If you wanted to be really frugal, try using 'Both Sides' of the toilet paper Pauline.....

Re: Three single sheets

Some people collect all the remainders of old soaps and squash them together. They end up with weird shaped multi- coloured soap bar!

Like bubble bath ,you only need a tiny amount,to lather up,same with toothpaste,I am getting tight in my old age,

Yer don't need bubble bath, beans on toast 7.00am, bath at 8.00am, bingo.

My daughter makes her own soap, or used to.

Re: Three single sheets

This subject reminds me of the time l attended a court
case in Algeria concrning my brother, who was under threat
of a death sentence! And halfway through the proceedings
in court l needed the loo, on eventually finding the facility
I was dismayed to find there was no sign of paper! Just
an old baked bean can with water in it and a peice of wet
rag? I might add the loo itself was not up to my usual
standards either!
On completion of my business on the toilet l then had to
make an important decision what to do?
Fortunately l had been supplied with by the British consul
with a thick wad of Algerian Dinars! which seemed of an
adequate size for the job in hand! Problem solved!
Later l realised l had put myself at considerable risk due to
the fact that the presidents face was on the notes!
What a laugh?

Best Regards Donkeyman!

Re: Three single sheets

We need to go back to cutting up the newspaper and hanging the nice paper sheets, so produced, on a string loop.

You can even read the paper, whilst in there, and chose who you wipe with!

Is there anything you cut back on?
I always use two sheets for each 'wipe'

- two up,
- two down, and
- one to polish

That's ten sheets in total... on a good day.

I think that's a reasonable number.
