Dollar General has great toilet paper prices. Krogers does too.
Appreciate you sharing a few other shopping options for toilet paper, Sylvia! Good to know!
Shopping Walgreens Brands is really an easy way to save money for me and my family. I shop their brands for toilet paper, facial tissue, trash bags, plastic food bags and body wash at significant savings. They also will put name brand detergents on sale repeatedly such as Tide/Gain and it’s usually 4 for $10. I check their website weekly and find great deals; don’t forget to clip the coupons and use promo codes for additional savings.
Great to hear, Alice! 🤗 Walgreens brand products are such a budget-friendly option, and their detergent deals always seem like a win! 💰🙌 Thanks for sharing your tips! Be sure to check out our Walgreens Deals Page for even more weekly savings – if you haven’t already! 💕
