Cheap bulk toilet rolls & hand soaps...

I live in a shared rented house and am responsible for supplying the toilet hardware i.e toilet rolls and hand soaps.

Until now I have just been buying 4 pack toilet rolls and the tubs of moisturising hand soap from the supermarket whenever it as run out.

However, these items seem to run out quicker than expected so I need to keep topping them up every week. I do not have a car and so I can only carry up to a 6 pack of tp at a time with all my other shopping.

Plus, it is costing more than I'd like since I end up buying smaller quantities from a supermarket.

So - I would ideally like to buy a large quantity of toilet rolls and hand soap which I can store in our garage, thus saving money and hopefully meaning that I don't need to carry it back with me each time.

I've searched on ebay for bulk sales of these but there aren't any. I've also done a Google search and again there doesn't seem to be a bulk seller of these items (unless I want to spend a couple of thousands pounds which I don't!).

I don't see the point in spending a lot of money on toilet paper and soaps - so I'm trying to minimise my cost on these items.

Does anyone know where I can buy these items in bulk and cheap? Preferably delivered too?

Thanks!!

    Delivered No

    But Costco/Makro maybe?

    But Costco has membership fees, and i think Makro does to, see if you can find anyone you know with one, and tag along on a trip with them i say :-)

    Failed that, a visit to Lidl or Aldi and buy lots and lots of their cheap (but questionable) toliet roll
  • can you not do an overall on-line shop at Tesco or Asda with the food shopping? In a shared house it should be easy to cover minimum spend?
    Other than that, I aim to pay about 20p a toilet roll at Home Bargains /Aldi / B&M, preferably for decent stuff!!! like Charmaine or Dixcel
