There have been studies. White Cloud, available at Walmart, is considered a Best Buy in quality and value.

This may be the study Judy is talking about:

www.realsimple.com/.../best-toilet-paper

I only buy the store brand at Big Lot....when I did a by the sheet calculation almost 2 years ago when I was doing my most intensive budget pare down ever, it was the least among all the name and store brands. I check the package every now and again to make sure they aren't short sheeting it (pun intended), but it seems to have stayed the same price and quantity since I did my study.

Sometimes if there are really good coupons and/or in-store rebates on a name brand at our Giant Eagle, if the per sheet cost is equal to or less than Big Lots brand and I am already there (so no extra trip), I will buy it, but that is rare.

I find all of the name brands to fluffy...and they shred easily...which I hate.

Most of the studies were done several years ago so they may not be the same in today's market.
Consumer's Report (2016) listed White Cloud.

• Consumers Report (2016) stated:
• "While the best all-around toilet paper is Walmart's White Cloud Ultra Soft & Thick, it isn't the very softest. For that, Consumer Reports recommends Walgreens' Nice Premium Ultra. It's not all that strong, but it is very soft."

• Remember there are several different products made by all companies so be sure you are looking at the same one that a report shows and not one of their other products.
• One of the latest reports shows Cottonelle - Ultra ComfortCare as the softest they also rate Quilted Northern - Ultra Plush as a close second.

• Why not compare some of these listed (price comparison is usually marked on price label at Walmart) and then whatever you buy keep notes on how much it cost as well as how well you like it and then decide whether to continue with that brand or move on to something else.
• A very big point to remember is that prices for each product varies by whatever store you use.
