I love single ply! (Except for the scott 1000, which I used a little begrudginly until they made the rolls smaller).

Here in my area, the single ply is thicker than one of the two ply’s and is very expensive (About $8, on sale, for 12 rolls of 500 sheets, single ply, vs. $4.99, on sale, for a roll of 300 sheets of two ply.)

I bought the thicker single ply once when it was on sale a few years back, and it was wonderful (it’s a very good quality for the store brand even). I still have a few packs tucked away because I like them so much, strange but true.

One trick I used when I made the mistake of buying some small, fluffy rolls, was to pull the two ply apart, and use 25% less. So say using instead of using 4 sheets of the two ply, using 3 pulled apart into 6, etc. (TMI, I know, lol). That roll just went through so fast otherwise, and it was so think on the ply’s anyway. There’s ways to save all around if you take the thought.

Either way, great advice you gave, you’re preaching to the choir! LOL

You are a genius!

But I was only kidding about my use of single-ply paper.

In fact, I pet my derriere with pieces of the Romanian newspaper, Zimbrulu and Vulturulu (The Aurochs and the Eagle), once mailed to Galati when it was published in 1858. Because of its weight, the newspaper required no less than eight Cap de Bour (Bull Head) stamps. These stamps are now quite rare, quite expensive and quite coveted by philatelists. Steamed, removed, and gently applied, they serve as a warm and gently sticky coup de grace.
