The three most requested items on my "Can you find a deal on....?" list are the ones we use and need all the time, tissues, toilet paper, and paper towels, AKA The Golden Trifecta of Household Needs, and the two go-to places for deals on these items seem to be Amazon and Jet.com. This week's deals all come from the Amazon Subscribe & Save program.
My savings criteria:
- 50 cents or less per roll of toilet paper
- 90 cents or less per roll of paper towels
- $1.00 or less per box of tissues. (I've raised this criteria from 95 cents, because I think that's unrealistic now. I haven't seen a deal on a medium-sized box of tissues for 95 cents for a while.)
Of course, these are not hard and fast limits or rules. Deals are going to vary by size of individual item (i.e. 500 sheet roll vs 125 sheet roll), brand loyalty (i.e. I find Viva is the best brand of paper towel and I'm willing to pay slightly more per sheet) and quality within brand (extra-soft, recycled, clean-ripple, extra-strong, suffused with lotion, etc.). I'll do my best to balance price with quality in Golden Trifecta deals.
Here are this top-of-the-week's deals:
