1. A consumable sheet-product level monitoring dispenser for association solely with a single brand of sheet-product filled consumable in a disposable purchase container, comprising:
a receiver for receiving the consumable within the disposable purchase container upon insertion thereto of the disposable purchase container;
at least two distinct types of proximity sensors associated with, positioned proximate to, and sensing parallel to and across at least one opening in the receiver to reconcile misreads between each other;
a sensing module for receiving sheet-product level data from the at least two sensors only if the disposable purchase container is from the single brand as indicated by a marking on the disposable purchase container;
a communications module for communicating the sheet-product level to at least a mobile device display and over at least one network to at least one back end module; and
an app that displays on the mobile device display and that communicates with the communication module, which provides a confirmation of an automated replenishment order based on the sheet level product, and which provides a discount with the automated replenishment order.
