I was in a Marketside Walmart a few months ago. They were changing the packaging of their toilet paper with 9 mega rolls (maybe shrinkflation?). It was on clearance for $3.67 for 9 rolls. I had never seen toilet paper that cheap! I bought all 22 packages of it, LOL. Keep watch that they are getting rid of certain sizes of things.

We sit here like we're helpless. STOP buying what they're selling and watch what happens.
