I suppose I should have posted this yesterday, but here it is.
I used to not know what St. Patrick's day was about at all until I watched this VeggieTales episode. Then I bought this book.

Many other rolls contain 500-100 sheets per roll. Since it's very sensitive information, please don't ask me how I got this information, but we use on average ~200 sheets per day for our household (husband + wife). Let's say the average number of sheets per roll is 300. The cost of toilet paper per day is roughly 20-25 cents a day.
