Title: Do you match your paper cups to paper plates?
Post by: MichelleHW101 on November 29, 2011, 02:46:51 pm
I’ve always used the Dixie Ultra stuff and whenever I can I like to find designs that match.  Especially this time of year when they break out with the holiday prints like the poinsettias.  Those red napkins are always pretty this time of year and then when I get the matching plates and cups.  I know it’s all trash in the end but at least it can look nice while I use it.

No I don't. In fact hardly use any.

I don't because in our family we buy whatever is a sale going on.  So we use whatever available.  And we only use it when we do BBQ.

i don't think i've ever bought paper cups for myself
at home, and i always get the plain white plates if
i buy a pack, since they're generally cheaper than
the patterns.

I dont buy paper cups, only paper plates and that too only occasionally, so no worries about matching stuff.

We don't use disposable cups or dishes, but the real ones we have don't match at all.

I guess I care more about function than I do about looks or whether they match or not.

I use the Marie's Salad Dressing jars for glasses.  I guess I like those, because I know what sizes they are in ounces.  That way, so I can keep up with how much water I drink, and whether I'm drinking enough water.

I use paper plates but prefer plastic cups so they never match.

I don't generally use them. In the past, we've used plastic cups but it was typically for something 'special' like a get together. On the off chance I do use plastic cups or paper plates, I honestly couldn't care less if they match in the slightest.  ;D

I only match them if they're on sale at the same time.  Other than that, I prefer to use the generic Walmart brands because the price is always right.  Hey, paper is paper and plastic is plastic.  I prefer to save my own paper by purchasing the cheapest plastic....

We don't use paper plates or cups. I think that's a huge waste of money, as we are trying to find as many ways to not spend money and do things for ourselves.

Yes, but I always buy plain white colors.  I do have different color napkins with it.  It looks nice on the table even it is not glass or plastic.

I tried for our daughter's wedding, but got White so it really didn't matter. I think it's cute if you can do it...

Yes, mine usually match.  I buy white, styrofoam plates and cups.

I don't buy paper plates or cups myself. I use (only occasionally) what my mother-in-laws gives me so they don't match at all :)

I seldom buy paper cups or its accessories.  But when I do use them, I always match them.  I like eclectic, but let's get real.
