What kind of kitchen towel?

Hi

I have tried a few different types of kitchen roll and am currently using Asda's Smart price - 4 roll (44 sheets per roll) for 83p or thereabouts but it is not that great in my opinion.

Was just wondering if anyone could advise of what kitchen roll they use and if it is value for money etc, etc?


Thanks

    Do you have a Costco near you? I buy their kitchen towels and not only are they longer and wider per piece but also very absorbent. Also very cheap!!

  • Thanks for that, I actually have a costco card, but only really buy their meat and birthday cakes. I will make a point of looking out for their kitchen towel next time I am there.

    Thanks again

    Awful to admit this, but I adore Bounty (Plenty). I only ever buy it on offer (still using the load I got from Makro over a year ago!) but I find it to be the best of the bunch - you really can use it over and over again. Have accidentally washed some before now and it dried to be perfectly usable!

    I'll only use bounty/plenty too. It's so much better than any others i've tried and like previous poster i only buy it when it's on offer so it's not too expensive

    I use any of the high absorbency ones, even own brand (as long as they're the extra absorbent ones) as you tend to need less so I don't need to buy them as often. I found that when I was using the cheaper ones, I would use three or four sheets in one go, where I only use one (two at the max). I find the rolls last me twice as long, sometimes even longer than that.

    Hope that helps

    Morning everyone, lurking for sometime thought it was about time I signed up

    Anyway Bounty/Plenty is on offer at the moment in Savers for 99p, i've been stocking up on it along with Tripple Velvet £1.89 for 4 with 2 free. Cheaper than Morrisons own soft loo roll.

    At the moment Sainsburys have Thirst Pockets 2 rolls for 97p. It's the ones with the jazzy patterns on them. Don't buy the plain ones as they are still full price. Unlike Morrisons, we don't have restrictions on how many customers can buy as I had one customer earlier this week purchasing 20 packs.
