When you have a cold or are suffering from allergies, tissues are a must-have, but the cost can rack up when you're buying them all the time. Have you ever considered using toilet paper instead? Here are a few good reasons why you should.
We've all grabbed a few squares from the bathroom roll in a pinch, but using toilet paper over tissues is actually a more cost-effective choice in the long run. On average, a box of tissues has 65 sheets and breaks down to about 2 cents per sheet. However, a roll of toilet paper has nearly four times as many sheets as a box of tissues and costs half as much.

I’m using paper towels as I type - Achoo...
“I use paper towels.”
I was going to say the same.
Inexpensive paper towels are great.
One can honk all day long and still have a million sheets left.
“Save more money by using both sides.”
LOL!!!
Better still, how about just the fingers?
LOL!!!

My cats do the same. I can’t get mad at them since they are having their kitty play fun.
What I did was to take TP of the roller and place the TP elsewhere out of their reach.
Same here. When I get a cold, paper towels last longer and soaks up more snot.
Plus it doesnt break up when blowing.
I’m glad to see I’m not the only one using paper towels. A little hanky might be OK for a dainty sneeze or a very mild dripping nose but just one of my sneezes would fill it up. Bandanas don’t last much longer.
well, Hankys seem a little disgusting. A person is shoving a wet square of germ and snot infested cloth into their pockets. Yuk...
You are not alone....
“I use paper towels.”
Another vote for paper towels, but to save even more money, I use the free blue or brown ones you get by the gas pump. My nose has developed a mighty callous.”
I get napkins at fast food joints and use them for kleenex.
