Gucci brand?

Post by gounion »

From the "ya gotta be shittin' me" department:
Democratic strategist Donna Brazile clashed with former Republican Gov. Chris Christie on Sunday after he claimed that his wife pays $29 for toilet paper.

Christie made the claim during a panel discussion about President Joe Biden's agenda on ABC's This Week.

"Let me give you an example of what normal people really care about," Christie opined. "I mean, first, they go to the gas station and as much as the Biden administration is against fossil fuels, until further notice we're going to be using them ... So they go to the gas station and the prices are way too high."

"I will tell you something," he continued. "My wife just told me three days ago she walked into the supermarket and she picked up a big pack of toilet paper and she said to me, 'Do you know how much this cost me today? $29. $29!"
I didn't know Gucci sold toilet paper.

Now hold on just a gall dang minute. He might just be speaking the truth about the cost of toilet paper. Have you seen the size of his ass and then there all that shit he's spreading so he'd need a lot of toilet paper. :lol:

The problem for Republicans is the same one that G.H.W. Bush had when he saw a bar code reader at a grocery store. They don't shop at grocery stores. They have no clue what prices are, so they make themselves look like fools when they just pull a number out their ass.

Grocery stores don't have 30-packs. That's at places like Costco. He said he didn't go to Costco.

You can buy groceries and a 30 pack at target. Or Walmart. And probably a Kroger superstore.

Show me your prices. I dare you. I just looked on google, and at $27 you get 96 rolls.

But come to Cruz' defense. It's what you do.

Yes, but you neglected to provide a link. A link that would say that it's a monster pack of 30 rolls at Target, which equals 120 rolls of regular toilet paper by sheet count.

https://www.target.com/p/charmin-ultra- ... A-76564000

I buy monster packs like that at Costco. They're so big they don't fit in the trunk of my car. I have to haul them in the back seat and they take up the whole back seat.

This is a situation that Cruz, if he was telling the truth, would produce his wife's grocery store receipt.

He can't, because it doesn't exist.

I did some checking at the Costco and Sam's Club websites and you can buy toilet paper from both for $29. The thing is these are bulk sales of 48 rolls to the package. I doubt most families would need to buy that many rolls at one time and that package is more likely being bought by businesses.

I can get a 50 back of Purex toilet paper for $10.99 (regular $18.99) right now at my grocery store.

Target has super mega ( equivalent 0f 72 rolls) of Charmin for just over 18 bucks https://www.target.com/p/charmin-ultra- ... nk=sametab

Walmart close to the same https://www.walmart.com/ip/Charmin-Ultr ... /580344409

And Cruz said he didn't go to Costco. He was called on his bullshit and tried to cover up.

Family of 6.

When the shortages started I was talking to my neighbor and commented on the big packs. Theirs is a family of five and she buys the 24-30 packs.

A 30 pack of Kirkland costs $16.00 at our Costco. It's still a limit of one and does run out on occasion. My wife thinks it's a two part problem of shipping and and still a bit of hoarding going on.
They've never really run out of Charmin. $24.00 for a 30 pack here.

Well, it is the good stuff.

There’s this.

$32.29 for Charmin 30 pack at my local supermarket n/t

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1 ... 2101#post8

13. Same price here (DE) for Charmin Ultra Mega roll 24 pack. nt

Package Dimensions ‏ : ‎ 20.2 x 14.72 x 12.6 inches; 8.53 Pounds

https://www.amazon.com/Charmin-Ultra-St ... B07K4NH7D4

So given the package dimensions it’s obvious the good people at Charmin are packaging for the grocery store aisle.

Why don’t you fucking PROVE that’s what it costs at your grocery store. Because that isn’t what it really costs.

Good point. I mean, I live in a small apartment with little storage space. Who even has room for Costco-sized packages?

Let’s be clear about how dishonest BDD is. I just looked at my local Kroger. They don’t have 30 roll packages at the store. A 24 roll of Charmin is 10 bucks. BUT if you want some SHIPPED to you, it’s $32 for a 30-roll pack. Why? Because it costs a load of money to ship something that big.

But Cruz didn’t say she had some shipped. He said she bought it at the store.

He lied, and so is BDD. He will defend anything that a Republican says.

But here’s the point I was making in the original post: People like the Cruzes don’t GO to the grocery store, their servants do. And if they did, they wouldn’t go to Target. They’d go to specialty grocery stores where they DO jack up the prices on everything. I used to go to a store in Texas called Central Market, where I would get meat and fish for the BBQ. I paid a big price for excellent products, but they had regular stuff like canned goods too, and their prices were twice what I could get at Kroger, so I never bought any of that stuff.

Donna B’s point was that if she was paying that, she was getting ripped off, because that’s NOT what regular Americans pay for toilet paper.

But dumbass BDD is trying to gaslight us and tell us that IS what Americans are paying. And he’s lying.
