Why is it so difficult to find regular sized paper towels at the store? Every single multi-pack of every single brand nowadays always seems to be the select-a-size paper towels. I hate those! Just give me my standard, one size, square sheet paper towels.



Not trying to be a smart a-s-s, but why don't you just take two of the single ones at a time? That would be the same size, wouldn't it? That's what I do when I want a larger size.

I just grab the towels at the store and don't even notice that they don't have the regular size. I'm very observant, am I not?  :silly:

We took a quick getaway to the beach for the Fourth and stayed in our Timeshare, where they said regulations made them put all brand new paper products in each room for every new guest. They let us take the leftovers home.

lol Yeah because apparently you can't touch anything that anybody else has touched. ::)

My daughter gave me a reusable paper towel for Christmas.  It's really nice for cleaning.  Use and just throw in washing machine to clean.  I wouldn't use it for messy spills.  Sometimes you need a real paper towel so you can throw it away afterwards.  But, look into the reusable ones.

I like the select size towels because my family always uses to many for small jobs.  They seem to last longer since they are using the smaller size now.

I'm not that obsessive about paper towels.  On the other hand, toilet paper is very important to me.

I guess we buy the same kind over and over because I haven't run into that. It sounds kinda handy to be able to select a size, then again I already do that just by tearing off however much I need.

Paper towels seem to be getting smaller and smaller.  I miss old timey sizes.  My daddy used to be completely hidden behind his newspaper at night.  Today, the newspaper has shrunk so small, it looks like a toy!

Our stores have a lot of paper towel, I have never really checked but I'm sure they have both.

we just use the brown rolls of paper towels, they are easier to find and last longer.

I love the select a size ones, but I have been able to find both, sometimes only the regular size ones, you will need to shop around

I like the Select-A-Size paper towels.  So often people waste 5 or 6 large regular size towels....they just yank off a large section.  Our poor landfills and world.
