Walmart has better pricing. This is about 95 cent/regular roll. Walmart has multiple at about 82 cent/regular roll.

Walmart's product is not a Family Size . The link you have pasted is 12 pack = 24 regular rolls while as the deal posted here is for Family size : 12 rolls = 30 regular rolls... How is this a fair comparison...

It doesn't matter what the size of the roll is. Always base it off of the regular roll.

Your deal:
$28.44/30 regular rolls = $0.948/regular roll

Walmart:
$19.88/24 regular rolls= $0.828/regular roll

It does matter because Walmart package is not available in the 30 rolls. So to get 30 Rolls in Walmart you need to but Another Big Pack... Also, Walmart is not Free Shipping - It is charging $5 for Shipping. Amazon's is $28 shipped...

So the math failed you now you are throwing other reasons. I don't really care but fine I'll shoot your new reasoning down also just because it's entertaining to me.

- Walmart doesn't offer the 30 pack:
So you are buying more and paying more, shouldn't it be the other way around. Who cares if you are getting 30 or 24, you are still using the product the exact same way. The only difference is the Walmart package won't take as much space in your home and you get to save money.

- Walmart doesn't offer free shipping
Neither does amazon. You have to have Amazon prime to get free shipping and you can get Walmart plus to get free shipping too. The only difference is you can pick it up in store for free.

It's ok to accept that you are wrong there is nothing wrong with that.

"Hey I thought it was a good deal but apparently there is a better deal out there". An example of something you can say.

Ok... Without trolling or arguing - My 2 cents : Check the post carefully ... Shipping is free on Amazon even without prime... That's what I have mentioned in my post ("shipped")... So thats a $5 saving compared to Walmart... I won't taunt you for doing maths but If you still think otherwise I would say yes to whatever you say... I don't want to argue...

Again "Amazon proce is after Shipping without Prime also, while as Walmart is not"

Thanks

You can add 1 of the 8 triple = 24 regular for the same exact price as the 12 doubles and get free shipping if that's what you are trying to do

I'm trolling because I provided you with a cheaper option that you can either buy locally or find another item to add and still get free shipping.

I guess I'm wrong for offering cheaper options of the same product on a deal site.

I have nothing to add to the conversation but wanted to point out the fact that someone named 'TrollingBy' is arguing not being a troll. For the record I'm not agreeing or disagreeing with TrollingBy here but thought it was an ironic development in the thread.

If you really want to compare, you need to calculate per sheet.

Amazon deal (30 family roll equivalent) is $28.44 for 1536 sheets total (128 per roll), which is $0.01852 per sheet.

Sam's Club (26 regular roll equivalent) is $19.96 for 1296 sheets total (108 per roll), which is $0.01542 per sheet.

Walmart (24 triple roll equivalent) is $19.88 for 1320 sheets total (165 per roll), which is $0.01506 per sheet.

Walmart is the lowest cost at these price points.

Actually, I would argue that you shouldn't calculate by sheet, but by area. If you really want to get scientific, absorbancy would factor, but we're talking about the same brand, so we can probably assume they're the same (plus, I don't even know where you'd find that information).

The main reason is that the sheets are different sizes. 27.9cm x 14.9cm Walmart vs. 27.9cm x 14.4cm. Seems like nothing, but you multiply that by the 1536 sheets in Amazon's pack, and that adds up to 2.14 extra square meters you're missing out on!

So, to make things simple, we'll just use Bounty's rounded meters they print on the packaging:
Amazon: 10.2m^2 per Two-pack * 6 Two-packs = 61.2m^2 for $28.44 = $0.465/m^2
Amazon: 10.2m^2 per Two-pack * 4 Two-packs = 40.8m^2 for $19.99 = $0.490/m^2
Walmart 12 Double Rolls: 48m^2 for $19.88 = $0.414/m^2
Walmart 8 Triple Rolls: 48.8m^2 for $19.88 = $0.407/m^2

So, before you factor shipping, Walmart's 8 Triple Rolls is the best deal.

Now, if Walmart doesn't offer free shipping and Amazon does, then starting with Walmart's best deal (8 Triple Rolls) and comparing it to Amazon's per m^2 price, we can find the threshold where Walmart's shipping price will make it a worse deal:
x / 48.8 = $0.465
x = $22.692

We're just going to assume that tax will be the same for both, so we won't include it in our calculation.

So $22.69 - $19.88 = $2.81
Walmart's 8 Triple Roll pack is the best bang for the buck as long as your shipping cost is less than $2.81.
...if my math is right.

[EDIT]
BY THE WAY: Kirkland's new smaller 12-roll packs are 83.5m^2 for $14.79 = $0.177/m^2.
