This is not a bad price. But FWIW, you can get the Equate 500 count of cotton swabs for this price at Walmart every day.

Thank you! Also, the 4-pack is 7.86 with 15% S&S. OK, not a huge saving. Applause

Are these plastic tubes? I ask because the plastic tube version isn't nearly as rigid as the paper version (Q tip) and they'll bend much easier making cleaning things more difficult. Q-tip brand are $0.00506/ea at BJ's (buy 3x625). This deal would be $0.00408, ~ 20% cheaper, but honestly it's not a huge savings unless you're using tens of thousands.

That's why NOT worth it to buy some crappy stuff and have to suffer through them.

Been suckered with a bunch of those claims.
Only to regret the purchase.

Examples:
Trash Bags
Various Number of Kcups
Paper Towels
Foil
Cling Wrap
Plastic Bags

I am using this right now. The quality is not very good. The cotton is very loosely attached.
