Have you ever asked yourself, “What is a good stock up price for toilet paper and paper towels?” While what you pay can vary from region to region, everyone seems to see a really good deal on these products every now and again. Here are my stock up prices:
TOILET PAPER: $0.01 – $0.03 per square foot
PAPER TOWELS: $0.03 – $0.05 per square foot
This requires a little bit of math on your end to determine your per square foot price — but it really is a simple calculation to complete:
Price Paid / Total Square Feet = Price Per Square Foot
(i.e. $7.00 / 700 square feet = $0.01 per square foot)
Isn’t that pretty easy? (I think it is).<
You might wonder why don’t you just figure the price per roll? Well, that is because that is really not a good calculation. Some are single rolls, others are double. The package might have a bonus of 30% added in. If you really want to know if you are getting a good deal, it is important that you really use this calculation. When you calculate your price per square foot, you really do see your “bottom” line price.
This doesn’t mean I won’t buy if it is not at my rock bottom price. Of course, I always try to stock up when I see a great deal so that I’m not left scoring only an “eh” deal. It is wise to make sure that you are always using your coupons before you head out.
