A note for Shomer Shabbos Daily Cheapskate readers:  back in 2016, I was in contact with Star-K kashrus agency in Baltimore, and Rav Moshe Heinemann has approved the iStir Crock Pot for Shabbos use.  I was given permission to share Rabbi Heinemann's opinion. Feel free to contact me for more information or you can verify that this is so by emailing halacha@star-k.org. As in all matters of halacha, please consult your own halachic authority.

This week's BEST Amazon and Jet deals in tissues, toilet paper and paper towels (The Golden Trifecta of Household Needs, week of 1/21/18)

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 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:
