I have discounted two packs of these at $7.99 each which is a good price but the regular price is $13.99 which is a rip off and I will never buy it. I got them to blow my nose as I'm allergic and wanted something soft and I wanted them to be colored instead of the white I have. I have to fold them once for them to retract, but I think all tissues are like this when you blow your nose over them. They are great for my needs but I would only buy them on sale.
