Next week, CVS has the Charmin/Bounty/Duracell deal, but it looks like the deal only includes the Bounty Basic and not the "regular" Bounty. I've always used the regular kind and have never ever tried the Basic. Anyone care to tell me what, if any, difference there is and why you prefer one over the other??

Anyone???

They aren't quite as strong as the regular, and they don't put as many sheets on the roll

IMO Bounty Basic aren't worth buying. They are super thin and don't pick up anything. The regular Bounty worked for me in that deal.

Whoops, I meant the regular worked for me on the deal at the beginning of June, not sure on the one for next week. Sorry!

I agree w/ mintman. Bounty Basic is usally cheaper but it does not absorb liquid as well. I personally don'l like it b/c once it gets wet it seems like it takes more to o the job.

The difference is night and day. A while back I realized we were down to one roll of Bounty so I tried the Bounty Basic in a jam. Bad idea!! I spilled something in the kitchen and it took literally the entire roll plus a dish towel to clean it and it wasn't even a big spill.

Good to know ~ Thx! I'm wondering whether the deal will work on the regular Bounty this time since they are not pictured in the ad!?

I use paper towels sparingly, and use rags for big spills. I hate to see waste. For me the Bounty BAsic works great.
