What’s the significance of beans, toilet roll and pasta ???

I'm not going to go into details, but due to medical conditions my household goes through about 4 rolls a week. Thus, my thinking was that the 7 I had would probably not last us for 2 weeks and it was better to be safe than sorry.

 

We all know BarnsleyReds is a profuse shi.tter.
So it’s really improper to ask such as that.

 

Come on then, what's the average amount for a normal household? Any idea? I wouldn't know as I live on my own and despite going to the toilet what I would assume is a normal amount of times I seem to only buy a pack every few months. I don't remember the last time I bought any

 

I have no idea what the average use is. Which is why I said 'I have no idea why people are stocking up'. I would imagine it's close to one roll every 3 or 4 days, per person?

 

No I honestly haven't bought anything extra, I haven't made any changes to my usual shopping habits at all.

With everything that is happening I might pick up a few extra bits but as for excessive panic buying - well it just isn't going to happen. If there are any left in the supermarket I will pick up the usual monthly nine rolls (I might push the boat out and get twelve if the opportunity presents itself) but I would never go mad and buy a six month supply like some seem to be doing.

There would be plenty for everyone if it wasn't for panic buying so I just don't think it is necessary.

 

I'm disappointed. When you said you use more than the average at 4 rolls I thought you might have a clue what the average actually is. According to Google the average person uses 100 rolls a year and I'd say the average family is 4 people which is between seven and 8 rolls per week per family.

I must be a bit weird because I definitely definitely don't use anywhere near 100 rolls per year. I doubt it's even half of that.

 

My goal was to have 2 weeks worth of non-perishable food in the house. Then to do my weekly shopping as normal and save those goods 'just in case'.

I'll ask again, do you have a plan for if your household develops symptoms and needs to isolate for 7 days? I really hope it doesn't come to that. I really do.

 

My guess of 1 roll every 3 or 4 days was pretty much bang on then!

I also want to point out that I didn't say we use more than average at 4 rolls a week - I just said that's what we go through, so the 7 we have in the cupboard was unlikely to last for 2 weeks. I always assumed that my mrs went through more than me, but I bet we're actually pretty even.

 

Yes, we do a weekly food shop and we always have bits of spare pasta and soup in. We would survive without having to resort to panic buying. The supply chain would cope a lot better if everyone was a little more pragmatic.

 

That's absolutely fair. We very rarely eat tinned or frozen goods, which is why I had to buy them in as a backup. We try and eat fresh as much as humanly possible.

 

Practice to get bowel movements on a routine. Same time every day whilst at work. save a fortune. If you don't work weekends. Use a bung till Monday. Works for me.
PS I work in Sheffield. Plenty of arsewipes there.

 

Yeah it wasn't a bad guess at all. I quite like that for years you've always secretly blamed Mrs barnsleyreds for using all the toilet roll but in reality it's you who uses just as much.

 

That's why you're fingers are brown

 

I must admit that I eat a lot of fruit and I tend to buy it a little more frequently than other stuff. Thankfully fruit still seems to be readily available.

 

Saves money on fake tan

 

This is pretty much bang on. Not going to lie. I've never done the maths. I know how much we use together roughly on a weekly basis and I know how often I change the roll in the toilet I use. I never thought about it more than that.

 

Win win

 

No but I think we both know that at least for the next few days you're going to be watching that roll like a hawk and trying to work out how much you're both using

 

Absolutely. I will be making a point of making 1 roll last me the rest of the week.

I've just thought that we both work from home 90% of the time, so we go through more toilet paper than people going to an office for 8 hours a day.

 

I used my hand, soap and water to wipe my arse and wash it afterwards quite regularly. I also wash my arse in shower.
