I think we, as women, are pretty familiar with the typical men faux pas in regards to toilet paper. After all, cliches exist for a reason fellas.
Why, men, why? It takes like, two seconds to change the roll.
However, I have a different kind of tale to tell involving men (one man, David) and toilet paper. No worries, it’s appropriate.
In our house, we buy a lot of our household items online. Paper towels, toilet paper, shampoo, etc. Usually I am on top of our supply because I like to keep these basic items stocked and ready to go for not only us, but for guests as well. However, as life sometimes goes, things got busy a few weeks back and ordering toilet paper completely slipped my mind. David was on his way home from work, so I messaged him asking him to grab some on his way home. I was grateful when I saw him pull in the driveway and emerge with an enormous size package of toilet paper. I gleefully thought this would restock all our empty stores and last quite a while. Then… I saw what he had bought.
The. World’s. Cheapest. Toilet Paper.
Proudly he announced how he had wisely saved us a few bucks by taking the time to squat down to the lowest shelf in the store. Y’all, he was beaming. I, however, was not. I quickly freed a roll from the plastic and showed him what he’d done. It was rough, it was translucent, it was lower quality than the toilet paper in cheapest gas stations. Not ready to admit his mistake, he doubled down, saying it wasn’t all that bad.
The next day I ordered some of my go-to toilet paper- Charmin. I stocked the guest bathroom, the girls’ bathroom, and grabbed a roll for the master bath. BUT, since David was still standing by his claim that his toilet paper purchase was “just fine,” I did what any snarky wife would do and decided to stock him up- with his toilet paper.
I figured if he liked it so much, I wouldn’t want to deprive him of it, so I piled all 23 extra rolls under his sink and announced it was all his!
That was several weeks ago and slowly he’s been making his way through his stash. It’s become quite the joke between us, as every time he needs a new roll, he hangs his head in shame and disappointment when he pulls out yet another roll from his cheapo stash.
Just this week I noticed it was time to stock up again on the good stuff, so I took advantage of the coupon and promo code being offered right now on Charmin Ultra Strong Clean Touch toilet paper on Amazon.
It arrived quickly and I restocked the guest baths, the girls’ baths, and my side of the master, giggling at David’s still fairly full supply of the paper-thin stuff, debating whether I wanted to stick this “punishment” out for the long run or make amends.
Then I remembered that Mother’s Day is this weekend, I figured I could use all the good graces I can get and so…
I let him off the hook.
Now, if only I could capture his face when he sees it…
Ok, y’all, some quick notes you need to know to save some $$$ yourself!
- This Charmin Ultra Strong Clean Touch is available only on Amazon
- Save $3 on New Charmin Strong Clean 24 Ct Family Mega Rolls using promo code: 3MEGACHARMIN
- Additional $2 off coupon can be applied at checkout for a total savings of $5!
One more important thing to notice: 1 Charmin Family Mega Roll = 5+ Regular Rolls based on a number of sheets in Charmin Regular Roll bath tissue. This roll is HUGE, but it still fits easily onto our toilet paper holders.
Having to change the roll less often? I’ll take it.
So go now, save $5 and stock your essentials as part of your spring cleaning!

I guess David still has not learned that “you get what you pay for”. Glad you realized that you have shamed him enough – and that Mother’s Day is on the horizon!
Brittany Dixon says
It’s been a slow lesson we’ve been learning together over the years… and we have a few laughs from cheap buys to prove it! 😉
Karen says
Love this….and agree completely….why men why???????
sherry says
This post is so funny. Should I get a special supply of toilet tissue for David when he comes to visit 😉
Now I think I will go order some Charmin.

Lucy Foster says
I’m dying laughing. My inlaws buy that same cheapo, awful stuff. We actually bring our own toilet paper when we visit. Lol.
Brittany Dixon says
Oh my gosh I love that you pack your own tp!! LOL!
Lauren says
My husband will not let me buy cheap toilet paper…but he does always stick the new roll on top of the old one!!!
Brittany Dixon says
I think it’s written in the man code or something that they can’t change the roll 😉
John J. says
Not true! But Charmin being the best is.
Tracy says
So funny and so so true. I’m so sure this would happen in my house that I would never consider asking my husband to pick up toilet paper! Lol
Question… I understand that David has his own sink, but does he have his own toilet? Don’t you use the same one?
Brittany Dixon says
No, haha, same toilet! It had his paper in it and I mostly just used the hall one OR I’d suck it up and just help use his up because I’m a loving wife like that 😉
