I am struggling to understand how one person can st to such a level that requires NINE full bog rolls per month. When I lived on my own a pack of 4 would last me at least 3 months and I'm a stickler for having a shiny hoop (before someone suggests I wasn't cleaning properly and just smearing st around). And no stting at work/other people's houses either.

Women! the amount of loo roll they use (from experiance) is probably treble what I use myself

Sorry I wasn't aware that shep1001 was a woman - thanks for the info. Andy is an odd name for a woman though.

Some of these posts make me cry with despair and yet admire folks all at the same time.

Nice to see folk scooping up all these bargains.

Do any of you buy from discounted isles.... the ones in the corner with damaged packaging?

Always seems a bit taboo when browsing, but it's irrational.... a damaged can of beans will still taste like beans from an undamaged can.... right?

They do. Buy a few tins and then you can lob a bottle of beer into the trolley and pay for it with the money you've just saved on the beans.

Then you can drink the beer whilst eating the beans and fart like a pro

I've never ever seen dented tins knocked down in Tesco though, they just seem to try and sell them on at the same price.

You're all wrong using bog roll, the ultimate way to a cheap and clean nipsy is use a bidet or one of those multi-function toilets with a water jet in it. One pack of toilet roll lasts me a year or two.

This. I was going to import one (the Korean-made is cheaper than the Japanese 230/240V models and will work fine), but I happened to look on Gumtree found a guy in town selling a sealed-box EU-spec one (Uspa brand) for £200

Best £200 ever spent, my toilet roll consumption is now a roll a year. The only hassle was running power to the toilet area.

I bought a 24 pack of loo rolls today ,will last me to middle of next year ,probably.

When you think about it we haven't come very far in that department have we, it used to be a handful of grass, leaves or whatever and now it's something made from trees.

Still dirty, but expensive, block drains up and non biodegradable.

[theplayingmantis]

i dont use wet wipes i use 'dirty' paper, but how are wet wipes not clean?

unlikley as it seems, i get paper could smear it around and show as a false clean wipe if the poop on the bum had dried up. and thus leave you with a pooey bum

but how could wet wipes, the moisture would dampen and poop and smear it on the paper so you could wipe away until spotless knowing theres defo nothing left.

You could do what pikies do, and not wipe at all...........

Well they fail on all the other points I mentioned and I don't really want to over analyse (analise?) it because it isn't the most pleasant of topics and we're way off the original topic, but I did allude to the issue in my first post on the topic in that bottoms are hairy.
I'm presuming you have some hair on your head here, if not imagine you do. If you were in the garden at home and a bird shat on your head would you wipe it with tissue or wet wipes and call it job done? Personally I wouldn't, I would wash my hair.
The other reasons are many people have piles or are susceptible to them and additionally IBS too so don't want to wipe, also in hot weather it gets a bit hot, sweaty and sore down there so again, flushing with water is a much better way of doing it. That's where I got the idea from because that's how they do it in some hot and humid countries.

Hope this 'clears things up' for you.

Can we move on from the bottom wiping ?....ta.....

For the price of the installation you could probably buy a life time supply of bog roll.

Where can you buy 80 years worth of bog roll for less than a couple of grand?

The 24 roll bag I bought yesterday cost 8GBP.

As I said it would last over a year ,8x80years =640 pounds.

Asda .

OK maybe I should reword my question : Where can you buy 80 years worth of decent bog roll that your fingers don't go straight through and get lathered in st for less than a couple of grand? Even doubling or trebling up the layers your fingers go through it or it tears into shreds as you're wiping.

[Vyse]

You can buy andrex for less than a tenner.

Or even 45 rolls of andrex for 17.50.
