Advantages: You will find uses for them.. even if you don't normally buy tissues...

Disadvantages: for a heavy cold and lots of nose blowing, you will still get a sore nose eventually

For budget reasons, I have started to do a monthly online shop from Tesco and have all the "essentials" delivered to me in one go.

Every month my bulk shop includes things like value products (chopped tomatoes, kidney beans, toilet rolls, midget gems... all the good Tesco Value products avoiding things like the Value fish fingers but that's another review..). And each month, I buy atleast 3 boxes of the Tesco 25p Value Tissues.

They have become an essential. Where as before, I wouldn't have bothered too much about buying tissues, I certainly wouldn't have bought a £1.89 box of Kleenex (as I think its is unnecessary especially if you are on a budget). But, this product has become an essential. I have a box within easy reach in pretty much every room in the house as I now find I "Need" to have a box within reach for snuffles, spills, pseudo swine flu, hayfever. I've even grabbed a handful of these tissues when I ran out of kitchen roll to mop up a kitchen spill (and am now deliberarting about the need for Kitchen roll...).

If you haven't bought this product before, you will probably think it is going to be rough, grey, a lot of haggard looking/ sorry-for-themselves tissues rammed into a box. You may even think they are going to be like old 1980s toilet roll with one shiny side... you will be wrong.

They are bright white, soft and as the box is pimarily white, they look decent. They have a red stripe along one edge with "Tissues" written on the box, what more do you need? As the box is white, if you are bored or have children, you can even draw all over the box and do a "design your own" tissue box craft project. Give the kids a box each for their rooms, get them to design a better box than their siblings... all these possibilities open up when you are faced with an almost blank canvas of a box of decent tissues.

Summary: Tesco have struck Gold selling these for 25p
