Are you spending money just to throw it in the trash?

Trade in those rolls of paper towels and those packages of paper napkins for washable, re-useable cloth, and put the savings to work on your homestead. For the cost of a roll of paper towels or a package of paper napkins, you can buy good quality, long-lasting cloth towels and napkins that will last for years – saving you hundreds of dollars each year.

To save even more money replace all paper goods (plates, cups, eating utensils, table clothes, etc.) with washable and re-useable ones and watch your savings grow even more.

    We’ve started doing this. I got tired of seeing money being tossed into the trash.

    Do you have any tips as what to do with all of the nasty rags while waiting for a full load to wash? I hate the smell and feeling of wet rags so I buy paper towels,but hate wasting money . Thank you

    I use dish towels exclusively instead of paper towels, so I have a few dozen in my kitchen drawer. As they get grungy I lay them out on the washing machine to dry then wash them once a week with white bath towels and floor mats.

    Drying them out seems to help keep down the smell.
