I got a sample of Bounty paper towels in the mail the other day, and let me tell you, they are a whole different breed from the 58 cent per roll paper towels I buy. I’m still not sure if I can stand to break out of my frugal rut and pay the extra money that these paper towels cost. But a roll of Bounty would definitely go lots further than my cheapo brand.

About Me
I'm Mary, wife to John, and mom to 10 kids ages 3-20. Six of them were adopted, from Ethiopia and Korea. I spend my days applying Bandaids, reminding kids to use their inside voices, persuading kids fractions are useful, cooking spicy ethnic food, and snapping gig after gig of pictures. Very late at night, I write about it all.

Bounty is my favorite brand.
If you go here:
http://afullcup.com/upload/cmps_index.php?page=coupon_generator
And scroll down about 1/2 way, there is a coupon for $1.50 off an 8-pack. This can be used *in conjunction* with any manufacturer’s coupon you might have, too.
I love Bounty, but I also hate to pay those prices!
I am so cheap that I rarely buy paper towels, but since the number of spills in my house isn’t actually decreasing, I should probably get over it.
My son did a project on the best paper towel for science. Of course BOUNTY won by a long shot!!! Bounty is all I will use. Unless my dad is in town. That man will use 12 roll in a day regardless of the quality. But that is an entirely different story.
By the quicker picker upper!
I love viva brand—have you tried it? It is way absorbant and so soft you can wipe kiddos faces!
We always use Bounty select-a-size, which helps mitigate the higher cost. I like having the option of using a half-sheet — and really, a half-sheet is adequate for most things I use paper towels for.
I love Bounty! When my kids were small, I used them to make homemade baby wipes-much much cheaper than store bought, but much much easier to deal with than washing cloth baby wipes.
We take old t-shirts and cut them up into small rags, and use dishcloths and cloth napkins for everyday circumstances.
I have a wonderful front-load washer, so I don’t mind doing the laundry.
Since we rarely use paper towels, I always buy BOUNTY. They are worth the extra cash.
Bounty was the best brand of paper towel out there (back when I was using them). It may have been a two-ply paper towel, but I swear it soaked up spills like it were a full-fledged sponge! I have nothing bad to say about them other than the expense (which is worth it if you’re a fan of premium paper products). However, may I suggest that on top of getting your fill of Bounty that you try a microfiber, German-made, reusable absorbent towel and compare them side-by-side with Bounty? When used on the same kinds of spills, they both work effectively as far as cleanup and no-mess on your clothes. Plus with the reusable towel, you’re able to throw it in w/ your regular laundry weekly! Hey, get the Bounty out when visitors come over, but when it’s day-to-day cleaning and spills, try the reusable absorbent towels: You’d save a bundle in the long run!
