Your deal:
$28.44/30 regular rolls = $0.948/regular roll
Walmart:
$19.88/24 regular rolls= $0.828/regular roll
- 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.

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

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

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.

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.
