Bounty is better.

"Oh thank goodness!" my wife exclaimed after tearing off a fresh sheet of Bounty® paper towel. The cheap stuff was finally gone.



I am not a frequent user of grocery store coupons. It seems to me that if you have to buy more than you want of something, you really are not saving money and the coupons all seem to require that you buy more than you want. The coupons are always for the competing brands of products we prefer. I understand that the store tracks our purchasing habits and markets the coupon program as marketing departments do. "We will print a coupon for your product to customers who buy your competitors product." I get it, I just don't want to play. As I said, I am not a frequent user of grocery store coupons.

A $4 coupon for paper towels caught my eye at the self check out register a couple of weeks ago and demonstrated that my coupon policy was not firm enough.

Quick math: 8 rolls of paper towel, any paper towel, costs about $12. That is $1.50 per roll. With a $4 coupon $1 per roll. Fully 1/3 off of the usual cost. Couldn't resist. Should have resisted.

Long math: Replace 8 rolls of $1.50 per roll paper towel with 8 rolls of wax paper or parchment paper or tissue paper for $1 per roll and you saved 50 cents per roll and you do not have paper towels.



Maybe they could use this stuff to print grocery store coupons.
