I don't use paper towels or paper napkins and I get my cloth napkins at the thrift store. When the kids were little I saved all shape boxes and we would paint and decorate them for a little town. We got a new washer and I used the box for an indoor play house. When the sides began to give way, I turned it on it's side and the kids used it as a slide with the help of a step stool. They had fun with that box for the whole winter. Summer came and we took someone else's box they were throwing out and all the kids had fun in our yard.
