Tesco vs Andrex

aurongrande_2

I've been seeing messages that Lidl or Asda brand toilet paper is the most preferred, but seeing I don't have either store in our town, I have to stick with Tesco stores. So this is basically for those folks that are like me, and have very little choice in stores.

I kind of compared Tesco brand paper to Andrex not so long ago. Not the Tesco Value paper, I mean the ones in the purple wrapping. I don't bother with the quilted ones of any brand because you get very few sheets for such high prices.

I don't know if anyone has noticed but there is no difference between the quality of the Tesco brand compared to the Andrex ones. In fact, I think you get a few more sheets per roll from the Tesco ones.

So, save something like a £1 per 12pack and go for the Tesco ones.

Always bought Tesco(Supersoft i think) , but the latest pack I bough has definitely deteriorated in quality. Anyone else find this?

I like cheap , but not nasty which this is now

Personally I think the quality of Andrex's standard toilet tissue has gone downhill in the last year. We now buy Triple Velvet instead.

I have tried various brands recently, I always bought Andrex but wanted to cut costs so thought I would try something cheaper. Cushelle was on offer so I tried that, then I tried Nouvelle and although there is nothing wrong with them I think Andrex (for us anyway) lasts longer and is therefore more cost effective.

I bought a 12 pack of Andrex almost 2 weeks ago and we're still on roll number 2!! I went through 6 rolls of Cushelle in 2 weeks previously. So for us I think it's Andrex all the way.

Co-op have 9 roll packs on offer at two for £6.50 at the moment!

I buy the branded on own brand, whichever is on offer. I'm not at all bothered about cushioned velvet or whatever you can get, all things considered

Not the value range as thats just false economy :money:

I buy from my local discount store, 4 for £1 in a plastic carrier bag. I believe they are M&S ones which have been slightly miss-cut, or the colour changes half way through the roll, or some such. But they are great, so I guess M&S would be my choice, if I could afford them! Until then, my 'seconds' will do fine.

I have one of these shops just around the corner, same price for 'no brand' but decent loo roll.

I always go for whats on offer. I have no brand preference, as long as its good quality, and well priced.

Try 'Nicky' toilet rolls from Home Bargains, B & M, Farm Foods, Heron etc.

They are £1 for 4 or £1.02 for 9 (just gone up, they wre £1.99 for 9).

My mother in law is a bit of a loo roll snob and always used to buy Andrex because it was the most expensive, she could afford it and she thought it was the best.

I have converted her to Nicky, it is far better than Andrex.

Give it a try if you can find it, you won't go back to Andrex.
