Costco Toilet Paper

Image Credit: Click on Image

Every Costco lover knows that the big-box retailer is the ideal place to load up on everything from dog food and paper towels to socks and margarita mix. But according to CNBC, toilet paper is the store’s crown jewel: Costco sells about one billion rolls of toilet paper a year. That’s enough to wrap around the planet 1,200 times! (And we imagine that number is even bigger in 2020 especially.)

Linking up with a bunch of fantastic peeps from the blogosphere who host Wordless Wednesday – Betty, Steve, image-in-ing, Keith, Senior Salon, Esme Salon, CatSynth, and Suzana.

    Yup, we buy our toilet paper at Costco, also a lot of food items. So much cheaper! Happy Wednesday, Sandee. Thanks for hosting the link party.

      I didn’t know Costco was the leader of toilet paper sales. Happy Wordless Wednesday, Debbie. Thanks for playing along. 🙂

    We don’t have a Costco close to us – but we keep our “supply” up every Sunday when we do grocery shopping at the local grocery store. Important item to get WHEREVER you get it!

    Hugs, Pam

      I hear you. We had very little toilet paper when Covid hit, but we have plenty now. Hugs to you and lots of scritches to Teddy. 🙂

      Sandee says:

      It’s the very best toilet paper in my opinion. We’ll never fun short again. Happy WW and rest of the week, Duke. My best to your mom. 🙂

    That is a lot of toilet paper. I get mine from Iceland (the store haha!) because it is cheaper and better quality than a lot of well known brands.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Can’t beat Costco toilet paper. It’s our preferred brand. Happy WW and rest of the week, Jackie. Love and hugs. 🙂

      Sandee says:

      As long as we have enough. We had so little when Covid hit. Put us in a panic. Scritches to Beau. 🙂

    LOL! Interesting topic. Many years ago a friend showed me how, using toilet paper, created
    a sort of pattern using glue on a wall, ‘calcio vecchio’. I am not sure if in English is another words.
    Anyway, I think it’s italian phrase. But it was fabulous. And I could not guess.
    Happy WW dear Sandee! Hugs and a fine week!❤️😘

      Sandee says:

      The history of toilet paper is indeed fascinating. Have a fabulous day and rest of the week, my friend. Hugs. 🙂

    MOL…that’s interesting, Sandee, not only the toiletpapurr, but we read Cost..co…as in cost-a-lot-co, not knowing that it was a discount store…slaps face Double Pawkisses for a wonderful day and week ahead to you, Zane and the kitties too🐾😽💞

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Costco isn’t cheap on many things, but some things it’s a great deal. Double Pawkisses to you both and a huge hug to Granny. 🙂

    My GBGV Life says:

    Let’s all remember for just a second, the pandemic…no TP to be found anywhere. Where were those billion roles when the country needed them, LOL? We are a Sam’s Club family since it is close to our house. Mom has been going there forever. It’s so similar to Costco, it doesn’t really make a difference which one we have a membership at she says but close is the winner.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I agree with you about Sam’s Club. About the same. I just found it interesting that you couldn’t find toilet paper anywhere. The hoarders bought it all up in seconds. Scritches to the pups. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Being able to get toilet paper is key. We couldn’t find toilet paper anywhere when the pandemic hit. A hug to you and lots of scritches to Gibbs. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I hear you. We had so little toilet paper when Covid hit. The grocery stores were bare. We’re now used to that here. It was frightening. 🙂

    Ahh, toilet paper in huge cases!! Just what we need to prevent covid from returning!!😂😂

      I hear you, C.A. I don’t want to go through that again. Happy WW and rest of the week. 🙂

    When you live in the home of Walmart’s birthplace and corporate headquarter, Costco is nowhere to be found. Target is is here in token for form, but Kmart left years ago, so it’s mostly Walmart and only Sam’s Club in our world. Have a blessed week.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      We don’t have Sam’s Club, but Walmart. Hubby loves Costco. I won’t shop there. I hate going to Costco. Happy day and rest of the week, my friend. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      You’re right about that. We had so little when Covid hit. Not anymore. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      It’s great toilet paper. I like it far better than most other toilet paper. 🙂

      It’s a great place to get toilet paper. Happy WW, my friends. Scritches to the kitties. 🙂

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I didn’t calculate that, but you may be right. It’s a lot of toilet paper. 🙂

    I love Costco! I buy everything there…well, almost everything. Since it’s just the two of us, some stuff is just too much for me to get there. I do get the toilet paper though 🙂 Have a great day and rest of the week!

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      It’s just the two of us too, but hubby shops there about every six weeks. Stuff is way too much. I agree. You have a great day and rest of the week, too, Yvonne. 🙂

  12. Cecilia Upchurch says:

    And one thing I learned during the PANDEMIC was never EVER NO NEVER ever will be be caught w/o a stash of TP. OMCs I will never forget being down to about 3 rolls and we were looking everywhere. Wegmans got a shipment finally. I walked to my cart really and truly hugging my 12 pack of TP. I can make do without lots of things but TP is not one of them
    Hugs cecilia

    That is our family’s go-to place for tp too. Mom says she thinks she has paid for a new wing at Costco by now.

    And over the top is the only way to roll here.

    Interesting! We have a Costco here but we’ve never been there. We used to go to Sam’s but that was long ago, too. We do use our share of TP though! haha

    I have not been to Costco for a very long while. But I do agree that the trivia about TP was always evident when I shopped there. Thank you for a fun share. A Costco outing was an event in itself for me.

  17. Veronica Lee says:

    Wow, I had no idea Costco sold that much toilet paper! That statistic about wrapping around the planet 1,200 times is mind-blowing. I guess it really is a must-have item for so many households. Thanks for sharing this fun fact!

    Happy Thursday, Sandee!

    My husband and I adore the Sam’s Club brand toilet paper. It’s not only cheaper, but really strong. We learned the expensive way, however, that using too much plugs the pipes of a house built in 1978. lol Be well, my dear, and hugs to you and yours.

    One billion rolls of toilet paper a year?! That should sound crazy but for some reason, it doesn’t surprise me as much as it should.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.

  21. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    Wow, that number is really something! Who knew something as basic and mundane as TP would have had such a huge impact during COVID?!
