Wilkinsons do 80 for 67p, Morrisons 72 for 67p. Admittedly the own brand type. If the tesco one are packs of 100s then they are cheaper (8 1/3p each vs. 8.375p for Wilkos)
I know, I should get out more!

Ah but it could be a false economy. 100 Morries baby wipes last me and my bicycles over a year. The active ingredient is the alcohol in the wipes and I would be surprised if you don't get significant osmotic loss through the packaging. So if pack #5 has dried out by year 6, you might be better getting individual packs every 14 months. But then you would have to factor in estimated price increases by year 6, and the opportunity cost of the multipack investment.....

But then you would get through them a lot quicker.

Guys be carefull because alcohol hardens gloss/enamel finishes thus causes cracks which is no good at all !
