Costco for paper towels, toilet paper and some cleaning products. Walmart or Target for the rest or if you don't want to buy jumbo quantity.

We get ours at BJ's Wholesale, it's just like Costco, which we don't have around here.

We buy the generic brands and the prices are really good. I hope they can free that giant freight ship blocking the Suez canal or we'll all be paying more for everything!

I always stay well stocked on paper goods, I had to help my adult kids out when there was not a roll of toilet papaer to be found!

I seem to use a lot of paper towels so Sam's is the place I go. The Members Mark brand individually wrapped (15) total . Great value compared to other brands.

I have gotten some pretty good deals at Dollar General, but I usually just order paper towels and cleaning supples from Sams or Wal Mart. When I had trouble finding paper towels a year ago, I ordered some microfiber cloths from Amazon, maybe some from QVC. I have too many honestly, but I use them to clean with instead of paper towels. This does save money over time.

I do make my own glass cleaner, with a little lemon scented amonia and water in a spray bottle.

Toilet paper, paper towels, & garbage bags from Sams and cleaning supplies from Walmart.

Definitely warehouse clubs; Costco, BJ's, Sam's Club, etc. Also, Walmart and Target.

I don't have a Costco or Sam's Club close enough to me to warrant using one. I find that Wal-Mart and Dollar General normally have the best prices.

My local grocery store, HEB has a good deal on household products, there's usually some coupons available for these items...

@Spurt HEB is coming to North Texas with 2 stores. Unfortunately not close enough to me for regular shopping.

Paper products Walmart, Market Street Grocery for everything else.

They do have good specials and coupons, and their prepared foods are excellent. HEB rules South Texas and drove away the major grocery chains here like---Albertsons, Krogers etc etc...their biggest competition here is Walmart, Costco.....and to a lesser extent we do have others but they can't compete with HEB---Super Target, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, Trader Joes, Sams.....

And each HEB store is dependent on the Manager and the type of store they design for different areas and closeness of competition, there are some stores that are large, well stocked, and a good variety of products....There are others that have mostly store brands, and are poorly stocked this happened even before the pandemic hit, some are too big (they have an electronics and clothing section in a grocery store---trying to compete with Walmart I guess)---They do a LOT for the community too and do treat their employees well....

Aldi

Not so sure about best prices but here's my breakdown:

*Bulk is Costco. Just placed a large order for TP.

*Aldi for paper products in general

*Aldi for basic laundry detergent, baking soda, sponges, etc.

*Cleaning supplies are via The Laundress. I buy when it's 30% off plus since I buy a large amount at a time (bigger savings), I receive perks (free full size products) with orders. Household/floor cleaners, delicate wash, bleach substitute, detergent for sheets).

*Walmart for specific job products (silver polish, ceramic stove cleaner, etc).

Amazon and Target.

RedTop — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 17:43:49 GMT

Paper products, bleach wipes, and dish/laundry detergents come from WalMart and Sam's Club.

I buy bleach and Lysol cleaner at my grocery store. I don't buy any other cleaners.

It varies. I shop sales, but the last year or so, there haven't been many sales on those kinds of things, and simply stocking up at Sam's Club has seemed to be the best deal. Less running to find things, when the limit is just one, the packs are huge and last longer.

@Spurt - We live in So. Cal. but visit our daughter in Selma, Texas. We love HEB and find things there we cannot get at our local stores. I told my dtr. if you have only one major supermarket to shop, you've got one of the best. The variety and quality are great. Wish we had one. We end up bringing things back in the car with us when we leave Texas.

Some of the HEBs are excellent and do carry a wide variety of all kinds of products and you can even find things there that you can't find at many other retailers....And when I needed a new coffeemaker the best price was at HEBs!
