I'm always amazed at the grocery stores, when I see somebody buying a pack of TP that fills their whole cart.
What the hell are they doing with it?
Some people have more than one or two bathrooms. Or, perhaps they buy in bulk then rinse and repeat once they get low again. Or, perhaps they have lots of family/guests staying with them.

We have 3 bathrooms, that doesn't make us use more toilet paper.

Leave the Stone Age behind and get a bidet attachment for your toilets

How much TP do you normally buy? I couldn't tell you how frequently I buy TP. Almost certainly no more than 3 times a year. You stated a roll will last your bathroom two weeks. You need 26 rolls per year just for that 1 bathroom.
You also stated that you have 3 bathrooms. So that's more rolls that you need per year. For argument's sake, lets say you need another 12 rolls for the other two bathrooms (seems like a low estimate if 1 is being used regularly).
That's 38 rolls per year for your house. Buy whatever brand of TP you want, you're going to pay less per roll the more you buy at once. I can get a 30 pack of Kroger brand TP for $20, 0.66 per role. The same TP in a 4 pack costs $5.29, $1.32 per role.
If you have the room to keep it, why would you not buy the larger pack?

Do those things keep the water warm?
I ask because, I used to dive for a living, and one part of it that I don't miss, is having ice cold water hit the crack of my arse.

For $40 or two 30 packs of TP you can get a bidet attachment. It won't completely eliminate the need for TP, and everyone is different, but in my house it cut our TP use by more than half.
My bidet paid for itself in the first year or so, *and* with two kids I plunge toilets far less often, *and* my a-hole is cleaner.

I'm not arguing for TP over bidet. Just pointing out the absurdity of being "amazed" at people buying TP.

Perhaps they're stupid arse auburn fans looking to roll a tree.

If we get down to a couple of rolls in the package, we just pick some up next time we go out. One of us will be passing by the store within the next couple of days.
We try not to be wasteful with supply type things, like sand paper, shop towels, masking tape, WD-40, PB blaster, mineral spirits, denatured alcohol, stains... These are things we have to have all the time, because we use them a lot. I just spent 30 bucks this morning on stain and wood glue.

Went on a four day trip recently and I was so happy to get back to my bidet.. TP only really sucks now

I guess it's possible, but there's 3 people at our house, and we won't even use 8 rolls in a month.
In my bathroom, a roll will last 2 weeks.
I bought 30 rolls in mid-Feb. 2020 (pre-COVID/TP mania). I'm currently on my last roll.
I will say my bidet has arse-isted in less necessary wipes.

Yeah, that's what most people do. Regardless of how much they buy.

It's not wasteful to buy something you're going to use. Again, if you have the room to keep it what sense does it make to buy 1 pack of 10 3 times if you can buy 1 pack of 30 one time.

Neat.

It's just a budgeting thing for us, with a JIT approach. All of these things we have to constantly buy, we don't stockpile any of it, because we might need something else tomorrow, out of the blue.

Women apparently need a fistful of tp to wipe after peeing.
The rule of thumb is one roll per week per male in the house. One roll per day per female.

The nice warm seat. The warm water and oscillating jet that cleans. Then the air dryer. Also it sprays a little air fresher and some drop cleaner in the toilet too.
Just. If you're ever sick and throwing up on your toilet. Make sure your hands are no where near the control. It sucks to be puking and then accidently spray your face.
