To paper towel or not to paper towel, that is a good question.


I ran out of paper towels the other day and I wondered, "How long can I go without them?"


I know there are people who don't use paper towels.


I did pretty good for a few days and then the dog peed on the floor. Well, I used an old wash cloth.


Then I wanted to wash the tray that goes in the toaster oven and it had grease in it from warming fried chicken. I did not know what to do. I didn't want grease on a cloth. I ended up going for toilet tissue. :)


I really hate buying paper towels. You can get the double rolls but the towels are thin. You can get regular sized rolles and they are thicker and the same price as the thin double rolls. It is really hard to find the best deal for the money. How much is it per sheet? ha. One cent? It takes too long to figure it all out. Then you have store brands that MIGHT be cheaper and I don't always buy them at the same place. It is probably the most frustrating thing for me to have to buy.


I ended up getting a really small roll of Viva Paper Towels. The are the most absorbant that I have found and I guess if I only need a small piece, I can tear it in half since it isn't the select-a-size which I really like. I had put an 8 pack in the buggy but ended up going for the Viva.


What kind of Paper Towels do you use if you even do. If you don't, tips would be greatly appreciated.

Got my apron.

I received my apron today from Chrissy at Meaningful Days. I won it when I participated in her Spring Cleaning Challenge. Thanks to my 5 years old son for taking my picture. LOL. We finally got a good one after about 20 takes. He kept cutting my head off. haha..




Thank you again Chrissy. I am sure I will enjoy this.
