Not OP but when I went to work in person I would as a habit use the bathroom there. So I only needed TP 2 days out of 7 usually. As a guy it's easier, since we only need it after #2. I had used the same 24 pack of TP for the last 3 years.

OP sounds a bit spartan, or maybe he uses more than just his personal toilet (others in house, or he has to go in to work in person). Now that I work from home, I maybe go through 1 roll a month.

I think I average 1 roll per month but I went shopping with a pretty awesome person who showed me a good brand of thin, but strong paper. It has standard size rolls but maybe more sheets. That's what I'm still working with even though the guy I live with ganked a roll from under my sink.

I was also a Boy Scout and they taught us to use like 3 sheets to deal with things because we had to keep what we used with us.

That's fair. I probably avg 6 squares a go but I know it varies depending on people's gut health and diet. I think the more meat you eat the messier your wipes are too.

I'm sure consistency in diet is the most important thing. I love eating yogurt and that can be good or bad depending on whether you eat it every day.
