Paper towel coupons are something often overlooked, so why are we covering them here at Grocery Coupons 360? The answer is readily evident in a trip down the paper goods aisle. In recent years we have found the prices of paper towels have risen faster than inflation as the prices of paper pulp have increased. So paper towel coupons provide an important savings tool for family budgets.

When thinking about paper towel coupons, the first question is what sort of paper towel do you want and what brand. Often one strategy is to think about which of the brands has the best price or paper towel coupon offered. The other strategy that I have come to prefer is to first think about the type of paper towel desired or the brand and then looking to see if paper towels coupons on that brand or type is available.

Paper towels come in all different qualities, weight and sizes. Often the lighter weight paper towels (thinner) are noticeably cheaper, and sometimes store brands are too. However, the lighter weight paper towels often do not have anywhere near the absorbency of the more expensive paper towels, and you wind up using them a lot faster. Not really a cost savings after all. That is an important reason why paper towel coupons are an important grocery coupons shopping savings strategy.

Currently my favorite type is the select-a-size or pick-a-size paper towel rolls, such as from Brawny or Bounty. The reason I go for those is that they really aren’t variable size, but what they are is smaller cut sheets. Rarely do you need a big sheet, so a smaller sheet is absorbent enough. That makes the roll last much longer. If you really need a full size sheet, then unrolling two or three of the select-a-size sheets will do the trick.

Of course there are non-economic reasons for favoring smaller sheets as well – after all the less paper consumption, the better for the environment (fewer trees needed) and also better for landfill preservation.
As with other types of grocery coupons, often the best strategy for finding paper towels coupons is to check out the up to date offers that you may find on this page. It tends to be easier and less time consuming than the two other strategies, namely going to particular brand’s sites, or alternatively going to the particular supermarket websites to see if they have any current coupons. Another is the coupon aggregation sites, but often you need to weed through inapplicable or out of date coupons. Some of the major brands for which you might find a paper towel coupon – whether an online printable coupon or printed coupons for paper towels – are Scott, Bounty, Sparkle, Earth Friendly, Basic, Viva, Brawny, Mardis Gras, Seventh Generation, and So-Dri.

In summary, paper towel coupons provide cost savings on different types of rolls – whether thicker more absorbent sheets or select-a-size smaller sheets. Enjoy, shop and save.
