Costco toilet rolls are the superior product, my friends. Trouble is you get something like 48 rolls in a wholesale packet - so you need somewhere to stash them.

Just buy a garden shed and fill it with bog roll. The next time there's a pandemic, sell it to Australians as individual rolls for 10x market value. Like a sort of strategic reserve.
Somewhere dry, in a sturdy container to protect it against pests.
Which Costco also sells. Those 40+ quart translucent containers hold most of the 38 rolls you get from them.
(I'll admit to a little sarcasm - it's funny Costco sells these giant packs of bog roll, and also sells you the box to store it in. Irony, right?)
Sorry for being thick. Where's the irony there?
If they didn't sell you the giant package, you wouldn't need to also buy a storage container.
I don't believe that's irony. That's just "good business".
Irony would be selling you something to reduce the amount of storage space required (e.g. those vacuum bags) but they're sold, in bulk, in massive containers taking up the room they were supposed to create for you.
Quart? I'm not storing a bushel of grain to be inspected by the lord of the manor!
Seriously though I do love efficient storage containers and would happily fill the house with them.
Hey, if you have a lord of the manor, quart comes from your measurement system!
We've managed to cut the crazy units down to a handful just for special occasions
Wish there was a Costco near me :(
I can see we are finally asking the real questions. Velvet Quilted.
I go with quilted. Not artisinal, hand-crafted, 8-ply quilted with a 3000 thread count of Egyptian cotton, but... heh... wait for it... bog standard supermarket own brand quilted. See what I did there? No? I'll let myself out.
Asda Shades So Soft. I tried Aldi but it just seemed to run out quicker.
I started ordering from Who Gives A Crap. It's decent toilet roll, and the roll is solidly packed, so you get plenty in a single roll.
It's gone up in price so much though! I do apreciate it just arriving at my door instead of having to go to the shop and drag TP back every few weeks.
I've been with Cushelle tubeless for quite a while now and it feels as pleasant as a wipe could be
