It goes on sale pretty often, and is much like Scott, although they are coming out with a softer version too. We can get it at our local grocery store, no problem, and its cheaper than 7th Gen. Its 100% recycled! Yay! I recommend Marcal. It goes on sale pretty often, and is much like Scott, although they are coming out with a softer version too.

Relatively soft and not too overpriced in my book. I agree that TJ’s toilet paper sucks, but I just realized, I don’t use Seventh Generation, I use a brand called Green Forest with similar packaging.

It's fairly soft, although we are not that picky. It comes in a 12 pack, too. At work, we've gone green and now use all recycled paper products. I have no idea what the brand is, but it's very soft--much softer than the non-green rolls that we used to have. So, don't fear the recycled stuff!

I'm not sure where that is on the soft/bad scale. PS The plumber told us that Angel Soft would have worked fine as well. I’m not sure where that is on the soft/bad scale.

But this is what finally made him a convert: our 1940s plumbing backed up into our basement not once, but twice. Not. Pretty. The plumber told us that basically our drainage from the house was getting clogged by all that super-lofty toilet paper; it just doesn't break down fast enough to wash free. Now we use something from Safeway called Bright Green. Recycled, feels a bit like paper, and we're used to it. You can get used to anything (except constant plumbing bills).
