12 super rolls = 22 Select-a-Size regular rolls
Individually wrapped rolls
-------
some arithmetic
-----------------
number of sheets * size of sheets * number of rolls = how much paper towels you're getting
(154 * 11 * 6 * 12) / price = cost per area of towel.
121968 sq inches of paper towel / 21.99 = 5546.55 square inches of towel per dollar
----------
(210 * 11 * 9 * 12) = 249480
249480 / 26.63 = 9368.38 square inches of paper towel per dollar.
The Bounty is almost twice as expensive.

OK, so just for interest this is what we are currently using:
http://www.meijer.com/s/meijer-essen...lls/_/R-192189
I make that over 10K sq inch per dollar, plus I probably paid one or two dollars less than that because I always buy on sale. And I didn't have to shell out so much $ in one go to get that price. We tend to alternate between this and Aldi brand -which is a little more expensive but does the small sheet size hich means we use less, plus Aldi and Meijer are in different parts of town, so i shop where i am. In desperation I'll buy Walmart's cheapo stuff, but the quality is sub standard.
