  • I don't get them anymore, I get the 9pk Saxon from Aldi for £1.99 and it is far superior paper :cool:

    I've just decided try Nicky toilet rolls, which everyone on MSE has said is good, and it's pretty decent. Savers has 9 rolls for £1.99
    PK! :money:

    Even if/when SP/Value toilet paper was softer it is always a false economy as you need to use more of it than other stuff. Just one thing that are not good value items.
    I have to say I disagree. I use the same number of sheets, so for me it's a good deal.

  • I usually buy Aldis Custard cremes for 26p, they are really nice. Last week I was in Asda and thought why not try their value ones for 37p and compare? I didnt like them, they taste pretty much like cardboard.
