"Life is a lot like toilet paper, the closer you get to the end the faster it goes... "
I can honestly say it feels like my loo rolls seem as if they are spinning entirely out of control!
Toilet rolls aren't something you buy daily or weekly for that matter (unless you have a big household that eats them!). I have been going after the same brand for years and each time I bought a pack of 10, their retail price seem to have gone up by yet another 10% - I'd say consistently for the last 6 months.
That sucks, but nothing much I can do when we are faced with a weak dollar, an inflation that is forever spiralling upward and when loo roll remains a necessity to wipe your behind with!
What I do not like is the cunning ways of how the manufacturers are trying to hide by:
1) cutting each sheet into a smaller size,
2) rolling them up in a smaller roll AND
3) putting up the price!
Imagine that 2-ply, 3 sheets for a wipe - that's like a decade-old habit you can't easily change, right? By making the product lighter, taking the assumption that our habits don't change, they can get more rolls from the same amount of paper and happily make more money out of that! How about we try to surprise them by starting to conserve on paper consumption! That might work.
Since we are on the subject of toilet rolls, how do you hang them by the way?
