I saw this post and wanted to ask the opposite. What are some items that really aren’t worth paying the expensive version for? Preferably more extreme or unexpected examples.

    Buy a bidet and suddenly the ply won’t really matter. Plus you’ll spend way less on TP long term.

      Our bidet doesn’t have an air dryer, so we did have to upgrade our paper from the cheap 1-ply stuff that turned to pulp on contact with any moisture. That said, we go through way less paper post-bidet.

      Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find a bidet attachment that fits my toilet. When we move, I’m getting one for sure but I’ll still use toilet roll at times too

      That being said, I’m not sure the cost-benefit really fits here. The initial cost (£100-500, depending on quality and type) plus fitting (£100-200 depending on plumbers in your area) would take about 10 years to break even when spending £40 on toilet roll per year. And by then, I’m sure I would have moved house or the bidet would have broken or something
