Same price at Costco for the name brand

I'm all about generic over name brand for most things....

I'll never buy generic cotton swabs again.
Staff be staffposting. I just bought a 500 pack from Walmart for $2.18 on Monday after checking the Amazon price and finding it higher.

Also, insert stupid engagement bait question here about can I use this to clean my ears or whatever.

These are the worst! Literally the cotton comes off just using it normally in your ear. I'm always afraid it's gonna get stuck in my ear canal…

These aren't even close to the q-tip brand in quality. Now I have like 2K of these to get through, since I bought a bunch on sale…😩

these suck so much. Put any pressure on them and they'll bend, and the soft part isn't that soft or pliable. do not recommend this one bit.

I thought these were pretty good and are comparable to q tips. But I use them only for applying concealer makeup.

Surprisingly, I cant tell any difference between these and the Q-tip brand. I've bought 2 packs of them the past year. The packaging is pretty much identical, too.

I used to say that too when it comes to Qtips. However, these are really that good. I can't tell the difference and I'm picky!

This is maybe $.20 off. Whoopie! I think I will stick with a bulk box of q-tips from Costco.

Odd. I had a different experience. The 2 packs that I have bought over the past year are as well-made as the Q-tip brand. The stems are strong and there is plenty of cotton on the tip.

What a GREAT deal! I've been waiting months to clean my ears but I refused to be price gouged! Finally after all this time I get to save 13 cents! I'll get my hearing back and my wife will once again come near me now that I can get that crud out of my ears. Maybe start that retirement account with the 13 cents I saved.
