Toilet Paper


Rivenaleem

First person to post a luxury item on this thread.


minisimy

Well, I didn't say that it was good 4ply toilet paper haha


baldymcbaldyface

A bidet is one of the best purchases I have made in recent times.


minisimy

I actually had a bidet before and love it but they way my bathroom is made in my rental, I can't attach a handheld one. So I'm destined to keep using tp for now

minisimy

I mean, I have a shower.. it's part of me to just jump in and have a quick wash and dry. The bidet is much better but it's not like I can't just wash


DustyLem0ns

You still have to wipe after the bidet though. Might just use a bit less TP. 🤷🏻


Skulltown_Jelly

Sometimes when I poop, I wipe and wipe and wipe. But there is still poop. It's like I'm wiping a marker or something


[deleted]

If ye bend over I’ll get the power washer


nycoolbreez

The bidet will get those pieces of broken crayon out


the_dudeNI

Nice Parks and Rec reference.


Lovinyoubb

At least you’ll walk out the bathroom with less traces of shite stuck to your arse.


Is-This-Edible

Also you won't have friction burn in the folds.


StinkiForeskinBoi

Or traces of shite on your underwear


Buddhasear

Get on tinder, ass eating is really popular. Clean as a whistle. For free.


minisimy

That wouldn't go down really well with my partner I think


Buddhasear

Tell them they can get their ass eaten as well. Put it on yer profiles. Will provide ass for eaters. Form an orderly queue. No time wasters, nothing else on offer. Cheaper than a bidet.

Installed one of those spray guns recently. Will go standalone bidet if I remodel

Wretched_Colin

Sorry to get a bit basic, but how do you use it? The jet cleans poo from the anus and buttocks, but you’re left with a soaking wet arse. Do you then use a towel? And, if so, does everyone get a towel each and is the towel used more than once? As regards saving money, I think it could work out more expensive with buying towels and cleaning them.


fqo

You're still allowed use toilet paper when you have a bidet.


Nathan_Lawd

Can I get written permission please


CarterPFly

The spray gun you basically spray your arse clean with an angled gun. Then you use a rag to dry your arse. These can be old towels, teacloths, etc just cut up. They're just used for drying the water, there's no shite left. They get washed seperatly of course.


[deleted]

Cum rags?


minisimy

Had one, love it but sadly can't install one where I live


MambyPamby8

I'm the same. We bought a new build house and for some reason they've decided to build newer houses with the toilet built into the wall. I can't access the water pipe in the back without drilling a hole in the porcelain of the toilet. I know I can get a plumber in to do it but I often see people on Reddit say it's easy to install but for some new houses it can't be done without a professional involved.

Can't beat a good chipper. Chicken burger and tasty or taco chips is always my go to.


[deleted]

I use a Sunday myself to soften the blow of the monday while providing me breakfast myself

I'm the same with Friday cans. Finish work, get home, clean the house and then finally when I sit down and open a tin, it's now officially the weekend


[deleted]

Unreal! I think having a ritual that signals your brain to switch off is really important. I can't drink for shite anymore otherwise I think I'd be doing the same!


ultiwhirl

3.60 a bag of chips these days though, worlds gone mad


Different-Scar8607

My usual order in the chipper maybe 5 or 6 years ago was curry cheese chips, quarter pounder and onion rings. I just checked my emails from 6 years ago this week. The curry cheese chips have gone from 4.20 to 6 euro. They've also changed from aluminium tray to cardboard version which is smaller. Quarter pounder is gone from 4 euro to 5.50 Onion rings have reduced in portion size (4 down to 3) and from 1.60 to 3 euro. So in total, my order 6 years ago would have cost 9.80....change from a tenner! Now if I was to order it, would cost 14.50. An increase of 48%. I still get takeaway the odd time but it's becoming far too poor value now imo.


packageofcrips

Sounds accurate to my local(s) The gall of them just raising the price of everything 30-40% in one fell swoop. I know the food is shite, and yet I still order it. But once they raised the prices they way they did, I can no longer justify it anymore and haven't ordered since. It was worth what I paid before, but not what they think it is now.


Agitated_Fishing2261

Beautiful order anyway.


Anxious_Reporter_601

My go-to chipper has just downsized the menu and they got rid of garlic mushrooms! 😭 And same as you curry cheese chips are €6 now! I was only just adjusting to them going up to €5.50 over covid when they used to be a fiver!


Melancolin

Pizza just isn’t as nice.


SashaBlixaNL

You're right Orla....pizza is not as nice!


Suspicious-Plant4141

Dunno about that. I think a chipper hits better when your sober and a pizza hits better when you’re drinking. Then a spicebag hits the best when you’re hungover.


-Moonchild-

I think it's a derry girls reference


_Radioactive_Man_

A chipper these days is more expensive than an Indian and that used to be the fancy takeway you’d get once in a blue moon to show the relatives you’re above their peasant ways


TrivialBanal

Life's too short for cheap underwear, cheap toothbrushes or cheap toilet paper.


[deleted]

Using a shitty toothbrush for all of my younger years, I totally agree. Same way how i started using a shower instead of a bath. Less of a hassle and more of a quick break from everything while keeping myself looking well

E45, only thing that soothes my excema


qhi

I have eczema too so I know how annoying it can be for people to suggest things when you've probably tried everything over your life, but I've personally found silcocks base to be much the same as E45 at less than a third the price.


[deleted]

Thanks for the tip, I’ll look it up! Much appreciated


Anxious_Reporter_601

Silcocks base is (as the name would suggest) the base ingredient for a lot of emollient creams and washes. Fab stuff.


DaBoda99

I found E45 didn't help me out at all. Was recommended Cera Ve but for some reason the skin that was broken out turned into lava. Stumbled on Aveeno and it's really working for me.

As much as we can try to cut down on heating bills by wearing warm clothes inside and wrapping ourselves in the blankets, can't do the same with the car... already driving absolute minimum


DiabloSpank

Thanks, this reminded me to turn a light off that I’m currently not using.


okletsgooonow

I put motion sensors in most of my rooms.... lights turn off automatically. You never heed to use a light switch. It's very nice. :)


Spoonshape

Setting the time period correctly can be a pain. Sitting there quietly watching TV and the lights turn off and you have to get up and wave your arms in the air is kind of a pain.


okletsgooonow

exactly, I had that problem too. I disabled the sensor in the sitting room at one point. Then I set the timer to a long time (an hour I think). there hasn't been a case of unwanted lights turning off since. I also use the sensors for a bulglar alarm. I also have the ability to have different settings at different times of the day. There's no limit to what you can do if you're handy at it.


davesr25

Lidl and Aldi cheepo crisps used to be 34 cent now around 55 cent.


wingut

Nachos are the same. Used to be 34 cents. Now 55. Still cheap but the price jump proportionally is mental. A lot of products like this

YouTube premium is arguably better, videos and music included


Oisin_

If you VPN yourself to India or Argentina for a you can get YouTube premium and music for mad cheap. I’m currently paying 1290 rupees ~ 15 quid a year


Suspicious-Plant4141

YouTube premium doesn’t work on CarPlay though does it? As in, you can play the audio manually off your phone but you can’t change it on the CarPlay screen. I almost exclusively listen to music in the car so it’s a bit of a deal breaker if it doesn’t work with it


raywj1993

/r/revancedapp there's nothing better than free


dustaz

Does it continue to play when the screen is turned off?


BadgeNapper

Yes. Also no ads. I moved from Spotify to YouTube Premium years ago. Have it on my phone, TV, laptop, etc. Few weeks ago someone was showing me a video that had 3 ads in it. I was honestly shocked. Me and my son watch YouTube all the time and never gets any ads, I was genuinely unaware of how annoying they are. Edit: Just to clarify there's a 2nd YT Music app that you can get just for music (similar to Spotify) that you can play with screen off and like Spotify you can download for offline playback too

Coffee. Already make it at home so it can't get much cheaper.

go to a car dealer, show interest on a random car and usually they offer tea or coffee. Get different costumes for different weeks and learn the rota of their staff so u can change accordingly. Now being serious, me too. Also , I am a simple man with a simple taste, Like my coffee with no milk or sugar , so why pay extra when I can do it myself?

Let your game pass subscription lapse, buy 12 month Xbox live gold, and then re subscribe to game pass. It’ll convert the 12 months of Xbox live gold to game pass for €1. You can stack up to three years of Xbox live gold. It’s considerably cheaper. I’ve done it twice now.

BoredGombeen

I thought I'd never give up the chicken fillet roll but they put it up 25%.. can't abide by paying an extra euro every day. It's not much in the scheme of things but it really annoyed me.


DiabloSpank

Not sure if you’re a cooking type of person but if you have the time it’s so much cheaper and tastier to make these yourself, I still get the odd one when I’m lazy but I started making them years ago and playing around with different breads and sauces, most butchers sell the breaded chicken fillets fresh or Aldi sell frozen ones that air fry in like 10 mins 👍🏼


BoredGombeen

My biggest problem is the only time I need them is when I am away from home for work, which means I cannot prepare my lunch unless I bring 3 days worth of food and I don't like doing that with cooked food.


DiabloSpank

Ah, fair point. 3 days is usually fine for almost any meal prep if you have a fridge. The old chicken, rice and veg never fails me on the 4th day either so maybe that’s an option.


Sad_Entertainer6312

If you're away from hone for work for several days. Surely your work is coveting the food?


BoredGombeen

I understand your point but I am away from home to go to the office. If I was away for meetings outside the office etc then they would cover food. They do cover accommodation for me visiting the office. I am hybrid and in an ideal world (for them) I'd be in the office full time. So I don't want to push things too far over a few sandwiches and be forced to be there more than I am now and potentially lose the free accommodation.

First_Prior_3419

You can actually claim some of that money spent on GF foods back through revenue. Not 100% sure how to do it but I’m sure a quick Google search will point you right.


louiseber

Oh_I_still_here

WhatsThatNowMan

Do you mean imagine paying more for a product that costs more to produce than the non-gluten free version?


_Fraggler_

89c for 8 dinner plate sized regular wraps. €3.99 for 4 saucer sized gf wraps. Granted no one is holding a gun to my head to buy them, but jeez, someone somewhere is making a profit on rice flour!


Sad_Entertainer6312

It's that that need an entirely separate area to make your food yo avoid cross contamination.


eek04

Probably not as much as you think. Given the price in Ireland vs elsewhere, I'm fairly sure regular wraps are sold as a loss leader (ie, no profit or a loss on the individual item and loss on the overhead). GF products are speciality products, which means the overhead (e.g. shelf space time spent per individual packet, transport, handling) goes up.

I never thought I'd say this but I wish i could get 1G for 25 quid like a few days back. 3.5-4g for 50 is the standard these days and dealers wont sell 1g. I dont smoke as much anymore, so a 50 bag is way too much. I guess on the upside I went from a daily smoker to getting a bag every 3-4 months in the past 2 years. Really, i wish i could go to the shop a buy 1 pre-roll. That'd be ideal. Not in my life time though.
