Had a quick weekend trip to see my sister and we chatted about TP prices. It’s true. I read this on a blog a long time ago, but it’s one of my favorite little shopping tips.
When trying to figure out a good price, look at the square footage on the package. Then move the decimal point to the left two places. That is a good TP price.
For example:
Ignore all the talk about how many rolls. See the part on the bottom line in blue that says Total? In parentheses is 431 square feet. So scoot that decimal 2 to the left, and you realize you should not pay much more than $4.31 for this package.
Here is where you realize you will never be able to buy TP again without knowing this. I’m sorry. But at least when you walk by an end cap at the store and see a sign that promotes a “Big Sale” but you’re paying $5 more than you know you should…well, you can walk on by with a knowing laugh.
Any super quick shopping tips for us to share?
