Are Tranquility ATN's really the best bang for your buck option?

My bladder incontinence is relatively new but I also don't have the funds to buy a bunch of different brands to find out the best of the best right now. I already know that store brands suck, Northshore MegaMax is universally loved, and I learned I can't depend on Depends.

After doing some research a while back I chose to get a bulk case of Tranquility ATN's which were pretty decent for only $0.49/brief after many discount codes, but I would for sure need to get a size up next time (if there is a next time)

Are there any hidden gems or other brands out there that stay below $1.50/brief and have super high absorbency that doesn't leak much?
