Out of TP? Here’s where to buy toilet paper in bulk!
The toilet paper craze of 2020 left nearly every store shelf cleaned off as everybody and their neighbor was scrambling to grab all the rolls they could get their hands on. If you were one of the unlucky ones who was left with single-ply tissues or wipes that could end up clogging your drains, we feel your pain.
Although sales have slowed down a bit, toilet paper is still in very high demand, so we’ve compiled a list of the best places to stock up so you don’t find yourself with a shortage when you really need it!
Since every toilet paper roll is a little different in length and the number of sheets, our comparisons are based on price per sheet for consistency. You can also calculate the cost per sq. ft., but not every manufacturer includes that information in the product details.
P.S. Although the giant commercial roll pictured above would probably last you an eternity, our list only includes regular-sized toilet paper rolls!
Here are 5 places you can purchase a large quantity of toilet paper:
1. Warehouse clubs
If you’re a Costco, Sam’s Club, or BJ’s member, you can likely take home quite a few rolls for less than what you’d pay at most grocery stores.
Although superstore brands such as Kirkland and Member’s Mark are less popular than Charmin or Quilted Northern, they come highly rated and still deliver exceptional quality.
Windsoft Bath Tissue – 96 Rolls | $51.99 (>1¢/sheet)
Member’s Mark Ultra Premium Bath Tissue – 45 Rolls | $19.98 (>1¢/sheet)
Berkley Jensen Big Roll Bath Tissue – 36 Rolls | $18.99 (>1¢/sheet)

Keep in mind that while toilet paper is in high demand, it’s important to be thoughtful of other shoppers in need and abide by the retailer’s purchase limits. And whatever you do, just don’t buy flushable wipes and flush them —they could wreak serious havoc on your pipes!
