Less expensive alternatives to Kandoos (flushable wipes?)

I know, toilet paper. But it helps my kids to use pre-moistened wipes.  We have a pump and grinder system, so I definitely don't want to back it up with regular wipes.  I know I can search for something less expensive.  Just wondering if anyone already did that and what they use now.

    I like the scott tissue ones for my own butt. I buy them but I have no idea what they cost...

    also, target makes refil packs of the kandoo wipes- when I bought the kandoo wipes in the pop up container, I bought one pack of target brand refills, b/c they only had the kandoo ones in a super huge pack, and I had to make sure they were ok for her sensitive little behind.

    The target refill pack was 1. 27, I can't remember the price for the kandoo jumbo pack, but I think it was like 12 bucks or something?

    yeah- its a refil pack that fits the kandoo dispenser but it is up and up brand- 1.27 doesn't seem bad.. they were on the top shelf and in an orange pack, called todder wipes i think.

    We use Cottonelle wipes and get a big box at Costco.  I tried the Kandoos, and I thought they were pretty thin and also expensive.

    We use a store brand too. And they fit the Kandoo boxes. Have a look around I'm sure you'll find them.

    This is what we use.  It's about $12-$13 for a box of 340 wipes.

    Target, Wal-Mart and Kroger all have them for $1-1.50/pack of usually 40-50.  DH doesn't notice a difference between them, and they are thicker than the Kandoos.

    I get some at Costco where I can buy in bulk.  I think they're made by Scotts or something.  They're even safe for septic (which we have).  Check Walmart.  I think a bunch of toilet paper companies are making them now.
