| I only have a couple weeks left and I'm down to my last few squares of my last roll of tp. It seems they only sell jumbo packs here, is there any place where I can buy a 4 pack or something small like that?? |

I've seen small 4 packs at Daiso chain stores, and I have occasionally seen single rolls availible at convenience stores.
If all else fails steal rolls from work or maybe even subway stations  |

It's annoying isn't it - the way tp seems to packaged in nothing less than 20 packs?
Hit all of the 7-11's and corner stores in your neighborhood and look where the first aid and tampons are. You'll have to scour your neighborhood but your roll is there somewhere!! |

| Usually 7-11s sell individuals. Also many of the adjumma marts will stock single rolls for around 500 won a pop. |

| Literally every mart I've ever been to sells them in packages of 2, 4, 8, 10. |

Why not just buy too much and give away leftovers to your neighbors? Really TP is going to set you back less than having to worry about not having it.
Jeesh. |

seriously. you've been living in another country and for all that's worth, your experience has apparently been so limited and constrained that you can't even manage to find TOILET PAPER without posting on an internet board???
moving back home with mom and dad??  |

| If toilet paper is an issue, simply time your "visits" to the toilet with your shower routine, and save the environment~ |

I've seen a lot of shops that sell 4 packs.
If you really can't find any and you don't want to leave any unused rolls behind then why not get a couple rolls of paper towels? Or tissues?
Or... you know all those homework assignments that the kids have been handing in recently?  |

Amateurs!
Bring a large bag (there's the one good reason to carry a Korean girl's handbag), visit a couple of office buildings, restaurants or coffee shops, and take one roll each until you have enough. Many stalls have a fresh backup roll, take that.
It's called stealing, did you learn nothing at school or at work? |

| In most public bathrooms there are bins full of free toilet paper in the stalls. Just take that home. |

Not to forget that most restaurants use toilet paper in place of paper napkins. |

You must be a fun person to hang out with. Actually, smart a$$, I was home at the time and thought I'd get some quick input that could help me find it quicker when I went out. Actually I bought a huge pack two years ago when I moved in this apartment and it lasted me until last week.
But, in the end, I got my gf to give me a roll from her house, so problem solved. |
