You can save your money BUT if your only living for saving money what's your quality of life going to be. I had this same conversation with my brother last week. I come from a family of extreme savers, it's in my gene pool. But I'm saving to get the things so I can enjoy my life. My BIL has been sleeping on the exact same boxspring / mattress since before the 90's. He's so damn cheap he won't go buy himself a new set, I don't ever want to be that way. I bought mine in 93.  I don't understand why I would get a new one. It's super comfy. I've always kept a mattress pad/protector on it and it's black, so even if it had stains on it you can't see them. <MPL ponders whether she should really be hanging out on MMM forum> |

and what happens when you dry your face with the part of the towel he used to dry his a$$?  I use 2 towels per shower and use them a max of 3 times.....I have a giant linen closet and can have towels for 20 in there. I'm not sharing my towels with anyone! Again, I'm assuming we're clean. Who the heck shoves the towel up into their anus? For me, it's not about saving money, I just don't see the point of washing towels so often. LMAO!!! Are you new here? I'd say at least Archie and Bob Ross do. In the old days I'd have said Dark but he's a maybe now.  |

I use two towels a week (hair and body) and hubs uses one. We have plenty of towels, it's just a time and kind of money thing (getting quarters is mildly irritating!) since we have a coin-operated laundry room in the basement. I'd much rather do one monthly load of towels than two. I use a separate towel for my hair as well. But it's one of those smaller, chamois types that absorbs more water so theoretically less blow drying time. So clearly, I am the frugalest! LOL
Towels are changed out at least once a week, maybe more, and we don't share. At least for me and the honey. The boys are teens, they can figure out when to get a new towel and put the old one in the hamper, I don't micromanage that process. However, I know their father will occasionally change them for them. He's a coddler.
Washcloths are definitely single use, because of the whole wash your face first and then you butt thing. Who wants to start over at the face after that?? No.

OK, laundry. How much laundry do people do On my homeschooling forum there are often threads about routines and schedule and on ever single post there are "I do 2-3 loads of laundry a day" I don't get that. I have 3 kids who get VERY messy. I still only do a few loads a week. So, even if the entire family shared one towel, I would probably save 10 laundries a year or something. How? Do you send a lot of stuff out for dry cleaning?
Sheets are a load a week all by themselves. Ditto towels. Then clothes for a week for 5 people.

Washclothes are FACE ONLY, I have the scrubber pouf thing for everything else. |

I have never been to the MMM forum... I don't think I'd fit in very well there.
I like the blog but not so much the forums.

I don't blow dry anymore. I shower, dry off, dress, drive to work, then do my hair and makeup. My hair is dry by the time I arrive. |

Second of all, I'd still be starting over with it on my other body parts. Washcloth: face, butt - IN THAT ORDER! Poof: all the other bits.

No, no dry cleaning. I don't wash bedding weekly, every other week. I don't know....my kids don't change all their outfits daily. Especially in the winter time. I don't work, so I am not changing 3 different outfits daily either. Also, kids' clothes are very small (for now), so it doesn't take much in the washer and doesn't fill it up. |

We are poof people. My wife and I share a poof. The poof is used for everything except the face (which is done with hands and soap). The poof hangs in the shower to dry. |

Is everyone pooping so violently that they have to scrub their b-holes? That's some delicate skin there!
