Why are razors and toilet paper so expensive?
 

everyone needs them?

then fleshlights would be 100)$ hahaha

You forgot about toothbrushes. Ridiculous.

Start shopping at BJ's or Costco...

yeah, they know they can charge that much since it's kinda hard to boycott toilet paper. :(

;)

Bj's is slang for blowjob in canada. Im willing to pay that its a non issue for me.

COstco you need a membership I believe.

prices for razors (especially the good ones) are definitely out of control. makes no sense at all

Self-Checkout at Walmart makes wonders...

Kidding, but I really do see so many people steal shit using these.

Well you can get cheap toilet paper... and you'll get what you pay for. Don't invite a girl at your place if you have cheap toilet paper...

By the way, 12 rolls usually last a long time... I don't know what you do with your toilet paper...

I found a dude on the corner near my place that sells stolen razors. We offered me 8 gillette mach 3 razors for 20$ and it got me thinking about this issue.

No they arent used! lol

The minute i have any female vistors toilet paper, baby wipes and kleenex dissapear.

Its amazing.

It's because everyone uses TP...as for razors, they have to make back the cash because the amount of money spent on Marketing and packaging. It's insane the amount of packaging that goes into razors and blades...

Just like feminine hygiene products, they are expensive as hell and we pay tax on them also, it's ridiculous!

so instead of getting 1 toothbrush you go to Costco and get 100 of them? :1orglaugh :winkwink:

but you get a discount ;)

never underestimate the beauty of quality toilet paper... after 2 years in romania i would kill for some triple ply $10 angelsoft

No doubt. But here in the States, most people don't have bidays (spelling). When I was in Egypt, everywhere I went they had them and nothing is better than rinsing off your asshole after some spicy food has been digested.

I can't wait until Gillette comes out with a 6 blade razor, just so they can tack an additional $3 on to refill blades.

Costs me $25 for a pack of replacement blades now:mad:

I bought a 16 pack of Fusion blades at Costco. They were still over priced.

The Walmarts around here all lock up the razor blades. When they take them out for you, they either send them to the customer service/checkout line or they walk you to the checkout.

Apparently they are a high theft item.

It is crazy... I think I might just have to consider using a straight razor.. anyone tried them? A good one can last you for a long long time.

People have to keep their buttholes clean and prepped :winkwink:

If you think razor blades and toilet paper are worrisome to your wallet, try being a girl for a month and see what that bill adds up to.

Trust me - you don't even want to know. :1orglaugh

A lot of razor blade cost is marketing.

And then I'm sure they justify at least part of the cost on their blades in that they 'lose' money in selling the initial razor package. The good news is that so long as your face isn't super-sensitive, you can use those new razors for quite some time before having to replace 'em... I mean, I get away with using my mach 3 razors for a month or maybe even 2 per blade... buying 8 blades per year - even at retail prices - isn't a whole lot per week, when ya think about it.

As far as toilet paper goes... I dunno what the cost is, but I've used cheap toilet paper before, and I'm more than happy at paying the extra cash for the premium stuff... The key is conservation. If folded correctly, there's no reason that you should use more than 2 or, at most, 4 "squares" of tissue per "seating". Again... the per 12-pack cost might be a bit much, but when you think about how much it's costing you per week, it's probably not as much as you think it is.

Exactly.

It's amazing to me that most people don't know how to wipe their asses without using half the fucking role.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh
All i have to say is this thread rocks
and the subject is even better :thumbsup

Have to wipe your ass yes, have to shave no. See you Friday man.

The razor thing still doesnt seem jusitfied

we need tampons every month, use razors on more surface area and we use toilet paper for 1's AND 2's ... there should be tax cuts. :1orglaugh

You learn something new everyday!

wow, that's very interesting

Toilet paper I buy the cheap stuff. No need to buy the pillowy soft stuff unless your ass is sensitive like my husbands. We always had to buy the softest most expensive for his ass. Razors. Ugh. Can't get away with buying cheap on that. I tried and cut my fucking legs up. I rather spend the extra and have knick free skin. LOL Right now I'm using Soleil and I like them better than the Venus razors which was my fav for a long time.

You must be doing something wrong if you think fucking toilet paper and razors are expensive...

I'll gladly spend extra on soft tp.

hey.. I hate shaving too... buy some stuff called Tend Skin.... expensive shit.. but stops the razor burn. I am waaaayyyyyyy sensitive and this stuff saves me.

Very interesting ... thanks! :)

"The razor and blades business model (also called the "bait and hook model" or the "tied products model") works by selling an initial "master" product at a subsidized price, and making the profit on high margin "consumables" that are essential to the use of the master product. The master product may actually be sold at a loss, in order to "capture" the customer into using the consumable product."

Take a shower after you take a shit ;)

or hold it in and shit only twice a week, use less TP save big bucks!! ;)
you'll save so much money you'll start wiping your ass with hundred dolla bills yo!

what????? 10$ for 12 rolls of toilet paper? i always thought that germany is an expensive country. at the discount supermarket I pay about 3€ for 8 rolls triple ply extra soft tp....10$....I can't believe that its so fucking expensive. they make a shitload of cash with shitloads of recycled shitty paper.

By the Way I love this Shiot talking Thread, and Yes Holly you are HOT!

I rarely shave and when I do I use an electric razor, and as for the toilet paper you may as well spring for the good stuff or you'll just end up using twice as much as the cheap shit :warning
