Check the package for the number of sheets and total length. I don't think single or double ply makes much difference. I personally buy only one brand, Charmin. Charmin comes in both ultra soft and ultra strong. Why not soft and strong all in one?

I think single or double ply makes a big difference. Public restrooms often use single-ply, and I for one certainly pull off a lot more sheets than I use at home.

My current favorite is Quilted Northern Ultra Soft & Strong. I believe Consumer Reports liked it too.

I've never compared number of sheets, but I sure know that the rolls are more narrow than they used to be. Soon they'll be no wider than a cash register tape!

I have bought Scott brand for as long as I can remember~I think they are 1,000 sheets per roll and that has been forever also~~I buy in bulk when it is on sale.

Clairdo, we buy either Kirkland or Cascades, both from Costco. The Kirkland brand is wide, end to end on the roller bar. We do like the Cascades as well, and they often have them for $4 off the package.

I always buy Scott

Quilted Northern extra soft and strong.

I can't remember when I last bought toilet paper other than at Costco, and their own brand. Toilet paper, paper towels, laundry soap, bath soap, dishwasher soap....I haven't purchased at a grocery store chain, Walmart or Freddies in more than a decade at least. Is it as soft and cushy as some of the other brands? I don't know - it's toilet paper, I can't say I really give it too much thought unless the holder is empty.

Costco's Kirkland Signature Bath Tissue - big rolls, double sheets.

I usually buy Scotts--no reason seems like I get more.

I buy only White Cloud double Rolls from Walmart.

My boys tend to use a lot and on an aging septic..it breaks down quickly but is sturdy to use. ;)

I would say it's equivalent to Northern..but a bit cheaper..

I buy Scott's. I buy the 12 roll pack, and it lasts almost a month

Scott's buyer here as well...

Charmin basic. And I'm prefer it over soft or strong. Cheaper. And fantatically. It's not like wafer thin cardboard like some can be.

Look at the sq ft to notice the apprecable difference in price. LInked below, this is from Squidoo

Toilet Paper Brand Cost Comparison
All Packages Contain 12 Double/Big Rolls
The winner of the Cost Comparison, Quilted NORTHERN would appear to barely squeak by with a $.60 savings per package, but not only is it the lowest price for a 12 double roll package, it also has the most sq. ft. per package which would actually increase the overall savings. (approx .15 ý per sq.ft. compared to nearly .18 per sq. ft.)

â¢Quilted Northern ~ 300 2 ply sheets/Roll ~ 450 sq. ft. ~ $6.99

â¢Charmin Tissue ~ 200 2 ply sheets/Roll ~ 284.6 sq. ft. ~ $7.59

â¢Cottonelle Tissue ~ 308 1 ply sheets/Roll ~ 430.8 sq. ft. ~ $7.69

Costco still has the wide rolls... that's what we prefer.

Yep, Scott's here, too. If TP is single ply, I use twice as much as double ply. Scott's sent me a free sample of Scott's Natural. It has no tube in the center. Quality seemed fine but I missed the tube. I don't know what it costs.

Scotts here too. Have tried other brands and always go back. Lasts much longer than others, plenty thick and soft. I don't have a whole lot of brand loyalty but this one's a winner!

Kirkland from Costco. A year or so I ran out of Kirkland and had to buy from grocery store. I tried about six or so different brands and none of them measured up to Kirkland.

Been purchasing Aldi's brand of toilet paper. I like it. Read reviews and all were positive.

I like Scott's the best, too. They also have a Scott's Soft which is not 1000 sheets. I prefer the 1000 sheet version so I don't have to change the empty roll so often. The only one I really DISLIKE is Angel Soft. It think the huge center hole is deceiving and, to me, there's something in it that makes my female parts itch. TMI..?

Kirkland here. I've tried and liked Scott's, but not as well.

rob333 is right. Look at the SQUARE FOOTAGE, not the number of squares, and if you like the texture...buy it.

When they started trimming down the size of the rolls, I started buying my toilet tissue at the janitor supply house. You can still get the wider rolls, 1000 sheets, and they only cost .55/roll (you have to buy a carton of 96).

A side benefit is that with that big carton in the basement, I only have to buy TP about every 10-12 months. LOVE that.

We usually use 1 to 1.5 rolls per week when it's just us. Of course, we have a daughter who occasionally shops at the MomMart, so we lose a few rolls that way now and then. And some weeks, with company, we go through more.

We are lifetime Scott users in my household.

Us "Scott" users need to be careful though. While a guest at a friend's apartment this week, my daughter accidentally clogged the toilet. Her claim was that the toilet paper was too thick. (Lesson learned.)

When I use "thicker" toilet paper at other homes, I know to use less. I also feel "cleaner" when using Scott's.

Are the narrower sheets ...

... especially for tight-a$$ed people?

ole joyful ... who figures he'd better check out the janitorial supply house ...

... but, a while ago, when many customers at the discount grocer's were buying 30-roll packs (which the pack said equalled 60 rolls, as they were double) ...

... he was wondering to some of the customers standing in line whether the pack might outlive him - and some wondered whether they dared laugh

Costco's Kirkland too

I use Charmin and I think the rolls get smaller every time I buy. And there are different varieties...soft , strong..why can't they be both?

I was think of this thread when I bought Kirkland TP at Costco yesterday, so I noted the cost. It's fifty cents a roll; 425 sq ft in a roll. Each double-ply 'square' is 4.5" X 4.0".

I have a 'store brand' in one closet that cost more "on sale". It has 200 sq ft per roll and the double-ply 'squares' are 4" X 4". These are treated with something to puff them up, and look dinky on the spindles. Why did I buy such a big package? I hate 'em.

The spindles in my TP holders are 5.5" wide.

My friend just gave me what I consider to be a worthwhile question/piece of information ...

... asked whether single rolls are for half-assed people?

Scotts here! I buy the soft kind, don't like the other one!
