Honestly most of the products I buy are perfectly fine store brand

I'll never cut corners on toilet paper though, I buy a specific brand and specific kind. I was homeless for nearly a decade and the only toilet paper I could use in that time was what was available in public restrooms. I like the brand I get now and you'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands before I part with it.

Edit: Removed some wrong info.

I hear you. I buy good toilet paper that's 2 ply and sturdy. Not only that, I buy it by the case in bulk on Amazon. My wife makes fun of me for having so much, but it's something that will always get used, and it's not going to spoil or go stale before it does.

(I'd also like to mention how much I love my bidet. If you haven't, you should try one. It'll change your life!)

Target brand tp is perfectly fine. I am also particular about it, but it's like Charmin.
