I serve my husband in ceramic plates, but my son and I eat in paper plates. LOL !

It's just easy to trash the plate and not having to wash it. Shame on me !  :-\
Yes. I like to save on dish washing. I do like to use the heavy duty ones. Dixie are the better ones.

We always have a stack of paper plates in the cupboard that are used pretty regularly. We use them to have a quick sandwich or for a light lunch; but we always use ceramic plates for our main meal later in the day.

I used to but it started to add up at the grocery store, so I now use regular glass dishes. I have a dishwasher at home, so it's not that bad!

I use them sometimes. It's just so convenient after a long day of work. But I try to mix it up and use both paper and ceramic plates to save money. I don't think there's anything wrong with using them occasionally.

I am guilty of using paper plates alot .. with only 2 of us I only run the dishwasher occasionally .. paper plates just make sense for easy stuff like toast or pizza .. If I am making a full blown dinner I use regular plates.

I buy the cheapest paper plates on the planet.  I use them for toast in the morning for breakfast.  The parrot likes to get one out of the cupboard for me.  He knows that the paper plate means a snack is forthcoming. My regular plates are too heavy for him.

We use to be paper plate junkies but I have tried to start using our ceramic ones to save on trash and the expense of buying them.

If I am eating something like a sandwich, I eat on a paper plate.  If I am eating a full meal, I use my dishes because it is easier.  Don't have to worry about washing, just put in dishwasher.

I don't like using paper plates to eat food.  I use my regular plates and it only takes a few minutes them to wash them.

Yes I use Styrofoam plates, so easy and really just as cheap as washing them. I guess I am lazy!
