One roll per week? That seems frugal.

180 pieces per roll x 36 rolls is 6480 pieces of toilet paper. (Guessing the 180, fairly standard-ish here in Australia).

Divide that by days in half a year 6480 / 182 = 35 pieces per day divided by 4 family members in the house is 9 pieces of toilet paper each per day.

If you're pooping two to three times per day, that's like three or four squares of TP per dump, which seems quite reasonable.

(not wasteful) != frugal
