No.  We use only regular washable plates.   Sometimes for birthdays we get the decorative paper plates for cake & whatever.

I have thought about using paper plates when I had a bunch of my little nieces & nephews over for a few days, it was nonstop dishes, even with a dishwasher.  I can see where a good quality (heavy duty) paper plate would come in handy then.  :)

Yes,  we use paper plates.   Its just the two of us.    100 plates from the big box stores lasts for months

It depends.  At home we normally use ceramic but we do have paper plates but those are mostly for letting others take home leftovers.  I suppose it depends on your reasoning for why you use them.

Yep, though we have proper plates. It's just easier, I guess.

We don't use paper plates unless I buy them. Most of the time we use regular plates.

I use paper plates, cups and utensils when we have a big family meal.  Otherwise, I probably wouldn't have enough dishes for everyone!  When it is just my husband and I home, we use the real dishes (especially since he washes them).
Have a wonderful day!

No...we don't use paper plates.  Just regular ceramic or plastic plates. We'll use paper plates for parties.

once in awhile, if its finger foods, or desert, and I have alot of people I will pull the paper plates out, since noone ever wants to do the dishes afterwards

We definitely do.Of course NOT for all meals.I prefer to have my steak and potatos on a nice dish.But paper plates both large and small come in handy.

Our dog is fed on them too.Just throw em away after usage.
