5 Common Frugal Things That Are Absolutely NOT Worth It

1. Single-ply toilet paper

The first entry on our list of frugal things that are not worth it is buying single-ply toilet paper because it’s cheaper. One may think cutting this corner and not indulging in two-, three-, or four-ply toilets may save money in the long run, but obviously it doesn’t work like that. On the contrary, actually.

If you don’t want to shove your fingers directly into where the sun doesn’t shine, you need to fold the single-ply toilet paper over itself again and again, which defeats any cost savings. Basically, you’ll end up using more toilet paper, so this “frugal” tip is a fool’s bargain.
