The toilet paper that I have been getting at Costco comes in really large rolls. Once you put it in the dispenser, it won’t spin. So, I have to use some of the toilet paper before I put on the dispenser. ---

I don’t have a lot of fun tickets, but I don’t scrimp on TP. I only buy the good shit. ---
