Tesco Value Facial Tissues

Tissues were a very difficult find in my house before my daughter appeared on the scene, loo paper used to be used for the occasional blowing your nose and it would be a special trip to the chemist or supermarket if either my husband or me had a cold. This all changed on the birth of my daughter, tissues became a regular purchase on my weekly shop. With the rapidly increasing cost of my grocery shopping recently, I have noticed more and more Tesco Value products entering my trolley. One of these products is Tesco Value Tissues. In the past I have purchased Tesco Balm Tissues at £1.49 a box and ... more

These are a hidden gem at Tesco's, very undervalued and always placed on the bottom shelves - to make way for the other leading brands who have paid for the best shelf spaces, I guess... These are a box of tissues by Tesco's own value brand. They used to cost 36p for a box of 150 2-ply tissues. This already, without accounting for the quality of the tissues, is an absolute bargain in itself, excellent value for money. The quality of the tissues cannot really be compared with the leading brands. Not really as soft and as nicely folded, but in their own league, these Tesco Value tissues do hold ... more

Shops own brands of facial tissues can be quite nice. They are really cheap to buy if you use a lot of them and want to keep a box handy around the home. My little grandchildren often have runny noses and recently my grandson came to stay over night and he woke up during the night with a runny nose, so I reached for these tissues. The tissues come in a very basic cardboard box, the box has an oval shape hole at the top of the box. Inside the tissues are a white colour and neatly folded. They are really easy to pull out of the box too, one by one and not a whole lot of tissues coming out at the ... more

You hear the letterbox clang and you make a dash to see if the postie has left you anything remotely interesting. This mornings offering came in the form of a leaflet advising how to ward off swine flu, or how to deal with it should you be unfortunate enough to contract it and Natwest would be delighted to sell us yet another of their very tempting insurance policies !... I know I am slow but I am getting to the point! Here we are trying to Save the Planet, recycle, re-use odd scraps of paper and then wham bam there is half a tree popping through your letterbox! There is some kind of ... more

At first glance, you may think that this Tesco Value product is value for money, as the range suggests. You pay a mere 35p and you get 150 2 ply tissues in a box that is easy to access. In my experience, Tesco Value products are either hit or miss, with a rare few items being middle of the road. Sadly with this one, it's a big miss, in more ways than one. The box is bland and boring, as are all products in the range. If you're worried about appearances, you could always take the tissues out of this box and put them in a separate one for display purposes, I suppose, although if you have a cold ... more
