Anyone else struggle with determining what's a good deal for toilet paper?

No Frill has 30=60 Royale on sale for $8.97. Costco has Cascade for 40 rolls for $16 ($4 off). Initially I thought the Royale was a better deal but when I saw the package, it seems like almost half the size of the Cascade. I have no idea what's a "good deal" on toilet paper. Just wondering how others determine this. What brand and price point would you say is a good deal?

I know that's a total non RFD'r comment but there's better things to spend your time on (like how to make more money or to better invest what you have).

We just buy Charmin, which we like best when it's on sale.

I haven't tried Kirkland brand but I don't think it's that great a value, especially if there are sales, coupons and points offers elsewhere. Last time I bought Royale, it didn't seem as soft as usual so I no longer buy it. Charmin clogs the toilet so that's out. Cottonelle isn't bad but it doesn't seem to separate from the perforations easily so you roll out a lot more than is necessary. I'm left with Purex and will get that on sale, preferably the 20=60 rolls so I'm not constantly changing it. Is it just my family who will leave a single square hanging from the roll?
