If you use a lot of paper towels you might be interested.
For years my sister has used paper napkins (the cheap kind) for things for which I normally use paper towels or Kleenex. I always fuss, as I'm the sort who likes everything in its place, and napkins are for meal time, Kleenex are for noses, and paper towels for for cleaning up spills and such.
I finally got around to doing a cost comparison. I didn't dig deeply. I know there are different brands, different qualities, different sheet sizes of all three paper items. I just worked out the cost per sheet for a regular Bounty paper towel, a single Kleenex brand tissue, and a generic brand of cheap dinner napkins.
It turns out you can use three Kleenex, or FOUR napkins, for the cost of one paper towel. So I may put a stack of napkins in my cleaning bucket instead of the roll of paper towels I carry around now.
