Bounty vs Viva Paper towels

[Anonymous]

Which one is a better value, considering both cost and quality?

Rag FTW.

Store brand from Wegman’s or Costco. But I currently have the Viva brand and they are nice too.

Viva has a weird thick texture I don't like. Costco store brand is just like Bounty imo.

Also, I put a little hamper under my sink and try to use fabric towels for anything that won't absolutely ruin them. Working ok so far.

The new package of Bounty I just opened from Costco is terrible. Thin and scratchy.

Neither is a better value compared to other options, but I like the texture of Viva — and if I only use them to wipe up water or something like that, they can be reused and even rinsed and reused.

I like Viva because I feel like their "tear a size" sheets are smaller than the Bounty ones so it is less wasteful. But I have no empirical evidence to support that.

Yes, I rinse and reuse Viva sometimes.

I live in CA & have not seen Viva for years in the store.

I purchase Bounty paper towels + think they have the best quality over all others.

Bar none.

+1 for Viva here - like the select a size too.

If you’re just looking to save money buy shop rags. They’re basically paper towels just a lot cheaper.

Bounty — they have select a size, too, and they are thick and absorbent and can be reused (they don’t fall apart the minute they get wet). Viva doesn’t seem as strong.

Sparkle.

I've used Bounty for years, and I hate those "select-a-size" ones with a burning passion. I wouldn't mind, but the regular ones are becoming harder and harder to find.

Viva, hands down!
