Best value toilet roll?

MikeJXE

I just bought Tesco 24 pack Little Duck supreme quilted 3 ply at £6.79. Not tried it yet but the feel seems good on my hands anyway.

The Izal medicated trading paper that we had in schools in the seventies must have been chosen based on cost, have you tried that?

Bit pricey now - one roll sold on eBay yesterday for more than £40!

Presumably sold as a secondhand antique (was going to say "used" but probably not the best term in this case).

The thing with bog roll is about habits, the cheap stuff can be horrible and weak so you use a ton of it to compensate but if you then buy the more expensive/more robust option you have to adjust the quantity you use, else you are just flushing it down the toilet.

Toilet roll is quite expensive considering I use it to w.. alright without details. I used to be buying 9 rolls tesco value for £1.90 but I haven't seen it in store or online for ages, I assume they don't do it anymore.

Toiler roll usage in my house is quite high so I'm looking for best quantity/quality value for money. I tried to do the math myself but there are different lengths, thickness, some claim to be double efficient, and so on... So here is my question, where do you get your toilet rolls from? Bulk order from the internet? Something off the shelf at supermarket?

I have Tesco, Asda, and Lidl near me. I'm near Sainsbury about twice per month but never shop there.
I ordered toilet roll off amazon once but quality was so poor I'm still recovering from this experience.

Thoughts? 

The tesco rolls the ones we buy are now 650 for 6 but it was the 9 pack before they ar e quilted and three-ply. The same ones that are scented still come in the 9 pack but the 6 and 9 have the same number of shiets when you count all the sheets per pack

Cheap is not always best value. My pet hate for toilet roll....as with anything else TBH, is the excess use of plastic. I love Who Gives A C***, order online and no plastic. Good quality and good value. 

Intrigued by this, I took a look at the products: https://uk.whogivesacrap.org/products/recycled-3ply-toilet-paper . My first thought is that I would not usually spent as much as £22 on 48 rolls, but then I realised I probably would! Still, spending the best part to £45 on TP alone is pretty galling. Yet if it was a case of piling skincare goodies into an online basket would have no hesitation.

I've got a discount code on a flyer through my letterbox this week so am inclined to try this now.

As an aside, prog-rock band The Groundhogs had a track on the "Who Will Save The World" LP called "Bog Roll Blues"!

Did it offer any money saving advice in this regard?

I try to regulate my bowels so I do my best to only go on work time or when I am about socially - A very effective way of minimising toilet paper consumption!

Even when you visit friends????!!!!

I don’t like loo rolls with added fragrance, so won’t be buying those again.

Careful - those flyers are usually printed on shiny non-absorbent paper…….
