Some washcloths are made of questionable fabric and do not soak up what you've spilled onto a surface.

That's a good point. I've bought cheap dish towels before that only smeared the water around.

I found some Handiwipes today at the dollar store. I didn't know they still made those things! I bought several to test and see how they work out. They won't last as long as towels, I'm sure, so I'll still get something else. It was more of a reminiscing thing.

I began sending lunches to school with my daughter after having been singed with a 42 dollar bill. I said to her, "I thought I just gave you 40 dollars?" She said, yeah well it's $2.50 per day. (Wow what an oversight on my part.) Anyway, I know how much the picky one eats and no way is she scarfing down two and a half bucks worth of cafeteria food. I sent her to school today with a salad, a small piece of lasagna and a bottle of water when yummy fruit is in season, she will get that in her lunch. (She brought back half of the salad.) Total cost? Almost a dollar, and she finished the salad before bed. She drinks milk in the evening and in the morning, so she doesn't need milk at lunch.
