How do i tell one of my roommates that she needs to contribute to the household when it comes to communal things like paper towels, trash bags or soap without it coming off as bullying? Its been months and she contributed nothing while using everything...

maybe go somewhere like Costco or Sam’s Club and split the cost between all of you so you don’t have to worry about restocking for awhile plus it’ll be a little cheaper

I had a roommate like this and when my other roommate and I told her to contribute she still didn’t, so we removed everything we bought and locked it in our room. She still didn’t buy anything, we still aren’t sure what she wiped her ass with when she went to the bathroom

or have a sit down convo and make it clear that if they aren’t willing to participate in the buying of communal things then they aren’t welcome to use what you bought
