2 packs about once every month and a half. So it is prabably pretty close to the same consumption. We have two bathrooms so it is hard to keep track.
