The Frugal Goose

This is somewhat of an anti frugal post, but I seem to be using a lot more paper towels these days. I’m not sure if this is some kind of amazing American culture revelation or just me being an OCD clean freak. Either way I notice a lot more use of paper towels, paper napkins, etc. these days. Are we feeling the need to become a cleaner society? Whatever happened to the whole green movement and using less resources?

Anyway, if you must have your hands be constantly clean like me, go with the cheap generic paper towel brands. I’ve had the same if not better success with these over pricey name brand textured or thicker paper towels. Often if you buy in bulk as in 3+ rolls it ends up being cheaper than a single roll. I’d say a saving of 10-20 cents per roll on average. Paper towels in general are really just handy tools in the kitchen, I don’t think I can go without them.
