By a bidet attachment for your toilet right now. It’s like $25 and you can install it in 30 minutes.
Wouldn’t you pay $25 to never have to wipe your ass again? Go do it.

Don't you still need to wipe yourself dry?
I spin on my head til its dry
You can get one with a dryer, but you need to spend more than $25.
$25 is getting you an AliExpress squirt gun that you can poop through.

Personally, if I'm in no rush, I'll sit there a couple minutes to air dry. If I do need to dry off, you still end up using less toilet paper, just a couple squares to pat dry.
The biggest downside is when you have to poop outside of your house, my butt is no longer used to toilet paper and it just never feels quite as clean as it should once you get used to a bidet.
When I'm away from home and need to take a dump I take care to wipe extra carefully but I still often get some itching and irritation. Goes to show just how effective wiping is.
Where are all these $25 dollar bidets?
But then everything's all wet. What do I do then?
Dry off with TP.
I'll add to this travel bidets are cheap and serve as a test drive. And you can fill them with water as warm as you prefer.
I still dry with tp, but I go through very little. With the cost of toilet paper any reduction is cost saving.
I love mine so much that i bought one for a friend who recently had back surgery. IMO, the one with the vertical knob (turns fwd/bwd) is better/stays cleaner than the one with the arm and horizonal knob (turns r/l).
My problem with this is our water pressure here is pretty low and the bidet can't shoot out water that could confidently remove some possible sticky stuff. Any suggestions?
Use your hand. I don't think you take showers by just standing there either.
The Viking of Stamford Bridge
Someone so badass he's remembered by both the English and the Vikings in their written histories, but no one bothered to record his name.
🥕 3 shredded carrots 🍋 juice of one lemon 🧂 a little bit of salt
An amazingly fresh and delicious summer salad.
Add some shredded white and red cabbage for extra deliciousness.
Sesame seeds and a hint of soy sauce
Baby you got a slaw goin!
+ shredded apple
There's are databases for Unclaimed Property online that might have money you didn't know you were supposed to get. Searching for 'your state + unclaimed property' should return a .gov website for it. (disclaimer: I only know this is a thing in the USA)
I searched it 100% thinking that I wouldn't show up, but what do you know! I can claim $96
Jicama. It’s the most refreshing snack ever. And they are dirt cheap and readily available.
It’s like biting into sweet crispy water. Peel it, cut it up into sticks. Boom. It’ll be gone by the end of the day.
In a lot of stores the closest thing you are going to find is turnip. It is also sweet, crisp and delicious but I don't know how it compares.
Quake Champions, it's the best and most underrated shooter game I know of
My favourite thing about it is that although I die like 200 times in half an hour at least I can respawn straight away. It's a bit like playing all the bits they left out of Groundhog Day. They should use the alarm clock song from the movie as a respawn jingle.
When making a fire don't put the tinder directly on the ground. First lay a few logs as a bed to aid with airflow and to get the fire off the moist cold ground. Then put one more log on top of the bed you just made and put the tinder next to it and then continue adding smaller sticks and so on. The point of this final log is to prevent your tinder collapsing on itself and also helps with airflow. With this method I've gotten nearly 100% success rate with my firemaking.
Kinda like this but he used two sticks on top while I just use one that I place the other way around as the bed
I learnt this in Scouting! not really a useful tip except in specific situations, but good to know in those specific situations!
Kombucha is a good replacement for soft drink and it's really easy to make at home. Get a big glass jar (I do mine in batches of about 4L/1 gallon). Boil your 4L of water in a big saucepan, add a cup of white sugar, and about 6 tea bags. After it's boiled take the tea bags out and let it cool to body temp. Add it to your big glass jar and add a starter scoby (they're like $10 on Amazon). After about 5-10 days you take the Kombucha out of the big jar and put it into small bottles, I use swing top beer bottles. Leave the scoby and a little bit of liquid in the jar for your next batch . You can add something to the bottles for flavour and secondary fermentation at this point, I use 50ml of cordial. Leave the bottles for a few days and then consume.
I have mine running perpetually and consume about one bottle a day. As soon as I bottle some I put more tea in the jar. It's costs maybe a dollar or two per batch.
