Seven-Eleven will let me bring my own thermal travel mug into the store to brew my cup of tea, and they'll even give me a discount on the price because I'm not using their cup.

We probably don't use more than three or four rolls of paper towels in a whole year now. I have a bundle of inexpensive wash cloths I bought at Sam's club that we dampen and use at mealtime for hand wiping, and that are grabbed for occasional mop up of spills. There were 50 or 60 cloths in the bundle for about $10. (We started this as a practical thing when the kids were little and just kept it up as they got big).
