Can’t get my partner to do this. They are too worried about “saving money/we don’t need it (now)”. For heavens sake, I’m not saying buy a spare house; just pick up an extra tube of toothpaste!
You can tell them you’re not wasting any of it because eventually it will be used, none of it will get spoiled and people tend to actually need that bog roll within a week or two. Also, it’s a ONE time “double” buy, because from then on you buy everything once just the same; you just make sure you don’t end up spending even MORE when you run out of the 24 roll TP bag and have to quickly buy a less eco 6-pack.
We are both university grads and know how math works. They just can’t get past the psychological barrier of “the bill will be higher when we check out”.

Spare tube of toothpaste? In this economy?
Right? Look at Mr. Moneybags over here that can afford toothpaste. I use hand soap as toothpaste and I’m glad to have it.
I’ve been trying to remember all the little folks since I’ve become so fabulously wealthy, but it just doesn’t seem worth it anymore. /s
