Because I am insane, I decided to break down the actual costs of the paper towels that Amazon.com offers. It is hard to tell because of varying roll lengths, sheet sizes, and case quantities. In the end, I found them cheaper elsewhere, but if you are an Amazon loyalist and/or like Subscribe & Save, you may be tempted to order them anyway. [Subscribe & Save discount shown in brackets.] Cheapest per foot (most accurate measure of value): SCOTT LONG ROLLS (case of 16) = $2.54 /100ft [$2.16 /100ft] Cheapest per sheet with "regular" size (10"-11") sheets: SCOTT LONG ROLLS (case of 16) = $2.32 /100 11" sheets [$1.98 /100 11" sheets] Cheapest per sheet (mainly because sheets are smaller/half size): SEVENTH GENERATION (case of 30) = $1.32 /100 5.4"sheets [$1.12 /100 5.4" sheets] All, with analyses, below--- GREEN FOREST (case of 30) = $40.85 [$34.72 with Subscribe & Save] 65 sheets/roll (8.5") x 30 rolls = 1950 sheets = $2.10 /100 sheets [$1.78 /100 sheets] 65 sheets/roll (8.5") x 30 rolls = 1430ft = $2.85 /100ft [$2.43 /100ft] SEVENTH GENERATION (case of 30) = $44.49 [$37.82 with Subscribe & Save] 112 sheets/roll (5.4") x 30 rolls = 3360 sheets = $1.32 /100 sheets [$1.12 /100 sheets] 112 sheets/roll (5.4") x 30 rolls = 1512ft = $2.94 /100ft [$2.50 /100ft] KLEENEX VIVA (case of 32) = $47.31 [Subscribe & Save not available] ? sheets/roll (assuming 10" sheets, there are 52) x 32 rolls = 1664 sheets = $2.48 /100 sheets 519.7"/roll x 30 rolls = 1385.9ft = $3.41 /100ft SCOTT LONG ROLLS (case of 16) = $55.96 [$47.57 with Subscribe & Save] 150 sheets/roll (11") x 16 rolls = 2400 sheets = $2.32 /100 sheets [$1.98 /100 sheets] 150 sheets/roll (11") x 16 rolls = 2200ft = $2.54 /100ft [$2.16 /100ft] SCOTT MEGA CHOOSE-A-SIZE (case of 24) = $48.34 [$41.09 with Subscribe & Save] 102 sheets/roll (7.3") x 24 rolls = 2448 sheets = $1.98 /100 sheets [$1.67 /100 sheets] 102 sheets/roll (7.3") x 24 rolls = 1489.2ft = $3.25 /100ft [$2.76 /100ft] BOUNTY EXTRA SOFT BIG ROLLS (case of 24) = $53.46 [Subscribe & Save not available] 64 sheets/roll (10.4") x 24 rolls = 1536 sheets = $3.48 /100 sheets 64 sheets/roll (10.4") x 24 rolls = 1331.2ft = $4.02 /100ft BOUNTY REGULAR (case of 30) = $43.54 [Subscribe & Save not available] 52 sheets/roll (11") x 30 rolls = 1560 sheets = $2.79 /100 sheets 52 sheets/roll (11") x 30 rolls = 1430ft = $3.05 /100ft

These towels are not as soft or as durable as I was expecting. I find that I am using twice as many towels to clean my glass top stove. As the other reviewers have stated, each roll is not very "mega sized". I will say that the select a size feature is very handy, but not exclusive to this brand of paper towels. Furthermore, from the picture I thought these towels would be all white...but mine arrived with tacky prints all over them. Personally I prefer the Kleenex Viva towels which Amazon also sells.

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY wish I didn't have to buy 24 rolls! Holy cow! How do people find the space to store things purchased in such a HUGE quantity (mine are stacked on a shelf in my garage)? You should have heard my husband when I opened the HUGE box...LOL! I think these will last me at LEAST two years, if not longer. Okay...onto the paper towels themselves... Now that that is off my chest. Really, Amazon...could we do a smaller, more reasonable quantity? 10? 8? 14? I like buying in bulk to save money, but 24 rolls of paper towels is a bit much (I know, I know...I didn't HAVE to buy them...but it's hard to judge how much it really is until you actually see 24 rolls of paper towels) These are absorbent paper towels. I like to buy the choose-a-size because most of the time I can make do with just a half sheet for whatever I use it for. A full sheet usually isn't necessary, so I really like the half sheet choice. If a sheet doesn't tear on a perforation, I don't lose any sleep over it. It's a paper towel. If you are in the market to open a paper towel store ;) then buy this 24 rolls of Scott paper towels. They work. Just make sure you have the room to store them.

I would not buy this product again. The title is misleading; these do not qualify as "Mega" sided rolls. The size is actually what I would call "normal." The "Choose-A-Size" sheets are very small which is actually a plus since you can select the size you would like. However the deal breaker is that the towels break apart and leave small paper particles behind on anything that's not glass.

I like Scott Towels; I've been using them since the days when Scott Paper made them. They are absorbent, durable, and most of all, they are lint-free and the perfect towel for cleaning glass or ceramic surfaces. I like the choose-a-size feature. Two of these towels together make a nifty quick placemat, and the single size is less wasteful, since it's usually enough for a single towel task. But read all that the listing says; these are not the same size rolls as the ones sold singly, and I rather wish they called them something other than "Mega Roll." These are 102-sheet rolls; the ones sold singly in the supermarket are 144 sheets. These rolls are a little less than 30% smaller, if my mental math has not rotted beyond recovery. So they're not really a bargain at this price, but it's not a horrible price either, although supermarket specials can make them noticeably cheaper; and the convenience of having all those paper towels on hand is considerable. I just thought that the issue of the size of the roll should be mentioned.
