Be honest - how many toilet rolls in your house?

I realised today we have 18 toilet rolls in the cupboard. To be fair, I always have lots in for some reason. But a friend told me on the phone today, she now has......65. How about you?

About 22 I think

MistyIsland · 03/04/2020 21:37

I have,

3 x 16 rolls (48)
2 x 24 rolls (48)
And a couple of random ones so around 100.

I do have IBD and shit a lot (mostly stuff you really don’t want to know about) and have been known to use 6 rolls a day!

On top of everyone being home it won’t last long...

This is not a stockpile buying, I get twitchy If I don’t have at least 48 because I’ve been caught without

I haven't had a problem getting any at all. We are a household of 3, I had a 4 pack at the time of the great loo roll panic, and by the time we needed more the panic was over.

We have 4 toilets (so one at each), 2 in the cupboard and I’ve just bought pack of 9 - so 15 in total. They should last us 6-8 weeks.

About 40. It’s the only thing I prepped for Brexit as we don’t have mains sewerage so have to be careful what we flush.

4, but it's just me so they should last ages. It's what's left of a 9 pack that I bought in December so I was completely unaffected by the panic buying. The egg shortages are annoying me more!

SummerBreezemakesmefeelfine · 03/04/2020 23:23

I have got about 80. Feeling a bit guilty, but will offer to a number of elderly neighbours who are isolating in the coming weeks if needed. The stockpile was because my adult DDs always came home and would take some back with them when they left. It was a way of helping them financially with their high rentals and outgoings without actually handing over cash.

45

@psychomath you only use 1 loo roll a month?

slithytoveisapenguin · 04/04/2020 13:17
  1. We have 45 delivered every 2 months from amazon so are never without
Orangecake123 · 04/04/2020 13:22

They're recycled ones and a bit larger than the normal sized ones.

I live alone and each one last 2-3 weeks.

DumpedByText · 04/04/2020 13:24

About 30 but I had them before this madness started! 😁

  1. Opened a 24 pack yesterday so bought another one just as we always have done.

With 1 Crohns sufferer and 1 IBS sufferer in the house this is entirely normal for us and left us in the happy situation of not needing to buy any when people were panic buying them the other week.

Longdistance · 04/04/2020 13:33

I managed to actually grab a pack of 9 yesterday. Dh’s friend left us a pack the other week, it was that cheap stuff that disintegrates when you wipe your foof. Was glad to be able to get some quilted.

Competitive crapping? Makes a change from the laundry threads.

GinnyStrupac · 04/04/2020 13:41

Delighted to announce that we are now the proud owners of a new pack of 4. A neighbour spotted them while kindly doing some communal shopping in the nearest town this morning and left us a doorstep delivery. What a relief - pun intended. I suppose hand gel is still a distant dream though.

PristineCondition · 04/04/2020 13:45

53 with four of us in the house
Dp has been picking up a pack of nine with his weekly dash to Aldi and I work in a shop and they have us all pack of 18 when it all kicked off

Didn't realise we had so many till I counted
