Know How Much You Use

Ok, this post and tip takes planning.  I wanted to know how much toilet paper my family uses.  I get coupons for toilet paper from time to time, and stock up.  However, there are times when I think my stock pile of toilet paper is excessive.

I wanted to know how much we use in an average year, and try to always have a year supply of it on hand.  In order to do that I needed to do some calculating and test my patience.
I filled up a section of our hall linen closet with 90 rolls of toilet paper. It took us 4 months to use it all.  Now I know that I need 270 rolls of toilet paper for the year.  As I fill up the linen closet with toilet paper, I will look to replenish the same amount when coupons are available.  No way would I pay regular price for toilet paper, sometimes its $9.99 and I get it for $2.99 with coupons.
It seems like a lot of work for me to figure this out, but it is one of the tips I do to save money.
It pays to be frugal.
