31 Things That Are Not Worth the Money

Cheap Paper Towels

Family Dollar Paper Towels: $1

When it comes to buying paper towels, you get what you pay for. You might feel like you are saving money by buying bargain paper towels, but if they don’t work well, you end up having to use more product than you would have if you had just sprung for a better brand. In a Consumer Reports paper towel test, Bounty DuraTowel, which sells for about $2.50 per roll, got the highest marks, while store-brand rolls like Family Dollar’s Family Values Paper Towel and CVS’s Just The Basics Paper Towels were ranked among the worst.
