That is its own rabbit hole as some don't mind cold wet water splashed up their privates but many would prefer it to be at least "cool"/"warmed"...so now you're paying a bit more for such. OK, to do that you need an outlet nearby as running a cable is stupid. WELL, everyone isn't a handy-person, so now....

....Easily hundreds spent just to take a short cut of cleaning your areas and you STILL will need a square or two of toilet paper as again, few want that feeling of wet water near their privates. That still leads back to what TP you want touching yourself.

OH, are you like me and have multiple toilets? Congrats - you now have multiple increased costs. Got children? Easy to explain how a bidet works but hard in practice to ensure they're sitting in the right position make it work, and for how long it should run, etc. Be ready for wet shirts and backs and many sit closer on the toilet than back like an adult....unless you got one of those that also programs itself to adjust to the child's sitting position (which costs hundreds itself)

All of this to type that short hand comment of "get a bidet!" can look silly and short-sighted

NOW, if you're the type of person who bought those $20 attachments and you just spray and stand up....that's cool. That's not going to work for most of us though, chief.
This is not true at all
Just get a bidet attachment.

Yes, regular price. I was expecting the on sale Walgreens Soft to win. It did well, but didn't win.

That's their online price. Costco pricing varies by store. Just added a comment about Walgreens with a deal that arguably would beat Costco at your price as well.

I was just going to say the same. All 2-plys TPs are not created the same. Having said that, during the beginning of the pandemic, I went to Wal Mart and they actually had their generic TP in stock. I was grateful to be able to buy some, but damn......

Not so much a sale as an analysis of toilet paper prices (including some on sale) with a surprising result.
Nice job! You should make an app that lets people plugin in numbers for other items they want to compare.

OP went from saying "Two ply, does the job, and the stuff isn't terrible" in their rating system and then went on to list Walmart's Generic TP. That stuff is bottom of the barrel TP. No reason whatsoever anyone should ever consider this unless you're looking to TP a house or something.
