1. Paper Towels:

Paper towels are EXPENSIVE and they end up in the trash anyways, right? You might as well throw your money in the trash. Unless you are getting paper towels fairly cheap after sales and coupons, you can live without buying paper towels. Instead, buy a few packs of “bar mops.” You can get these from Wal-mart or even Bed Bath and Beyond for about $5.00 for a pack. I have about 20 of these and they last a long time. Just make sure you throw some bleach in every now and then when you are washing them. I keep a set in my kitchen and a set in my bathroom for quick cleaning (to keep them separate, you can use a magic marker to write a B for bathroom or K for kitchen) on them. Worth the investment. I do keep some paper towels in the back of the cabinet for special guests, holidays, etc. but I haven’t bought any in a LONG time.

 

 

2. Trash Bags:
 
Where do trash bags end up? In the trash—just like the paper towels. Stop wasting money and try this alternative. Buy small trash cans from the Dollar Store or Wal-mart. Recycle plastic grocery bags and line the can with them. Now you don’t have to buy trash bags anymore! This is another item I have not purchased in a LONG time and probably won’t unless I find it absolutely necessary! For larger families, you may need larger trash cans and use the oversized department store bags–or just take your trash out several times a day.
