Best Paper Towel Deals

All of you know we love to find great deals on things people use every day here at Goodfind.guru. Today I will put the paper towel industry and their retailers through the rings and see who comes out on top. Let find the best paper towel deals.

To find out what is the best value for paper towels I went to 5 different big-name stores and gathered prices, sizes, ply, rolls and sheets per roll information. I then compiled all the data into a spreadsheet so I could compare and decide which one gave the most value for the money. I also tested many mainly brands to figure out the best quality brands. The stores I visited were Walmart, Target, Costco, Publix and Amazon.

For the most part they all offer the same brands and close to the same prices. Where they differ greatly is there store brand, Brand x or generic brands. Ill ad those in for quality and pricing comparisons as well. We will get down to the best way to purchase Paper Towels people. SO I’m going to test the Strength, Durability and quality of the top brands. Then we will find out where the best place to buy them.

Paper Towel Strength Test

To do the Strength test I have 3 Cups of water, one cup, 3 cups and 8 cups. and one cup of a heavier liquid, Heavy Whipping cream. I will dup the contents of each glass one at a time on the same table. Then swiping right to left see how far I can swipe before breaking or tearing the paper towel. Pretty simple right.

Up first is the Quicker Picker upper, Bounty. This is the leading name brand In paper towels. Bounty is the big dog and I’m assuming they will fare the best in this test. One cup water, absorbs the water easily with room to spare. I’m able to continue swiping with no resistance or tearing. 3 cups fills the Towel and tears after 6 complete swipes back and forth on the kitchen table. I’m able to get 3 full swipes on 8 cups and the heavy whipping cream, How everyone sheet fails to pick up all of the liquid. I’m assuming this will be the standard.

Next up is the Lumber Jack beefcake guy, Brawny. I like the Brawny Guy and I’m pulling for him already. One cup water, absorbs the water easily with room to spare. I’m able to continue swiping with no resistance or tearing. 3 cups fills the Towel and tears after 5 complete swipes back and forth on the kitchen table. I’m able to get 3 full swipes on 8 cups and the heavy whipping cream, How everyone sheet fails to pick up all of the liquid. Almost exactly as Bounty

Brand X, I have 5 Different Brand X, generic brands from each off the Retail outlets. They All fared exactly the same, which is 10 swipes on 1 cup, 3 swipes on 3 cups and tear pretty much immediately on 8 cups while not picking up more than half the water. There is one exception, the Great Value brand from Walmart, I was assuming this would be the worst performer. However it did slightly better in every test. Who knew?

Conclusion

There is not a big enough difference between the best and the worst to make a cost analysis difference. What I mean by this, Bounty will not use less sheets then Brand X. So the best way to purchase is to go solely off cost.

Best Paper Towel Deals For Bounty

Searching through the big box retailers, the best deals I could find on bounty are at Target and Amazon.Not the best pricing option Target has a special offer. If you buy 3 you can get a 10$ target gift card. You must use their pick up or restock options though. IF you average that deal in, $21 for 24 rolls, $.83 a roll. Not the best paper towel deals, but decent.

8 rolls,

• $10.97 Amazon
• $10.49 Target Buy 3, get $10 gift card with pickup or Target Restock

Best Paper Towel Deals for Brawny

These paper towels are the most expensive so I searched. I found a coupon at Publix that gave me $2.00 off. In addition they are on sale this week at a price of 2 8 pack rolls for $11. At a grand total cost per roll of $.56. Not too schabby. I stocked up.

• $9.97 Walmart
• 2 for $11.00 Publix

Brand X

If you are in a pinch and cash short, this is your option. How ever they don’t yield the best price per roll. An average of all 5 brand X of $.82 per roll. Just edging out Bounty but not coming close to the Brawny deal at Publix.
