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

That just proves my point...so now people have to click to find out the limited category of products this applies to...
Better add the cost of Prime and subtract the Costco Credit Card % and Executive Membership rebate % too….
Standard Amazon procedure.

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

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.
