Bounty Select-A-Size Paper Towels vs Great Value Everyday Strong Paper Towels

Buy Bounty if absorbency and fewer roll changes matter most; buy Great Value if you want a low-commitment two-roll pack with certified fiber. Bounty's Select-A-Size half sheets and 2x-absorbency claim let you use less per spill, and its 6 Mega Rolls last far longer between changes. Great Value is thinner 2-ply and comes in a small pack, but it is FSC-certified and rated nearly as high by a much larger pool of owners.

  • Choose the Bounty if you deal with big or frequent spills and want strong, absorbent half sheets that cut down how often you reorder.
  • Choose the Great Value if you want a small, FSC-certified pack for light everyday wipe-ups and don't need heavy-duty absorbency.

Prices

  • Bounty Select-A-Size Paper Towels: $8.99 at Blain's Farm & Fleet (last seen Nov 8)

Questions and answers

Which is better for kitchen spills?
Bounty. Its half sheets and higher absorbency handle juice, grease and bigger spills with fewer sheets. Great Value works for small wipe-ups but shreds on heavy ones.
Which lasts longer?
Bounty. Six Mega Rolls at 135 sheets each give 1,080 sheets, roughly five times the 220 sheets in the Great Value pack.
Is Bounty worth stepping up to?
If you clean up spills often, yes. The absorbency and half-sheet sizing mean you use less per mess, and the bigger rolls cut reordering. For light wiping, Great Value is enough.
Is Great Value strong enough for wet jobs?
For light wet wipe-ups, yes. It is 2-ply but thinner than Bounty, so it can tear when scrubbing or soaking up a large spill.
Does either have certified fiber?
Great Value lists FSC certification. Bounty's listing does not name a third-party certification.
Which do owners rate higher?
Close. Bounty sits at 4.6 from about 10,600 ratings; Great Value at 4.5 from about 52,500, a much larger sample.
