Because I am insane, I decided to break down the actual costs of the paper towels that Amazon.com offers. It is hard to tell because of varying roll lengths, sheet sizes, and case quantities. In the end, I found them cheaper elsewhere, but if you are an Amazon loyalist and/or like Subscribe & Save, you may be tempted to order them anyway. [Subscribe & Save discount shown in brackets.]
Cheapest per foot (most accurate measure of value):
SCOTT LONG ROLLS (case of 16) = $2.54 /100ft [$2.16 /100ft]
Cheapest per sheet with “regular” size (10″-11″) sheets:
SCOTT LONG ROLLS (case of 16) = $2.32 /100 11″ sheets [$1.98 /100 11" sheets]
Cheapest per sheet (mainly because sheets are smaller/half size):
SEVENTH GENERATION (case of 30) = $1.32 /100 5.4″sheets [$1.12 /100 5.4" sheets]

These paper towels are as good as any cheaper paper towels; they are not cloth-like or super thick, but they are as good as any other paper towels you might find for the same price that aren’t made of recycled materials. In short, they are cheap and better for the environment than non-recycled, chlorine-bleached products.

I don’t use paper towels for cleaning up large amounts of liquids, or the likes; that’s what towels are for. These work great for me in the small uses, and I love the fact that it is recycled, as well as whitened without chlorine!

These paper towels are very very thin. They rip easily when using them to clean or when you try to pull them off the roll. The also don’t have very many sheets per roll. I would recommend searching for another environmentally friendly brand.

These are thin and there are only a few sheets per roll. I highly recommend doing a search for recycled tissues on Amazon. I got a great price on Marcal recycled paper towels and they are great! Your best bet is to buy in bulk.
