Final Thoughts
Depending on your priorities & what’s most important to you, you can decide what one you want to get! Honestly, you cant’t go wrong because they were all great towels & I’ll continue to use them all in my kitchen!
For the most bang for your buck, you can’t beat the Town & Country Living towels from Costco! I think they switch up the patterns with holidays, so check your store or buy online!
For the cutest prints, I would go with either Geometry or Desert Aqua!
