Toilet paper quandry.

I always wonder about the strangest things. Like how companies have us believe that if we just pay a little extra for better quality products we will save money. Paper towel is one such product. If we purchase Bounty, because of its super absorbent power, we will use less paper towels and at the end of the day save money. Kleenex is the same. If we purchase double or triple ply the thinking is that we will use less tissues and save money.
But I wonder about toilet paper? If we spend a few extra bucks and buy a better quality product will we save money? If we buy double, triple or quadruple ply will it be more cost efficient? What about plush or quilted does it make a difference? Does it matter if you are a folder or a buncher? I don't think so! I think toilet paper is made in such a way that once you tug on that roll the same amount of squares are coming off and there is nothing you can do to about it.  The companies know it and they know we are not about to rewind once those squares have left the roll. So save your money!
 Although I am sure there is something to be said about 3 real soft, quilted, ultra plush layers of toilet paper with silky comfort. I may just give it a try.
