People don't realize that bulk purchases require up front capital. Some people can't afford to buy more that what they need at the time, even if it'll cost more in the long run. This even includes things like the 24 or 36 pack of toilet paper

OK but if you are driving 20 miles to buy one roll of toilet paper it probably makes about as much sense to wipe with singles.
