You Chinese if you hoard on-sale toilet paper.
Not that hoarding on-sale items is a bad thing! You can actually save a lot of money by buying only things that are on sale; and especially if it's a loss leader.
The Chinese method is, if there's toilet paper on sale for half the normal price (the store is losing money on it) and the limit is two packages... bring the whole family. So, mom buys two, dad buys two, daughter one buys two, daughter two buys two, daughter three buys two, son one buys two, ah-poh buys two, and ah-gung buys two. Now, the family has a zillion packages and all for half the normal price! Toilet paper for months to come.
If you Super Chinese, you bring everything back to the car (or scooter, or bicycle) and come back for seconds, making sure to pay at a different cashier.
