Never bought paper towels before. Wondering if $2.50 for two rolls of paper towel Handee brand is good value. And what is the best paper towel for cleaning up spills?

Isn't the Handee ones that are one sale for $2.50, double the size of normal paper towels? So really it's ~4 for $2.50.
The Woolies deal I think the OP is referring to is on sale for 2 double length rolls for $5.00. The Viva deal at Coles that has just finished - 2 regular rolls for $2 was better IMO.
Next time you are in the Reject Shop have a look they sometimes do $1 a roll for one of the decent branded paper towels, Handee I think, but I'm not 100% certain. I buy a big pack of 12 and forget about having to buy them again for 6 months LOL. Paper towel is such a rip at regular price.
There was a special on Viva? Darn, I missed it. I've tried most of them, and find it to be the best, at least for our needs.
I find that the double length rolls are always cheaper than even the ones that are on special at the time.
Noticed today that Foodworks has three roll packs of Thick and Thirsty for $2.99.
cool I will go to foodworks. are thick and thirsty good?
I use paper towels a lot at home, mainly for cleaning.
I find the Aldi one-ply, 4 rolls $2.99, better value than Handeee and the other main "multi-ply" brands. I don't need 3-ply for most tasks - and buying them would be both a waste of paper and a waste of money.
(On the rare occasions one-ply is not enough I double or triple up! :)

… and if you want/need 3ply, Aldi's version are $2.29 for 2 rolls.
