I have to admit we are a bounty house but a few years ago when one of our cats got sick and we were going through more papertowel than anyone house hold should (I should have bought stocks in papertowel, it was insane) we ran into a time when bounty was not on sale and we NEEDED papertowel. We went shopping and our choice for a cheap papertowel to get us until Bounty went on sale was no name or sponge towels, thinking sponge towels would be better than the no name paper towel we got the sponge towels. Big mistake we could not clean anything up with them, they did absorb liquids well the liquids just leak through onto your hand but at the same time it took forever to clean up any mess.

After this experience I always keep atleast one extra large pack of bounty around.
