Will It Wipe? Testing North 40 Flyer

Again, this is a WIPE test, NOT a flush test.  Do not flush TP-Alternatives

AND: WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS!!

And now for our 3rd contestant

NORTH 40 flier
I can't find a picture of a flier from there but it's like a farm-n-fleet sort of store.  They send me a weekly sale flier.  Or maybe it's monthly.  Doesn't matter.  You know what I mean.

PREP:
Bit slick..that's not promising.  In trying to soften it up, it broke apart into smaller chunks of paper...hmmm.

SCRATCH FACTOR:  2/5
Not soft, but not scratchy.  Similar to the grocery store flier.

EASE OF USE:  2/5
Breaking apart in my hands during prep made it harder to keep it in a coherent wad for use.

PAPER-CUT SAFETY:  2.5/5
I don't THINK anyone will get cut, but there are lots more edges than other things thus far tested due to the breakage during the prep phase.

ABSORBENCY:  2/5
Not great.  It WILL absorb liquid...but slowly.

CLEANSING POWER:  3/5
Bit rough, it will clean with some effort.

AVAILABILITY:  2/5
You only get one a week, or is it a month, and it is a sizable flyer with several pages.  Maybe 6 wipes from that flier by separating the sheets.  But, barely worth it I think.  At least not now while I have other options and those mullein leaves are growing.

Bold Name of Tested Product COMPOSITE SCORE: 13.5/30

Suggestions...anyone?  Anyone?
Beuller? Beuller?
