So you have enough toilet paper stockpiled to get you through a two month disaster? How about enough to last through a year or longer SHTF, power grid down, TEOTWAWKI-type of event?

Before you can accurately even ponder that question for an answer, putting a few stark toilet paper roll realities into perspective is required. On average, there are roughly 1,000 sheet of toilet paper on thin single ply rolls, and 500 sheets on thicker and more absorbent double ply rolls.

Those figures might suggest that each roll contains enough TP to last a long time, right? Nope, not really. According to an MIT report, most folks go through 20,805 sheets of toilet paper per year – that equals approximately 57 sheets of toilet paper every single day.

Let’s throw one more statistic out there, the average American uses around 50 pounds of toilet paper per year.
