For anyone considering Charmin Ultra Strong, the price after the coupon compared to Costco 2 Day:
Costco .00454 per/sheet
Amazon .00735 per/sheet
Did you subtract the 5% for Amazon card holders? Did you add in any percentage to the cost of a Costco membership? Otherwise you are comparing apples to oranges

Better add the cost of Prime and subtract the Costco Credit Card % and Executive Membership rebate % too….

Is this also taking into consideration the P&G rebate? I calculated and got $0.0025ish for Amazon after all discounts (this was a few days ago when the Charmin-specific deal was posted, not sure if price has changed since then).
Edit: rechecked today
Amazon price for 30 roll Family Mega (9240 sheets total) is $43.99, less 5% for S&S is $41.79
Buy 2 x $41.79 = $83.58 - $20 (Amazon 20 off 80 coupon) - $15 (P&G rebate for $50+ purchase) = $48.58 / (9240 * 2 = 18480 sheets in 2 packs) = $0.0026 per sheet
Even without the P&G rebate, I calculate $0.00344 per sheet ($83.58 - $20 = $63.58 / (9240 * 2) = $0.00344)
I think this commenter forgot to account for the fact that this deal has you buying TWO packs of Charmin, his math is double mine because he did not divide by 2 packs

Looks like I need to be like Billy Madison and return to elementary school.

it is important to do the math. exec costco members earn 4 pct cash back, regular members earn 2 pct cash back. the costco membership is a fixed, sunk cost, that costco members pay anyway. it is important to consider the environment too. home delivery could save time and money individuals spend on gas but ups and instacart drivers are consuming gas - and polluting the air - and using more cardboard and packaging than costco members. also, consider how employees are treated and paid.

You assume the sheet size in both packs is the same but they're not. The one sold from Costco is 4.5 x 4.2 in, 30 rolls in total sq ft are 835 (down from 840 from previous version). The one sold from Amazon is 3.92 x 4 in (I don't have the actual number from their website, but based on one customer pic posted on 3/10/24, the 8 mega rolls in total sq ft are 250 (down from previous 272) so for 30 mega rolls, it would be 250/8 x 30 = 937.5 sq ft. Now for the calculation:
Costco: (29.99 - 6.5) / 835 = $0.02813 / sqft
Amazon without $15 rebate: (41.79 x 2 - 3 - 20) / 2 = 30.29
30.29 / 937.5 = $ 0.03231 / sqft
So without $15 rebate Costco is cheaper (not to mention you have to treat $20 Amazon credit as Cash).
To get the $15 rebate, you need spend $50. So 2 from Amazon will qualify. However, if you buy 2 from Costco (limit 2 per member), you need a $3.02 filler on the rebate list purchased from 4/1/24 to 6/30/24.
