I replaced the paper towel holder with a basket of small kitchen towels and I have a drawer to keep the rest as well as some rags. It works wonderfully. I keep a small basket in the pantry to throw the dirty ones. If we dont have paper towels in the house they dont get used! Try it!

It's great to see how good we can get at making things work with less. I noticed a lot of paper plates/products on all of your lists... Are you using them normally for quick meals or for kids to eat outside, or something else? I'm curious.<br/><a HREF="http://www.homemakerbarbi.com" REL="nofollow">Homemaker Barbi </a> Good for you all! It’s great to see how good we can get at making things work with less.

But even regular t.v. has trash on it. <br/>Eating out. Dh is the big one for this. And he always gets me when I am tired. Who wants to cook when your tired. Sandwiches are always good but he isn't a big sandwich guy:( or salads. I know this makes life hard. <br/>But know that we have a steady income b/c he works out now I will be making a budget. Any work that comes into the shop is extra for savings & paying off loans. I have also cut out paper products.

I am currently living MOSTLY without paper towels and disposable diapers. I also just did a post on making your own Swiffer duster refills. I just started a list on my blog of things to live without.

I'm trying to reduce our paper towels, but the kids seem to use them when I'm not looking. Once my current dryer sheets get used, I found a recipe to make homemade ones. Small things don't see like much, but when you figure up the cost monthly and then see how much you spend for a year, it can make you rethink some things.
