24-Ct Charmin Family Mega Toilet Paper Rolls (Ultra Strong or Soft) Expired

Summary: Target is better deal (by 5-17% per equivalent regular roll) if you don't mind store pickup and the Target GC. Amazon is a few dollars more for the convenience.

Target deal per "virtual regular roll" (depending on Charmin to calculate their "regular" roll equivalent, which might be falling for more marketing if they vary their regular roll base size, but I hope it's stable):

$53.67 - $15 GC = $38.67 for 3 x 18 mega rolls (= 3 x 72 regular = 216 virtual regular rolls at 17.9 cents each).

Amazon deal per virtual regular roll:

$26.92 (after $3 clip and 5% SS) for 24 family rolls = 123 virtual regular rolls at 21.89 cents each.

Target is store pickup and locks your $15 into a future Target purchase. Amazon comes to your house. Also, if you combine enough subscribe and save to get 15% off instead of 5%, it's 19.3 cents per virtual regular roll. All of that said, the few cents per regular roll difference is $2-5 (depending on your SS level), so you can pay for convenience with Amazon or get the best deal at Target. With Target, you are getting more TP, so you don't have to do these calculations for a while longer, but you'll have to store more paper.

The above calculations ignore tax (Target is taxed on full price and gives you GC later) and also ignore Prime Now $5 coupons for slow delivery or other offers like that. You can use Mr. R. for another 2% at Target.

Basing on Charmin virtual regular rolls obviously makes it harder to compare other brands, but within the Charmin universe, it seems like an easy way to do the math when trying to compare various Mega, Family, Mega Plus, etc., sizes.

Target's advantage narrows with tax because the future $15 GC doesn't remove tax like the Amazon discounts to the subtotal do. Even when you pay with a $15 GC, it goes toward the post-tax total.

Example 7.525% sales tax:
Target is 19.77 cents per virtual regular roll (19.24 if you use Mr. R)
Amazon 5% SS is 23.54 cents per virtual regular roll
Amazon 15% SS is 20.78 cents per virtual regular roll

To do your own virtual regular roll calculations, add items to your cart and proceed to checkout to see tax.
For Target 3x18 mega rolls, subtract $15 from your total then divide that by 216.
For Amazon, clip the coupon, see if you get 5% or 15% in your cart for SS and view the taxed total. Then divide that by 123.

Not the same dildo. Family has 25% more per roll.
