Seriously, how do I stop him buying toilet roll?

Hahahaha

Oh my god Honey I am ROFL here! Grin

Tell him you need toilet paper next time he goes out - works for my husband at least....

HoneyDragon · 05/04/2016 12:37

Would you like some to mop your tears up Grays?

Spike his food with something that gives him the runs and then at least the stocks will go down a bit.

Throwingshadeagain · 05/04/2016 12:37

ha ha love it! My dh is kind of the opposite and thinks we are fine for loo roll if we are down to our last two rolls in a household of five people!

Ratbagcatbag · 05/04/2016 12:38

Feed him laxatives for a couple of weeks, bonus is you'll use up lots of toilet rolls and he won't be able to get out to buy more Grin

MsMims · 05/04/2016 12:38

That's so funny! Why does he do it?!

Kelandry · 05/04/2016 12:40

Built a fort with them.

HoneyDragon · 05/04/2016 12:40

The laxatives won't work .... We still have 28 tins of beans left. He tried to buy more of those but I put my foot down.

I assumed he would've realised we were OK for toilet roll.

I think you have just explained the loo roll Grin

Floralnomad · 05/04/2016 12:46

We always have a toilet roll mountain in our house ,is that unusual ?

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 05/04/2016 12:47

My H is the opposite. He is perfectly capable of using the last of something and then "not realising" that we have no more magically hidden somewhere.

I'm not sure which is worse! Do you get through a lot of beans? Confused

pepperrabbit · 05/04/2016 12:52

We're clearly married to the same man Smile
I dread him "popping to Costco", we have roughly the same amount of loo roll as you, with a like amount of kitchen roll - the type where each sheet is the size of a tea towel, plus an industrial catering size of foil - it has to live on the side as it's too big for any cupboard or drawer Hmm
Took me months to consume 24 tins of tomato soup after I mentioned in passing that I fancied some.
I did point out that the truly enormous vat of jam and bucket of honey he came home with made us look like we were from Lilliput at breakfast.
He can't help himself.

pepperrabbit · 05/04/2016 12:53

Oh and the day he brought home 12 boxes of pantyliners cos they were on "spesh"

HoneyDragon · 05/04/2016 12:55

Dh is a pop to Costco man. Bloody Costco

My mother would read up on international economic issues to obtain advance warning. 'Problems in Ceylon' anyone? (Arrival of a very large amount of tea.)

wowfudge · 05/04/2016 13:01

How about a yard sale?

BarbaraofSeville · 05/04/2016 13:01

Costco is one of the cheapest places for decent toilet roll by far and they often have it on buy one get one free but you have to buy dozens of rolls at a time.

As long as you have space to store it, I suppose it's better than buying it as and when at the local corner shop at four times the price.

IamtheZombie · 05/04/2016 13:02

Zombie loves living alone. On the extremely few occasions when the shopping goes a bit wrong, it's no one's fault but her own. Being a big grown up Zombie, she owns her errors. Grin

postmanpatscat · 05/04/2016 13:02

pepperrabbit that's why I refuse to go to Costco. If it doesn't fit in the cupboards, I don't want it in the house. DP has ten tins of tuna in the cupboard and that's enough to give me hives every time I open the cupboard door. We have a small freezer thanks to the built in fridge freezer that came with the house and it's mostly full of stuff he's picked up in the supermarket and then had to freeze because it's been in the fridge for a week and is about to go off. Then we go to the shop and he wants to buy more because yes, we do have some, but it's frozen Hmm I can't do anything about this because I'm vegetarian and he isn't (apart from go food shopping without him, which I do as often as possible).
