Side by Side vs. Kirkland Signature
As I am a complete dork, and decided to review paper towels for vine, I decided to test these paper towels against the Kirkland signature brand (from Costco).
Dimensions:
Bounty Huge Roll:
Rolls: 12
Sheets: 130
Sheet dimensions: 11″ (high) x 10.4″
Total square feet: 1239
**Updated to Reflect Sheets/Roll Decrease from 90-80
Kirkland brand:
Rolls: 12
Sheets: 80
Sheet dimensions: 11″ (high) x 14″
Total square feet: 1026
Note: at this update Kirklands cost per square foot(in-store) was .016 cents(+ tax) whereas Bounty on Amazon is .027 (+tax in some areas). However to get the convenience of online shopping (at least at the moment) you’d have to buy the kirland from a reseller, and the one on amazon brings the price up to .029/sq foot.
In order to evaluate both products I tested both products for water retention, use in cleaning up a spill with repeated wringing of the towels, and scrubbing of a…
Huge Price Increase.
I’ll start off by saying the product is fine it’s the pricing that has me annoyed.
Not sure what’s going on with the price but when I started ordering the 8-pack back in August of 2010 it was 16.14 on subscription. I was checking the status of my subscription to see when I was going to get the next shipment and I was taken aback by the fact 8-Packs are now priced at 30.32 on subscription. To make matters worse I see the 12-pack is 28.04. sheesh.. Just something to watch for if you have a subscription for items.
150 Sheets per Roll
If you decide to buy this product, you should be aware that these rolls are HUGE. In case you missed it in the description, these 8 rolls equal 20 of the regular Bounty Rolls Bounty Regular Roll, White, 1 roll (Pack of 30)
Comparing the current prices of the regular size and this size, per paper towel, you save a huge amount! And, as you are aware, Bounty is a very high quality paper towel. And, in this large size, the price compares nicely to even the cheaper paper towels, making it a great bargain!
I consistently use Bounty and Brawny Pick-A-Size Paper Towels, 15 BIG ROLLS (Equals 20 Regular Rolls) for my big jobs. I enjoy Brawny because you can tear off smaller (or larger) pieces, but I really don’t like buying it at nearly double the cost of these!
I put one roll in my kitchen, where I have been cleaning…
