Need suggestions for inexpensive but high quality towels

[Patiod]

Looking for fluffy white bath towels. I'm thinking hotel-quality. We have a bunch of ugly, threadbare, mis-matched towels, and it's time for new.

Anyone know of a cheap source, ala Hampton Store where we buy candles in bulk for amazingly good prices not available anywhere else (my SO used to pay .94 for votives at the supermarket - I now pay about .14 each in bulk, and he goes through a LOT of them - its a pyromania thing with guys, I think)

1. Kohl is having a 1/2 sale ending tomorrow.

If you spend $75 shipping is free. THeir Big One and Great One towels are excellent.

2. Thanks - I've had good luck with Kohl's

I think I'll go check them out this weekend...

7. I agree...Kohl's

They always have good sales going on, and the towels are big and fluffy.

17. I agree as well

stuff is usually 50% off on sale and Kohls stuff last, also If you have a credit card there at least once a month they give you an extra 20% off anything in the store. Which if you bought an $10 towel you'd end up getting it for like $3 after the 70% discount.

3. I replaced some of mine with Kohl's towels

and they are pretty good. They are often on sale too. JCPenney also makes decent towels. Those are some of the ones I replaced and they lasted me a very long time. Of course I got them years ago so don't know if the quality is the same. I would check department store private labels like Penney's, Sears, Kohl's, etc. You can usually get decent ones without spending a fortune.

4. Stay in an expensive hotel. Leave plenty of room in your luggage.

Capice? Heh-heh.

6. Hehehhe

When I was a little kid I had an aunt who was single at the time and lived with us. She and her friends would travel a lot. I remember wondering where in the world they sold towels that said "Hilton" or "Sheraton" on them. :rofl:

Of course, unless you plan to stay at a hotel anyway, getting good towels that way can be expensive.

9. Hey!

I used to work at both Hilton and Sheraton - Sheraton had the better towels IMHO, but it varies by location and market. Sheraton had a logo of wreath with an S in the middle, so if your name starts with S you're all set.

10. My mother used to have a lot of "Holiday Inn" brand towels

I used to think it was a brand name.

5. I always find the nicest towels

at TJ Max or Burlington.

[Patiod]

11. But do they have white?

I usually see gorgeous towels there, but in unusual colors..

8. These are the towels I have, from Kohl's

http://www.kohls.com/products/product_page_multiple1.jsp?PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=105451277&FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=4695201&bmUID=1154103904058

They are the nicest towels I've ever owned. And I got them on sale!

[Patiod]

13. Wow! They look really nice!

I have Laura Ashley sheets so old that the pattern is all bleached out, but the hems and finishing still holds us.

14. These are so freaking soft, it's amazing.

They are far and away softer than any towels I've ever had. It's the "microcotton", whatever the hell that is. :D

15. Try to find a hotel supply.

Price can be very cheap depending on the amount you buy.
