There's a question that shows up in my mailbox a lot, and it's one that has gone unan- swered until now. "How can I compare prices for toilet paper when there is no standard size?" For years, I've searched for a for- mula that would offer a way to find a bargain on bath tissue. Today's first reader tip offers just that: a quick and easy way to com- pare across all the variations and packaging sizes. How to determine a good deal on bath tissue ing. -- Lorelei O., e-mail worked for the Gap, back when you still could buy unwashed Levi's. We always suggest- ed that you dry-clean your jeans or slacks just once before laundering them for the first time. The chemi- cals in the dry clean- ing process help set the dye into the fibers, so they do not fade as quickly. -- Diane K., Ohio TIP OF THE MONTH. Shop for bath tissue the way you shop for carpet or fabric: by the price per square foot. There is no stan- dard square footage for a roll, but the measurements are listed on the package. I have found that the closer the price is to the square feet of tissue in the package the better the deal is for two-ply tis- sue. For example, if there are 525 square feet of tissue total, the price should be no more than $5.25. I have seen 360 square feet of tissue selling for $9. That is almost triple-price! This same strategy works for figuring out the best price on paper towels, too. -- Terri D., Minnesota COLOR KEEPER. Years ago, I PURSE-FREE. I don't carry all of my membership cards everywhere I go, and I even have stopped car- rying a purse or a wal- let. I only carry my license and any cards I know I'll need that par- ticular day. This may seem a little extreme, but it happened as a gradual result of leaving my credit cards at home. Instead of swiping my rewards cards, I just give the cashier my phone number, and I still get all the benefits. This arrangement rarely has caused me a problem, and I have found living purse-free to be incredibly liberat- MUSICAL MICE. When I heard a mouse in my bathroom drawers shredding my cotton swabs and leaving droppings, I put small head- phones in the drawer, found the most obnoxious music station I could, and turned the volume up to high. Rodents hate loud noises, and it drives them away. Once the mice leave, block all entrances. -- Eliz- abeth M., e-mail SMART CAR. I saved Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate money on my auto repairs when I found a good mechanic and made friends with him. He and I take my car to his house and do the repairs there, together. I have saved more than $600 this year alone, and the next time the problem occurs, I know what to do. -- Scott, Georgia Would you like to send a tip to Mary? You can e-mail her at mary@everydaycheapskate.com, or write to Everyday Cheapskate, P.O. Box 2135, Paramount, CA 90723. Include your first and last name and state.
