This is a question False Economies

Sometimes the cheapest option isn't the right one. I fondly remember my neighbours going to a well-known catalogue-based store and buying the cheapest lawnmower they stocked. How we laughed as they realised it had non-rotating wheels and died when presented with grass. Tell us about times you or others have been let down by being a cheapskate.

Can we pick on him for his notion that spending ludicrous money on paper used solely for removing shit from your arse will ultimately benefit you instead?

Perhaps if you pay enough for it, it can be rinsed out and re-used
ultimately saving you money

Yeah but if you only ever have a shit at work, you don't need to spend anything on toilet paper.

Disagree with both.
Cheap toilet paper is fine as long as you don't go too cheap. Cheap shoes are also fine if they're the pathetic excuse for footwear you're contractually obliged to wear to work or a "brand name" from an "outlet store" -- both are cheap and both serve their purpose well. I have also bought expensive footwear only to be disappointed.
