We running out of tissues (big family and lots of allergies). I usually pick up the multi-box Family Packs of Kleenex at Costco, but I don't know if this is the best price.

Where do you buy tissues and what do you pay?

We have Costco, WalMart, Target, Big Lots, CVS, Longs, Rite Aid, Vons (Safeway ~ which doubles one like coupon up to $1.00).

TIA!

I have to buy Puffs brand which, fortunately, are rather inexpensive. My husband is very picky about the box's shape and opening. No pop-up tissues for him.

Thankfully, we don't go through tissues that often. I only buy a box every 6 weeks or so, maybe less. It used to be that we never bought facial tissues. We either used hankerchiefs or toilet paper. However, in the last couple of years that has changed. It started slowly with one box of tissues in the house. Next thing I knew we had a box in every bathroom, an extra one in the kitchen and sometimes DD would have a box in her playroom or bedroom, too. I even had a box on the headboard in my bedroom for a while. I'm paring back slowly now. So much tissue is ridiculous. Hankerchiefs are better.

Aldi - $1. They are good tissues; picky DH even likes them. When he runs out, he uses TP, but the kleenex are nicer on his poor nose.

I like the pop up box,of either puffs or kleenex. I usually buy on sale for .89 at CVS or Walgreens. I buy for our house and we use TONS and for the office, so when they go on sale I probably buy 10 boxes. I usually have to go several times due to limits.

I actually never buy tissues...except at the beginning of the year to send to school. I guess we're just not a family that needs them. If someone needs to blow their nose, they use toilet paper. LOL

I keep an eye on the ads, and usually get them at Target, CVS, or Walgreen's when they are on sale - in combination with a coupon. I like Kleenex the best, but will accept others.

I only like Puffs they are the softest one out there and when you have a cold or allergies you want the best for your nose. I usually buy them when we need them - don't really stock up much - if I happen to see them on sale I may buy 3 boxes but that is it. I so can't imagine using just TP during cold season.

I use our Paper towels - I buy Kleenex Viva brand towels, which are strong and soft. I never buy tissues. Try them, they are really good.
