Reader Lauren has an alternative to the cost and waste of using paper napkins and an alternative to expensive cloth napkins also:
My family uses wash clothes for napkins. You can get packs of 20 for $5 at Walmart and they have lasted us a long time! It is nice not having the added expense of paper napkins, not to mentions cutting back on waste!
Don’t forget, I’m always looking for your best money saving tip, so please share!
Be sure to catch up on all the previous Let’s Save Some Money posts.

I bought some fabric and sewed cloth napkins. I let the kids choose patterns they liked. I am horrible at sewing but managed to make some passable napkins. We use those instead of paper! Some are closer standard size while others are small… easier for the kids to handle!
