The above picture of toilet paper is just another example of how we’re paying more for less.
I went to Sam’s Club a few days ago and one of the products I purchased was a bundle of 36 rolls of toilet paper. I have been purchasing the same brand of paper since I joined Sam’s last year.
The first difference I noticed between my previous purchase and this latest purchase was the price. I paid nearly $3 more for the same amount of toilet paper. Since I had not purchased a bundle in a few months, I simply assumed that our economy’s current state of recession was the culprit.
However, when I began to put away the toilet paper, I noticed something that made me do a double take. The new roll of toilet paper was shorter than the old one! That’s funny, I thought. I looked at the numbers on the old package, and sure enough, each new package has 9.4 square feet less than the old one! It might not seem like much, but the fact that I’m paying more money for less paper is maddening.
