Advantages: Great for catching the occasional sneeze, cheap

Disadvantages: rough, would be irritating with regular use

I always keep a box of tissues in my living room. The reaosn is, I have a boyfriend who lives a long way away, and visits every few weeks. However, he has allergies triggered by a change in environment, so for the first couple of days at my house, there's sneezing and excema flare-ups all over the place. With a box of 150 tissues costing a bargain 25 pence, I snaffled some of these up last time I needed to restock.

They come in a plainly designed cardboard box in the usual smartprice colours of white and green, with a flower design on one side in an attempt to make it look pretty, with a perforated oval in the centre which is removed to allow the tissue to be pulled through. All the info about contacting Asda, and their replace and refund policy is on the bottom of the box. Nothing too exciting here really.

The tissues are white in colour, and actually have quite a rough texture. Hvaing used a few of these myself for the occasional sneeze, they seem a little scratchy, but they do the job. However, I imagine if you had a long lasting cold or flu, these could end up being really irritating on the nose, and I would recommend spending a little extra on tissues for those kind of situations .

However, as tissues that only get used very occasionally, they're pretty good . Not luxurious, certainly not high quality, put at 25p ber 150, working out at 0.2 pence each, its a bargain price thats not to be sniffed at.

Summary: Buy for occasional use, spend a little extra if you'll use them often.
