I use it daily and run out every 2 days per roll.
That is good to know. You can stock enough of an item to last a predetermined time if you have worries or expect shortages. I get 6 or 7 days from large roll.

Thanks for the bump! I counted the number of rolls I had back when this thread was rolling and I had 13 on stock: 1 old and 12 new purchased just a couple of days before the strike. Today I have 7, meaning it takes me 6¼ days to consume a roll.

Although I've dated my paper towel tubes and discovered that my last roll of paper towels took me ≈3 years to consume, I don't recall doing this for TP tubes.
