To be annoyed that DS has "gifted us" over 1000 toilet rolls

[OonaStubbs]

They arrived by lorry today. We did not know they were coming. Now our spare bedroom is full of them and there are loads in the kitchen and living room as well. He said he got them as "a good deal from work" and he thought we would want them. But he forgot to tell us about it.

Costco sell toilet rolls in packs of 40 and certainly always have considerably more than 25 packs in stock. It's huge amount for a house but nothing for a cash and carry place.

I'm going to go against the flow here and say I think this is actually quite a thoughtful present - as long as you have enough space to physically store them. If not, what are his own living arrangements like? Could he look after some of them for you?

Quilted velvet or sandpaper?

I used to order subscription toilet rolls. So a huge cardboard box came every two months, took a family or four two months to get through a box of I think 25 rolls. And yes I was sitting pretty during the covid toilet roll shortage 😂
If there are two of this will take a few years to get through 1000 rolls.
I hope you like the paper 😂

You could line your exterior-facing walls with them to save heating costs. Pad out your coat with TP insulation. Use them as tissues, cleansing wipes and kitchen roll. Win-win!

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 (sorry op but it's very funny)

Loose or wrapped in packets?

Brilliant 🤣🤣🤣

How much did they cost him? What brand are they? Are they loose or in packets? Bags? Boxes?

Loft?

my mum would love this and think it hilarious

Fancy 😀 we had a teacher who used to give it out as tissues !

Food bank(s) was a good idea upthread
I wouldn’t want to store more than 50!

What kind are we talking? Decent TP? How good was the deal? What did the driver say when he realised it wasn’t a business?

We get through about a roll a day, on average, as a 4 person household so 1000 is just over 2 1/2 years worth.
Savings somewhere in the £5-800 region over that period so quite the gift (assuming his deal was less than that).

Time for a vindaloo 😁

Turn it into a game. Stack them into a leaning tower of Pisa, and an Eiffel Tower.

When full, this repurposed laundry box had 48 rolls in it. Two laundry boxes is not huge. While 20 laundry boxes full would be a little excessive for personal use it really isn't Costco quantities!

Hope they're not the awful scented/coated ones at least!

Well you won't need to buy any Christmas wrapping paper !

Let's hope it's not stock which did not pass quality control and that's why they were getting rid of it!!
Did he pay for the delivery truck?
A very practical long term present.
Please update as the supply level goes down so we can keep track. And we need thus thread updated until you get to the last roll please. It will take a few years 😁

I ended up in a similar situation once, but gradually. My dad used to work in a paper mill that manufactured toilet rolls amongst other things. He'd visit weekly and bring several large packs each time (seconds but you couldn't really tell). We ended up with packs EVERYWHERE, they were stacked wall to wall in the bathrooms, bedroom, filled the wardrobes, tops of the wardrobes, landing, shed etc. I was relieved when he retired 😂

Sad to say it doesn't last as long as you'd think, especially with 4 DC, with the price of loo roll I now miss those days

That must've been one hell of a deal! A bit excessive maybe but hey I'll take them off your hands...

Video or photo needed!!!

Stick it in the attic. Extra insulation?

Is he a hoarder? My ex dp was and I regularly used toget bizarre deliveries to my house
