How to Break the Paper Towel Habit On “Thrifty Thursday” I thought I would address the subject of paper towel waste. I decided that this was another area where I could save a few more pennies. Paper towels wipe up small messes and are just tossed into the trash…hence you can just imagine hearing the little “cha-ching” going on at the paper towel manufacturers.
