If you divide the extra £4 to get 'proper' stuff for a few less rolls (45) you're looking at these Nicki Tracing Paper Sheets at 18.5p per roll (not factoring in how thick the rolls are - or the size of the tubing), but compare that to 32.5p - you're looking at 14p per roll more to go from FarmFoods to Waitrose...

Just seems a no brainer - as im not sure who else is like us, but a roll lasts a good for days, so considering its purpose and the risk that @robin5858 clearly pointed out above (we all know what he means), who'd risk that for 14p per roll :smile:
Note to self. Find better things to do during the day than sit around talking about bog roll economics.

I forgotten how many times this offer has been posted on here.
It is expensive toilet paper for what it is.
If you need 3 ply, you have a hand on bum force issue.

No there not. I can get 4 x 9 packs of Waitrose Essential for £9 at the moment.
240 sheets per roll instead of Nicky's 170. But same area size per pack compared ( never go by price per roll ). But easier to store.
Essentials is very soft and strong.
So at £2.25 a pack it seems to be a better bargain to me than £3.33.

But youre getting 54 rolls.... instead of 36 from Waitrose in your offer.... (which Im seeing at 2 for £6)
Plus this is three ply, not two... so you use less.

Not a bargain if you have to use twice as much :confused:
