Why is kitchen roll so bloody expensive?

[Tootsweetrodders]

First world problem obviously..

But why the mother fecking feck is kitchen roll SO expensive?!

Possibly it’s just me and my — Sunday evening, but drunk, doing the shopping on my phone app in front of shit telly - self…

Not what you asked, but maybe try something like this instead?

I think it’s to do with the fact that the price of wood rocketed a while back. They said then that the price of paper and loo roll etc would rise.

Because it's a luxury and not a necessity?

Or a dish cloth? I hardly ever use it but DH likes it for cleaning windows.

You don't need kitchen roll. Use a cloth.

Just don’t buy it!

YANBU!

Not only is it hugely more expensive, most of it is utter rubbish falling to bits...the quality has gone down massively while the price has shot up!

Going to give up my quest for discovering some decent kitchen roll

Regina Blitz is the only kitchen roll worth buying and is now only afforded by Scrooge McDuck

YANBU. It was £6 for two normal mingy rolls in coop the other day. Obviously I didn’t buy it and let the children use the posh pretty paper napkins I was saving instead as that was cheaper. Anyway, it was a sea change and I’m going back to cloth napkins now and bits of cut up old bath towel for cleaning spills etc.

God knows, I have no idea why people buy it, I just use washable cloths instead.

Was doing a shop for an event last week. I have a spreadsheet with last year's prices for the same event.

Kitchen roll was one of the things that had gone up most in price.

The one thing that had decreased in price?

Own brand Rice Crispies.

Fuck know why!

I agree op it is sooo expensive.
And to pp who say use a dishcloth, l can't use a dishcloth to drain my chips on!! Plus dishcloths need washing a lot so thay can't be good either.

YANBU.

I use it for my diabetic dc finger pokes, priming his insulin pens on, I go through 2/3 rolls a week.
I'm beginning to wonder if it's secretly made out of gold!

Ooh how do these work? Do you wash them all at once and then pop them back on? I'd worry I'd never use the end ones

Was saying this the other day I like the tall rolls so they fit my holder it’s an expensive habit 😂

I took this photo the other day as I was so horrified that anyone would pay £6.60 for 2 kitchen rolls! Madness!

Don't buy it, use fabric cloths and for anything that is genuinely yucky enough, use clean rags and then throw them away.

I like Regina Blitz. £5 for one large roll.
I don't like it that much!

For cooking things yes sometimes you need kitchen towel!

I mean the one next to it is £3.50 so you'd be an absolute mug to pay that much

Use fabric cloths. We use dry cheeky wipes as kitchen roll equivalent. You absolutely can dry chips on them, then put them in the washing machine til the next wash.

Check out amazon subscribe and save, often much cheaper

I use reusable mainly, tho have normal for stuff too messy and yuk for reusable, great, so much less expensive.
i keep mine in plastic tub on worktop

More people are buying them so they make more money overall off them?

I cut up and hemmed some old towels and use them for almost everything we used to use kitchen roll for. I wash them about once a week with e cloths and tea towels. They’re horribly stained but I suppose I could bleach them occasionally.
