People Are Sharing Things They Used To Buy Regularly But Now Never Do
@marisasav_ asked people on TikTok what's one thing they used to buy regularly that they'll never buy again.
@marisasav_/
For her, it was paper towels.
"We used to buy paper towels pretty much every week. We used to spend, I don't even know how much on them, and we will never buy paper towels again. We use napkins, we use t-shirt rags, we've created a system to phase paper towels completely out of our lifestyle," she explained.
"A six-pack of paper towels at Target costs an average of $20-22. So, that would mean about $3 per roll on paper towels. If the average American household goes through one roll of paper towels of week, you are looking at over $150 on something you literally use once and throw away over and over and over again," she continued. "This was actually one of the first sustainable switches we made in our home."
People in the comments are sharing products they've also abandoned, and here's what they had to say:
sheets
plates
drinks
coffee
paper
