    Buying less is 'more money in your bank account'.
    Many people use disposable paper plates and cups.
    Less messy places. Keeps your home clean all the time.
    Some use public restrooms. Saving on 'expensive items'
    like soap, tissue and paper towels.

How are disposable plates and cups less expensive than real plates and cups? You have to keep buying more when you run out. That's so wasteful.

Using paper plates and cups as well as plastic utensils is very bad for the environment.  Also, you don't need to use near as much laundry detergent as they tell you usually. Additionally, I quit using laundry softeners about 5 years ago.  They coat your clothing with residue that builds after a while.  They are useless for the most part.

As long as it's a quality item, I agree with using less.  Some dish detergent is mostly water and I like suds when I do dishes etc.

My dish soap doesn't take a lot. I can use very little and make it last. It wasn't free. I bought it. But, some people are too impatient with anything to use it with caution.

If I think a load of clothes need more detergent,  I am going to add more to get my clothes clean enough.

I use disposable dishes for convenience during birthday parties and holidays but plan to use less disposables in the future out of consideration for the environment.


    Buying less is 'more money in your bank account'.
    Many people use disposable paper plates and cups.
    Less messy places. Keeps your home clean all the time.
    Some use public restrooms. Saving on 'expensive items'
    like soap, tissue and paper towels.

I definitely try my best not to use too much of these products. But sometimes, especially if I'm rushing, I'll use too much.

I cannot remember the last time I purchased paper plates, cups or plastic silverware.  I bought some small plastic plates that are microwavable at Ikea and they work great and was a money saver.

I only support myself and another family member. As a result, we have very small laundry loads and use small amounts of shampoo, detergent, etc.

However, I hope to start a family of my own someday. Time to start thinking about opening a Costco account, LOL. But I digress.

Less is more, in my opinion. Use what you have around your home as sparingly as possible. Anyway, that is just my opinion.
