SEARCHING FOR FINANCIAL PEACE OF MIND?
THE BATHROOM IS A GREAT PLACE TO START
Currently, it seems like we’re all paying higher prices for things we use every day. But if you ap- ply a little fresh thinking to your daily routine, you

At 84 cents a roll, that adds up to $117 per household member a year — that’s more than $500 for the average family. Over the next three, five or even 10 years, the thousands you’d spend on

toilet paper would easily outpace your one-time purchase of a bidet seat. Further, reducing toilet paper use also relieves strains on environmental resources, as a single roll of toilet paper requires 37 gallons of water to manufacture.
Better yet, a bidet seat means you can save even more money by not having to shop for cleansing wipes. You’ll further accelerate your ROI because the synthetic materials found in cleansing wipes are known for clogging toilets and
