This Toilet Paper vs Angle Soft vs Target brand
When I buy paper I want to know how much paper by weight I am getting per dollar. I've been using Angle Soft for years and always buy the largest bundle because I save more and have the storage space, and I don't have to order it as often. I use 50 to 100% more toilet paper per day than most people, so softness is nice, but too soft is not enough friction to get the job done well for me. This Envision paper is less soft than Angle Soft, maybe because this paper "contains 100% recycled paper with a minimum of 20% pre-consumer waste paper", that it needs to be manufactured more densely to have enough strength. Also this paper has less space between the each sheet and each ply, compared to Angle Soft; so that is how this 550 ply roll is the same size as the Angle Soft 264 ply roll. So this 80 roll order takes up about 50% more space then the 48 roll Angle Soft. The Envision sheets tear off less cleanly (straight across) compared to Angle Soft. The sheet size is almost exactly the same. The weight per sheet of this Envision paper is 0.329 grams, and the weight per sheet of Angle Soft is 0.436 grams. The weight per roll of Envision is 181 grams, and for Angle Soft it is 115 grams. At today's Amazon prices ($39.91/80 rolls and $18.69/48 rolls), for one dollar with the Envision paper you get 363 grams of paper, and with Angle Soft you get 296 grams of paper; or about 23% more paper weight per dollar with Envision than Angle Soft. If you want the same amount paper weight per wipe as Angle Soft then use 33% more Envision sheets, and you'll still save 23%. Between the two papers, it depends how important it is to you that this paper is "100% recycled paper with a minimum of 20% pre-consumer waste paper", and the softness difference, and the cost savings, and that they are packaged differently. For me I'll use the Envision paper to get the job done better. Both are made by the Georgia Pacific company. And I think this Envision paper would work well to TP a house :-) UPDATE: 2015 April 19 I bought the Target brand name "up&up" soft 36 double roll package for $14.49; and compared to this Envision package for $45.10: Cost per 1000 square inch: Target 9.5 cents, Envision 6.3 cents; but one can use about 15% less square inch of the Target brand because of it being more fluffy/soft. So, a more realistic number for Target would be 8.1 cents per area. Cost per ounce: Target 9.7 cents, Envision 8.7 cents; this may be a better indicator of value. These calculations do not include sales tax.
