Tesco Value Toilet Tissue

Tesco value toilet roll is rubbish! After starting to seriously watch our pennies this year, I though I would give this a go as Ihad tried the Tesco Luxury Soft and been quite happy with it. How bad could it be I thought? Ummmm...pretty awful At approximately 10p a roll it seems to be the cheapest of it's kind in the Tesco stores. However, you have to use so much of it for it to be as effective as rival brands, it seems like false economy. One roll was only lasting about two thirds of a day in our house (compared to one and a half days with the Luxury Soft), so with my amateur calculations it just does not seem worth the saving, especially when much better, ...  Read the complete review

The vital statistics... Tesco value toilet tissue comes in packs of 4 and 12. The price of a pack of 12 toilet rolls costs around £1.20 although it seems to vary slightly from week to week - this works out at approximately £0.10 per roll. There are on average 200 sheets per roll. Appearance... The tissue is plain white, fairly thin with a slightly mottled effect on the surface. They are 2-ply and of average width. The cardboard tubing is slightly wider than other brands - I presume this is to make the tissue look larger, this is one of the few bits about the product where I mark them down. The wrapper is transparent with a red band across the ...  Read the complete review

You're probably all familar with Tesco's no frills budget range known as Tesco Value. You can now buy a growing range of products within this range. I'm going to focus this review on the Tesco Value Toilet Rolls. Their main selling point has got to be the price, with a 4 pack roll available for under 50p with a 12 pack rolls for around £1.20. You can't fail to agree that this is exceptional value and is hard to beat. But there is a good old saying that you get what you pay for and this is definetly the case this time around. The tissue on the rolls is very thin indeeed and not very absorbent as a result. Also it feels very rough and definetly not as ...  Read the complete review

Tesco value loo roll is to be fair, cheap, and it does the job. But you can get so much more better for the same amount of money. Packaging- Clear plastic wrapping, always identifiable as the famous Teco Value brand with the bright red band to make it stand out from the rest!! Appearance- Very small and thin bright white toilet tissue. Texture- Pretty soft, not particularly rough but I've had better!! Very thin to the touch. Usage- I reckon this is the one of the types of toilet tissues that you have to scrunch rather than fold as you would need a wad of about 20 sheets for any kind of folding effectiveness, ...  Read the complete review

As part of my money saving mission, I'm trying a lot of own brand or value product when shopping. Normally I go to Home Bargains for toilet tissue but in the interest of research I thought I'd give the Tesco Value brand a go. PACKAGING Like all Tesco value branded products, the packaging is very plain. Clear plastic with and red stripe and the Value logo. No matter what anybody says, it does look cheap. THE TISSUE.... Well, I'll not be buying this again. It was thin, scratchy and not very absorbant. It reminded me of a slightly upgraded version of school toilet tissue. Compared to the more expensive brands it was like using ...  Read the complete review
