Tissue or toliet paper?

Which is cheaper to blow your nose with? I have never bought tissues, but my mind was wondering today for some reason. Thank you for any answers.

TP is cheaper but hankies are even better.

Hankies, and as we say in the South.....take 2 hankies - one to blow and one to show. Also nice to have that extra one to share.

Both if you've gotten them free with a coupon

I don't care.......TP is for the 'southern end'.......tissue is for the north.

I just CAN'T blow my nose on a hanky......then stuff the snot back into my pocket........

I actually did the calculations at one point...as long as you follow the 4 square rule, then TP is much, much cheaper!

Let me see if I can calculate it out....

I buy 4 rolls of 1000 square TP at Aldi's for $2.29.
Following the 4 square rule, I get 1000 uses per package.
Cost per use is: 0.002 cents per use

Let's say I get a 216 count box of kleenex on sale for $1.99
Cost per use is: 0.009 cents per use

While it seems silly, since both cost under a penny, there really is a significant difference over time!

Thanks for the replies! I am from the south, but I just can't do a hanky...like frugalfranny says.

For a cold......I use tissues...but for the little drips and sneezes hankies. But I haven't had a cold in over 4 years. At the first sign of someone's cold I take Air Borne and prevent the cold from coming.
