Not All Cottonelle is Created Equal
I've been buying Cottonelle for years and am VERY loyal. I've been buying my Cottonelle from Costco for several years as the amount of product you get for what you pay is great. Then I saw this "deal" on Amazon and jumped on it, thinking $3.99 for 12 rolls is actually much better than the great price I got at Costco. I was wrong.
When I received this shipment, the difference in product quantity was immediately clear. As you can see in the picture, the roll width isn't even remotely close. What isn't obvious in the picture is how much more densely-rolled the Costco product is than this one on Amazon; it's so much more tightly rolled than the Amazon product.
Making this less subjective and more numbers-based, the amount of square footage per roll is:
- Amazon: 13.3
- Costco: 28.1
Like I said, I'm very brand loyal to Cottonelle but I feel it necessary to let others know what I have found to be poor value. I just won't make this same mistake again. I will keep getting my Cottonelle where I know the quality, quantity and value is still high.
