We use a lot of tissues in my house! 3 DDs (1,7,8) plus my 4 daycare kids and we go through at least an 80-ct box each week. What is the cheapest but best tissue you have used? I don't like the crappy ones that get snot on my hand, especially when it does not belong to my own kids!!

We do not buy cheap tissues, but we do not buy the most expensive either. We buy the kleenex 3 ply you can find in the multi pack in Bj's wholesale. I usually have a coupon on top of that too. I can not stand snot on my hands either. I will not buy really cheap tissues.

I don't like the cheap tissues either. We go to Sam's and buy their brand, I think its Member's Mark. They are almost thicker than Kleenex and WAY cheaper.

We use handkerchiefs. Truly if you're using that much facial tissue, that's what I recommend.

I use Kleenex and I buy it at the Dollar store. Using handkerchiefs or any other cloth is just yucky IMO. I can't stand to see someone blow their nose and then put the handkerchief back in their pocket. Gross!

I was having the same problem to. I found that if I cut the tissue in half for the kids it last longer. Now the ones I use to wipe noses is a whole sheet.
It really works.

I do Puffs tissues. It's worth the $5 a month (sometimes $10 during cold/allergy season) for a pack of three large boxes with soft tissues for those sensitive noses...Not one of the areas I worry about. Now...to reduce the mortgage and gas costs and not overspend on Christmas...
