A question about : Where do you buy your toilet rolls?!

Did a quick search but couldn't find anything .... I have gradually been adjusting my shopping habits but have yet to try anything except from my normal Andrex. I have looked in stores like Lidl but worry about buying something of really poor thin quality. Ideas please?

Best answers:

  • I buy the pretty white ones from M&S that are perfumed and have little aqua coloured seahorses and shells on them....sorry!
    Not cheap but such good quality they last longer than the cheap, thin alternatives.
  • Nicky, you can get them in Farmfoods or Savers.
    I get the pack of 18 rolls for Ј3.95 and they are so thick, 3 ply and have lotion in. When I go round my mums and she has Andrex, I feel that Nicky is a lot thicker than Andrex.
  • I have tried many cheaper brands and always seem to go back to Andrex so my aim is to buy Andrex but at the best price possible.
    Sometimes they have a brilliant deal on amazon for 45 rolls for about Ј20( i use vouchers I have earnt on swagbucks etc.) but hasnt been on lately so I have discovered that my local poundstretcher shop do 18 rolls for Ј6.50 ish which works out even better value. The same quantity next door in tesco were over Ј8 and supposedly on offer.
  • I buy the cheap ones, just not the cheapest. All supermarket own brands are good, it's just the super cheap ones that need to be avoided if you have enough money to be in a position of choice.
    If they "look all right", then they'll be fine - you can spot the super-cheap/market quality ones through the packet.
    I think even the quality of the super-cheap ones has improved in the last 5+ years.
  • Nicky are the best on the market at the moment.
    Padded, and I always buy white toilet rolls.
  • Am I the only one on the boards to not like Nicky?? The only ones my local Farmfoods sell are perfumed, which I can't do, and when I finally did find some unperfumed (from Poundstretcher, I think) I was quite underwhelmed But then again, I'm not keen on Andrex either - although it's quite thick, I find it's a bit of a "shredder"
    I like Cushelle, but for vfm my preference is Regina - which I stock up on whenever it's on offer at Wilko (which it is regularly )
  • I use velvet, when on offer, I like quilted.
    I have never tried this "Nicky" but I have heard a lot about it on these boards, I have about 5 months supply of velvet left, but I like to stock up and be 2 months ahead.
    I'm going to try this nicky once and for all, buy a small pack see what all the fuss is.
  • Nicky for me at home bargains.
  • Went on a bit of a hunt for them yesterday as I stopped off for a middle of the night shop at Asda.
    Came way with 24 Cushelle for Ј7.50. I usually stick to Andrex but for that price I ain't gonna argue.
  • I thought I would try Nicky as my local Nisa store had some for 2.45 for 16, they are not bad actually, quilted but not stiff like some of them are. When I went back for more, they had sold out, not only me that likes a bargain then!
  • Costco - they usually have Cushelle or Velvet on offer at Ј10 or so for 40 rolls. You do have to be a member of course, but it's a cracking price.
  • Rigina toilet roll &kitchen roll is better than andrex I think. Velvet is good too. I dont think andrex is as good as it used to be although i still buy it if the best cost wise.
  • Lidl own 3ply is lovely and good value.
    xx
  • Iceland
    Packs are marked Ј1 for 4 but for some reason they are selling at 89p
  • I get the velvet from Costco but I like the Costco Kirkland brand as well. Never tried Nicky. I don't think Andrex is as good as it used to be years back.
  • I buy Nicky all the time now from Home Bargains 18 rolls for Ј3.99 its not thin and horrible, i was surprised how thick it was the first time i tried them
  • Toilet Rolls for the man who has everything.
  • I buy the lidl own brand (Florlays?) I stock up when its on offer.
    But they also sometimes do velvet on offer, so i stock up, I think its 30 for a tenner?
  • Cushelle is my tissue of choice. I always stock up when its Ј7.49 for 24 in lidl.
