Why Amazon’s Presto toilet paper is the best deal

I’m really picky about the type of toilet paper I use, and with good reason. A few years ago, I was actually injured by scratchy toilet paper and had to see a doctor over it. So now I buy the fluffiest stuff I can find, even though it’s not always the cheapest. I like to save money though, so when I noticed that Amazon has a best-selling brand of inexpensive toilet paper that people rave about in the reviews, I decided it was worth a look.

It’s called Presto, and it has more than 122,000 (!) reviews from verified customers with an average rating of 4.7 out of five stars—kind of amazing for toilet paper. It’s also a great deal— regularly priced at just $29 for a 24-pack of “mega rolls,” which is equivalent to 120 regular rolls. However, Amazon Prime members can save 20% on Presto toilet paper — along with dozens of other Amazon brand essentials — during the “Stock Up & Save” event. That takes this 24-pack down to just $23.

All you need to do to unlock the extra savings is spend at least $50 (max bonus discount you’ll receive is $100). There’s even a helpful progress bar at the top that shows how close you are to reaching the deal, and you’ll be delighted to see the total savings will be highlighted at checkout. If you aren’t yet a Prime member, no worries — now is a great chance to take advantage of the free 30-day trial and reap these rewards.

My toilet paper epiphany was caused by my husband deciding to save some money and bringing home a cheap variety that was made of who-knows-what. After a few uses, I developed puffiness and a burning sensation down there that got so bad I had to seek medical attention. I didn’t know at the time that toilet paper could actually injure you, but…it did. And it wasn’t fun. It turned out that the cheap TP had given me “micro-cuts” down there, which were causing my symptoms. My doctor recommended that I stop using the scratchy toilet paper immediately, temporarily use a cream and invest in better bathroom tissue going forward.

I read some of the thousands of reviews on Amazon and decided to give Presto toilet paper a chance. Now I’m as big of a believer as the reviewers.

One five-star reviewer wrote: “I pee about a million times a day and need sensitive toilet paper that lasts a long time and is cost-effective. I was intrigued to find out Amazon now had its own variety of toilet paper, and I can say after giving it a try for two months, I am extremely impressed. I typically purchase Angel Soft, Charmin Ultra Soft, or Cottonelle…Amazon Presto has it all. One of these rolls lasts me at least two days and the material is super soft and absorbent.”

“My butt has never felt better,” says another satisfied shopper. “Think Charmin commercial with the bears rubbing the TP on their faces. It’s that soft. Thick rolls lead to less used at every visit with John. Less used = lasts longer = money saved.”

Two thousand swabs for 9 bucks? You’d pay $24 for the same number of Q-tips. Over 4,600 shoppers have already given these Amazon Basics swabs a perfect five-star rating, and fans say they’re just as good as the other leading brands. “Just gotta say that I am thoroughly impressed with these,” wrote a happy bargain-hunter. “I wasn’t expecting them to be comparable to any large brand names, but they were! You could put these right up against the higher-priced Q-tips and not know which is which! I’ll definitely be coming back when it’s time to restock!!”

When a store-brand product gathers more than 9,000 five-star reviews, we figure it must be a great item.

Many shoppers say they like the Solimo wipes more than the popular brand-name ones. “Prefer these to Lysol. I’ll use Lysol if I am out of these, but with the convenience and timely delivery that rarely happens,” says one reviewer. “Works just as great as Clorox wipes at half the price,” says another shopper.

Toss this fab beauty tool in your cart, too. The nine mini razors stand ready to shape your brows and dermaplane your beautiful face, and over a thousand five-star shoppers say they work great!

One raved: “Must-have beauty tool. Every Lady or gent looking for a quick alternative to plucking chin hairs with a tweezer must have this tool. I was always under the impression if you shaved your face it would grow back denser. NOT true! This exfoliates and leaves your face as smooth as a baby’s bottom.”

Remember to nab something snacky for yourself. There are lots of groceries to stock up on in this deal for Prime members: from coffee and snack bars to nuts galore, such as this popular (and yummy) trail mix.

One of the 10,000+ five-star reviewers cheered: “Love – real M&Ms, plenty of cashews, and almonds! I am absolutely in love with this trail mix. The price of this trail mix seems like a steal considering the contents…I usually fill up a one-cup container with trail mix and then keep it in my work bag.”

Don’t stuff your pooch with fillers and additives. Feed them wholesome foods. These freeze-dried treats are made with 100% chicken (or lamb, if you prefer). No extra junk. Sourced and freeze-dried in the U.S.A.

Over 4,800 shoppers have given these a perfect five-star rating, claiming that they’re for dogs in training and for sensitive stomachs too! “Happy dog,” raved one proud pup-parent. “Our dog can only eat hypoallergenic foods. The vet suggested freeze-dried pure meat treats…He’s an A++ student when using these.” Another wrote: “These treats are just as good as other brands that are double in price. Also, a vet-approved treat for my 13-year-old dog in the later stages of chronic kidney disease!”

Don’t throw away money on trash bags. Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling 13-gallon bags (120-count) are durable, reliable, and just over 12 cents a bag with this deal! (If you think that’s low, the 200-pack comes to less than 11 cents a bag!) And they have some 89,200 five-star ratings!

“Solid bags,” wrote a five-star reviewer. “I could tell no difference between these and their brand-named counterpart except they’re around $2.30 less for 120 bags and the .mil ratin for these are 0.9. Some name brands were only 0.78 .mil. Just an FYI…regardless of what they call the bag, or its super duper strength, the one and only aspect which matters is the .mil number. The higher the .mil number, the better the bag.”
