Amazon shoppers say £6 buy is 'great cost-effective addition to any house'
During the summer Amazon Prime Day event, running from July 8 to 11, the online retailer announced reductions on a wide range of goods, including top-tier electronic devices, stylish clothes, beauty products and children's toys. Amongst these bargains was the Amazon 2-Ply Embossed Toilet Roll.
In an impressive pack of 18 rolls, the Amazon own brand batch packs in 200 sheets per roll. Available exclusively to Prime members, families can now bulk buy this bathroom necessity for the bargain price of £5.84.
This means thrifty shoppers with enough storage can pick up rolls that work out at approximately 34p each, making bathroom visits a little less expensive over time. Competing bulk deals are also on offer at wholesalers like Costco with their Kirkland Signature Triple Satin 3-Ply Toilet Tissue (40 rolls, £22.99), and at B&Q with the Nicky Soft Touch White Toilet Roll (32 rolls, £10).
But, many Amazon users have been persuaded to abandon the convenience of high-street stores in favour of the digital deal, reports the Mirror. A satisfied customer said: "I didn't realise what I was missing until I tried the Amazon Toilet Roll, 2-Ply Embossed, Soft. It's soft, strong, and makes me feel like I'm living in a five-star hotel bathroom. Seriously, it's like they took the concept of comfort and turned it into paper."

One more shared: "I have used many different types of toilet paper in my life, from that scratchy stuff we had as kids in the 80s to a posh hotel where they gave you a live white dove to wipe your bottom with. But this Amazon stuff is the best: soft but strong, and it doesn't try to fly off when you use it."
A third added: "I usually buy toilet paper from the supermarket, when I do my weekly shopping, but I ran out, so I thought I'd look an Amazon for a quick option. They are soft, thick enough and clean well. Plus, they're budget-friendly!"
However, not all reviews were glowing, with one user claiming: "It's ok but very thin and fragments and leaves bits where you don't want bits - if you know what I mean." Another cautioned: "Probably the most fragile toilet paper I've ever experienced outside of a public loo; you have to use at least three sheets for any sort of integrity!"

Despite these criticisms, the product has gained thousands of positive reviews online. One such review read: "I've been using the Amazon toilet rolls for quite some time now, and I can confidently say they are a fantastic addition to any bathroom. This pack is an absolute lifesaver, especially for busy households like mine. With 200 sheets per roll, you get great value, and they last ages, so you won't find yourself running out unexpectedly."
A fifth customer praised the product in their review saying: "Fantastic quality, I now use these on a rolling delivery instead of a previous brand. The paper is very soft and has a very neutral scent. The rolls are large and last really long."
Shoppers can benefit from never having to think about buying toilet roll again with Amazon's Subscribe and Save model. This offers a small discount for committing to buy the same products again and again after a certain period of time.

All future new store developments will also include solar technology as standard. Jonathan Neale, managing director of national real estate at Aldi UK, said: "By expanding the use of solar panels across our UK stores, we're making practical, long-term changes to how we power our operations, which will help us generate more of our energy on site from renewable sources. "By investing in our estate now, we're strengthening the resilience of our operations and helping ensure we can keep delivering great value for customers across Britain in a more sustainable way."

The retailer has also introduced chiller doors at its stores to cut energy consumption by around 20% per site.

Holiday hotspot loved by Brits dealt huge blow as tourists 'abandon' it
Lanzarote saw a significant decrease in the number of German tourists visiting the island, with a loss of almost 30,000 visitors in a year, according to a new report German tourist numbers have plummeted by nearly 30,000 in just one year on Lanzarote. Between January and May 2025, approximately 146,079 German holidaymakers visited Lanzarote, compared to 174,976 during the same period the previous year. Spain ranks as one of the most visited countries in the world, especially during the summer months. According to FTN News, the most visited cities are Madrid, Barcelona and Seville, with other destinations including the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Valencia and Granada. Nevertheless, the Canary Islands Statistics Institute (ISTAC), which published the data, predicted that tourist numbers would match last summer's figures despite the drop in German arrivals. This was primarily attributed to a surge in British tourists, which rose by just under 40,000, despite widespread protests that have engulfed the archipelago, reports the Express UK visitors to Lanzarote climbed from 691,902 to 738,387 during the five-month period year-on-year, according to Gazette Life. Interestingly, German visitors have dropped by nearly 30,000 in Lanzarote, as marked between the months of January and May 2025. Lanzarote fared well overall, welcoming 1.4 million international tourists - an increase of 46,188 compared to the same timeframe in 2024. With the UK taking the first place, other visitors come from countries such as the Netherlands, Italy, Ireland, France, Belgium, Germany, of course, Spain. Previously, the Canary Islands tourism industry voiced concerns regarding the German government's proposal to increase air ticket taxation. The aviation tax hike took effect in May 2024, pushing the levy for short-distance flights from £10.82 per ticket to £13.46. Nicolás Villalobos, General Director of the Cordial Group, described it as "very bad news". Christoph Ploss, the government's tourism policy coordinator, claimed the former administration had made holidays more costly for Germans. He told German publication Bild: "A well-deserved holiday in Majorca must not become unaffordable." Despite widespread protests, the Canary Islands have seen a surge in visitor numbers, according to data from the Canary Islands National Statistics Institute (INE). Locals have voiced concerns about the negative effects of mass tourism, including rising living and housing costs, strained infrastructure, loss of cultural identity, and overcrowding. Euro News reports that the islands welcomed 4.36 million international tourists in the first quarter of 2025, marking a 2.1% increase compared to the same period last year.
