Toilet paper prices going up??

Just heard a pundit on News Radio talk about coming rising toilet paper prices – he went into lots more detail of the why – so if it’s causing you to have 2020 flashbacks, grab more paper products with this deal.  I just placed another order for toilet paper and paper towels using this Amazon promotion – my first order was delivered already.  By choosing soft vs strong toilet paper I was able to score a second discount, although a few bucks less.

Make it easy on yourself and order from the couch with this 20% off Amazon Basics offer for Prime Members – spend $50 to $100 and get the savings!  I also used Subscribe & Save (set at four months) for extra savings, but will undoubtedly cancel that long before.

The maximum benefit you may receive under this offer is $100 off each eligible order.. So limited to $500 – that’s a lot of toilet paper 🙂
