    If you don't pamper your rear with Aloe Vera the ordinary Andrex rolls are still 220 sheets per roll.

    I'd be curious to know what your average sheet per poo (SPP) count is....

    For me I'd guess at 30? Probably less, I just can't envision it right now...


    In that case, the difference between 160 and 280 is about 4 urtha kitts.

    Of course, with 160 you get roughly 5 urtha kitts and 3 lots of 9 rolls is 27 rolls total, meaning you get 135 polished off....

    10/135 = around 7.5p per urtha kitt (as apposed to 4.1p if the rolls had 280 sheets). I can afford to pay an extra 3p per kitt! Funnily enough but you could probably save more by modifying your toilet so that it uses less water when flushing, but that is just speculation.

    Of course, the ultimate SPP ratio is achieved by 'going rogue' but that results in skiddies which is an unfortunate side effect.. :(

    Personally I always check the sheet count on a pack when buying, especially if they are on offer.
  • I just dump in supermarket toilets for real money saving nous.

    In the 1950s my gran had neatly cut newspaper squares , threaded on a piece of string, hanging from a nail in her outside toilet. The toilet, though wood with a bucket, was very 'modern' because it had a real flush.

    I'm old enough to remember Bronco toilet paper.
