Toilet paper is essential in our day-to-day life, and at the end of the month, it represents a considerable expense. It is so important that, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, it was the star item at the beginning of the lockdown. The rise in prices due to the current inflationary period and the environmental awareness of the waste of paper have made many people apply conscious and responsible measures in its use. One of the most ingenious tricks was posted by an Australian mother in the Facebook group "Mums who budget & save". The trick consists of squashing the toilet paper roll a little before placing it in the roll holder. This will make it much more difficult to roll the toilet paper out, which will result in using only the paper that is strictly necessary.
