Quentin wrote: I have been using the “Big Rolls” (1,000 sheet roll) of toilet paper from Walgreen’s Pharmacy for years. Whenever they are on sale we buy. I knew the price had gone up but didn’t know “the rest of the story”. The oldest roll in our stock was priced at 79 cents each or 3/$1.99 and weighed 9.4 oz. The sheets were 4.5”x 4.4”and totaled 137.5 sq. ft. The next oldest roll in our stock was priced at 89 cents each or 4/$3.00 and weighed 7.8 oz. The sheets were 4.25”x 4.0”and totaled 118.05 sq. ft. The ones I bought yesterday were priced the same at 89 cents each or 4/$3.00. The sheets were 4.25”x 4.0”and totaled 118.05 sq. ft. But the rolls only weighed 7.4 ounces!”
