Best TP?
I thought I didn't really mind the rougher EF toilet paper, but I think I do. I could live with it, and I do, but wow... long story short I forgot to buy TP and some dog people came by with an emergency, and happened to have a roll of TP in their truck! Nice, fancy, plush TP that was probably made from old-growth forests and small children. But it was so nice. And I realized I used much less of it.
Why can't there be a softer, thicker EF TP?? Is there? I have Seventh Generation this time and it says its now softer. Wow, I'd hate to feel what it was like before then!!
What's the best EF TP? I don't care about price really. I'm one person, high-end TP isn't going to break my budget, even though its tight.
Re: Best TP?
Oh I was just griping! I'll still find time at some point to stop in and get some to try out. I just think its weird that an EF brand is sold there, and not at Whole Foods or any of our local 'green' chains like PCC or Metropolitan Market.
I prefer not to shop with big companies, other than Whole Foods, and its not convenient, but for nicer TP, I will make a special trip. Fred Meyer is a Kroger store.
I second Marcal - we tried several and this was the only one that passed the test!
If you like it you can sign up for coupons on their website.
How odd!! Hmm...we have Ace Hardware but it didn't come up on the list.
I don't have anything particular against Kroger, I just feel that shopping at the big chain grocers supports the whole conglomerate food industry that I don't agree with. I'd go in and buy TP, and will, but its odd, since we have like 3 large, successful local chains that are all about being green, and Whole Foods!
I'm glad to see Marcal has such good reviews! I'm not thrilled with Seventh Generation, or whatever I had before.
Maybe you could request it at one of the greener places you shop regularly? A lot of retailers are open to at least trying out products their customers' requests.
We're one year into our inherited single ply TP (some of it dated 1986!) When we run out someday, I'll try this magical Marcal.
I'm blessed with a non-sensitive tush, but I've used Green Forest and TJ's w/o issue or complaints from Mr.P.
CVS also has a recycled option, but I haven't tried it.
lmao!! Wow, I'd use 1/2 ply if it were free!
I'll buy the Marcal, you can visit again and try it out here! Hank misses you!
I mostly use President's Choice GREEN, but that's a Canadian generic.
I bought some Purex recycled stuff. It was fine. I can't fathom how bad American recycled TP is - it's got to be worse than I what I buy, as my TP has always been unremarkable.
