funny post on FB

I just had to share this since it made me chuckle tonight. Just read a post on a friends from highschool fb page talking about watching a show on TV about extreme cheapskates. She goes on to describe how a family from the show doesn't buy toilet paper.   

"Rather than toilet paper they use cloth scraps and wash them and reuse. I don't care if we are living in a van down by the river we will never give up toilet paper!"

She has like 10-12 comments on how gross that is....... Of course I just had to leave a comment myself. I think everyone already thinks I'm some ultra liberal weirdo so what the heck.   

Now I admit before joining the Pin I probably would have thought the same way and thought people were crazy, but now I am much more willing to check out new ideas.

 Yeah I don't admit that I use family cloth to most people.  I'm pretty open about most of my "odd" choices, but that one's harder to discuss for some reason

even AFTER i joined the pin i was sceptical about family cloth. but then, once i realized it isn't all that weird or gross i switched and haven't looked back!

Do it! It's pretty great, but you will become a weirdo in the real world for sure

I switched from paper napkins to cloth about two months ago. I never used paper towels except for pet puke and grease too.

For those of you using cloth instead of tp. Do you just keep a wet bag near by? How many do keep in stock.

I think it would be easier to cloth tp once LO is here since we will be doing more laundry anyway.

I have a basket on the toilet to hold the wipes and a wet bag with 2 snapping straps that hangs on my TP holder. It has a zipper that we use if there are guests in the house.
