    I was thinking about toilet paper today, I went from Waitrose's own brand, to Lidl then Andrex, and I found Lidl's the best, softer than W's (was like sanding paper) and thicker than Andrex
    However the roll inside was bigger than the others, meaning the rolls are smaller.

    I find it impossible to compare toilet paper, because you can count the sheets but their size varies, so it's hard to know.
    Once I picked up a pack of Andres on special offer on a different aisle then the others, and it had smaller sheets than the full price one. You really can't win.

    I have recently started "bargain" hunting for everyday items like loo roll. I have tried a few own brand but the best by far is Nicky from Home Bargains. x

    Nikki are good for a £1, Lidl do a Florays (?) 3layer one for under £2 and they are really good.
    Their tissues are slaso brillliant, the only ones that don't break up in the washing machine

    The Aldi 'Value' rolls are fine, £1.69 for 12 (200 sheets per roll I think).

    Nicky Toilet Roll is the best. Very soft and plenty of sheets on a roll. I buy pack of 9 from Home Bargains, but will be going to Farm Foods for the pack of 12.

    We use the Lidl "recycling" ones, 10 for £1.79 and they're 250 sheets per roll. Can't recall the name and have thrown out the pack, but I do know it is green, and the loo rolls are perfectly OK, not luxury but they do the job. Anything else is money down the drain.

    i buy these but mine are £1.49, prob different depending on area or maybe mine will jump up soon, there not perfect but there strong do the job and last ages, i don't see the point on buying fancy stuff at you really are fludhing money down the loo. I did buy tesco daisy ones which were ok but seemed to be very small rolls that ran out quickly, i don't count rolls really i just judge by how long a roll lasts us, because with some brands (like value) you need a few extra squares

    I also use Nicky from Farm Foods. Be careful, though, I once bought a pack from Iceland and it was 2 ply. Farm Foods sell 3 ply and it's much better.

    The rolls are 20m long. I think Andrex is longer at 25m (or it was last time I looked).
