Quit with the paper towels already...

When looking to save money we need to reflect on what items we use because we need them vs convenience. Paper towels are typically a convenience item. Yes, sometimes I can see them becoming a need based on grease and grime, but that is few and far between. Instead of using paper towels for hand drying and cleaning, use fabric towels and/or rags. Reality is, you are going to be doing laundry anyway, so how much more detergent and water does it really take to throw in a few extra towels/rags, probably none. If you can cut your paper towel consumption by at least 75% you will not only be helping the environment but also cutting one more expense out of your budget.
