Why You Should Never Buy Facial Tissues At Costco

With an overall score of 60, the tissues were rated in just middle of the pack by CR. Priced at $1.23, the product ratings bible says, "So-so strength is its big shortcoming." The softness of the tissues was pretty good, however. But when you are buying tissues, isn't strength super important? That is why CR touts the equally-priced Puffs Basic since this name brand boasts both strength and softness. To review, you don't even have to spend more money and you get better quality — this sounds like a no-brainer to us!

Customers aren't in love with the product either. "Not very smooth — the paper is very cheap and rough. I don't recommend it," one user says on Influenster. "These are not the softest tissue. However, the price is great!" admits another tissue user. To be fair, plenty of reviewers are happy with the tissues, especially one who says if you aren't picky about tissues, these are a great buy. 

The New York Times Wirecutter rates Puffs as the best buy. So if you don't want to mess around when it comes to tissues, you know what to do. If tissue quality isn't the most important thing in your world, by all means, go with the Kirkland Signature brand. Having some tissues on hand is better than nothing.
