Why would anybody pay more for Andrex when Nicky is better quality and cheaper?

Not sure I can wipe my derriere on something named after my first girlfriend. Then again......

Was two for £7 until quite recently at Farm Foods. Also the sheet count went down last year from 180/roll to 170/roll, so a little shrinkflation too. But yes, in spite of the effective price rises this is definitely still the best value, good quality loo roll around, and can be a little cheaper if you can take advantage of other FF deals and use their £2.50 off £25 vouchers.

I love their kitchen roll that Farmfoods does. It has a lovely image of lemons and foiliage on it, slightly kitsch.

I agree. Tried these for the first time last week and I'm never going back.

Indeed,I've been using Nicky for years and a while ago we tried some Andrex that was on offer,no comparison,the Nicky is far superior.

I used to think the same. I have found that andrex is far better quality and actually lasts longer. It's also wound tighter on the roll whereas nicky I found was quite loose and gave the mere impression that it had the same number or more sheets than andrex. In short I found it to be a false economy.
I live with a family of 4. Used to get through at least a roll of nicky a day. Andrex rolls last at least a half day more sometimes a whole day. Plus it is actually stronger.

Regular price at home bargains and b&m which isn't much more than these but wouldn't go back to any other brand, these are the best out there
