I finally did it, I won the toilet paper war!
For months I have been battling with the kids on their wasting toilet paper. Seriously, some days they would go through TWO rolls. But on a good day we'd still go through an entire roll. Ridiculous. I always buy those big rolls, so it was a lot of toilet paper! I'd find wads of it that I was afraid to flush down the toilet for fear it would clog.... I'd find the roll completely unrolled in a pile. All in all, the kids were using too much tp.
Now I'm a huge fan of the nice cushy papers, so I always buy the nice ones. But going through that much of it was driving me nuts. Buying a huge pack every couple weeks? The last thing our budget needs is to have a toilet paper allotment having to be added in. Crazy. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that they wipe and want them to keep doing it. They just don't need to use a yard per bathroom visit.
One day Josh suggested getting the nasty crispy paper. Its cheap, and maybe the kids wouldn't like it as much and keep using excessive amounts. Isabel refers to it as the kind they have in Target (in the bathrooms, lol). Pretty much like using tissue paper, and not the Kleenex kind. I didn't want to get that stuff (yuck!) but I did finally break down and get a big pack of Scotts. Not the one that's supposedly soft, but the regular stuff. It's not so nice, but the kids have gone 4 days on one roll! Score!
Rebecca calls it the itchy paper... Isabel says it's hard....Josh, I just hope is still wiping.
At any rate... I WIN! (though I'm considering hiding a few rolls of Cottonelle that only Josh and I know the whereabouts of for us, hehe)
