Last night at about 9:30 PM I realized that our house was completely (TOTALLY!) out of toilet paper.  Not just one bathroom . . . all three bathrooms (EEK!) Â
Okay, we did have about 15 sheets left on one roll . . . for all five people in our house. . . not quite enough . . .Â
However I just knew that I'd at least have an extra box of Kleenex to get us through the night ~ ummm ~ except that I donated all the extra tissue boxes at the beginning of the school year (DOUBLE EEK!!!)  Here's what was left:
Yup, five people, and one whopping pocket pack of tissues . . . YIKES!  What's a penny pincher to do?
I raced to Kroger this morning before the kids got up, and found this fantastic deal on Cottonelle (thank heavens!) Here's the deal:
Cottonelle 12 double rolls $5.99
- Use $0.50 off Cottonelle Toilet Paper, exp. 9/23/12 (SS 08/12/12)
- $4.99 after coupon
- PLUS, when you purchase 2 Cottonelles you'll get a  $2 catalina at checkout, or purchase 3 and get a $3 catalina, which makes each pack just $3.99/pack, and $.012 per square foot! (Thanks for letting me know about the catalina, Mary!)Â
And if you're wondering how to figure out if that's a good price or not, here you go ~
$4.99/ 321.6 square feet = $.015 per square foot (and right at my stock up price!)
So, there you have it.  Go buy some toilet paper and stock up, because no one (NO ONE!) should ever be stuck with five people in the house and only a pocket pack of tissues. 😉
See more deals at Kroger this week.
Hey now Laurie, you know you could have come over and borrowed a couple of rolls. I might have laughed at ya but then you would have at least been covered lol 🙂
I almost did! 🙂
What is a catalina???
Hi Shelly! A catalina is a little coupon that prints at checkout towards your next purchase. You can use it on anything in the store, so it’s like free money just for buying the right items! Hope that helps 🙂
Laurie, it is actually an even better deal than you think. There is currently a catalina on the Cottonelle. WYB 2 you get a $2 Cat, WYB 3 you get a $3 Cat. It is a better deal to buy 2. I love it when this deal comes around at Kroger, which is usually about 4 times a year. The catalina also works at Wags, but the packs are smaller than the ones at Kroger.
I completely forgot about the catalina (I remember seeing it at Walgreens but didn’t even think about it working at Kroger, Mary!!!) Thank you so much for catching that… what a great deal! 🙂
