To think kitchen roll is too expensive to use more than one sheet?

[reql]

I buy good kitchen roll because I find the own brand stuff to be rubbish. This means it can be 2-3 pence per sheet. I use it sparingly. I use a cloth to wipe things up, but you need kitchen roll sometimes.

DP loves the stuff. He uses multiple sheets at a time. For example, if he brought me a piece of fruit like a peach, he'd rip off two maybe three pieces of kitchen roll to use as a plate. If he spills something, he'll use a few sheets because he doesn't like the spilt food getting near his hands.

AIBU to think that this stuff, is too bloody expensive to use multiple sheets? He says I am a scrooge, and it's become a joke amongst friends not to use more than one sheet of kitchen roll.

I barely buy it. Close to £2 per roll where I am.

I was thinking this but couldn’t express it 😄 it’s the production of these things that are a problem so worrying about people wasting reams of it is pointless

YANBU

I’ve stopped buying it because DH, who uses proper handkerchiefs because he doesn’t like using tissue, was taking 3 sheets of kitchen towel. He’d fold the first 2 to blow his nose then use the third to fold over before putting it the bin.

He’s moved into using shed loads of loo roll now, I might stop buying that too 😡

My DH is like this with kitchen and bathroom sprays. He very rarely cleans but on the one occasion he does he Sprays half the bottle and washes it away instantly. He pours half a bottle of bleach down the loo and flushes it straight away.
He earns more than I do but I do all the shopping. If I ever say anything his answer is always I didn't think, he never thinks!

Just don't buy it. I never do. Cloths for the sides and I just wash my hands when I'm finished eating, I don't use napkins.

I only have kitchen roll for visitors. Can't say when I last bought a pack other than it was definitely pre-pandemic.. Otherwise it's washable cloths. Washables do SO much better a job of actually cleaning up. And you just chuck in the wash and reuse time and time again. I have very very pretty ones too. Made a load.

It's a DH thing - mine uses loads, he'll use 3 sheets to give his nose a small blow ffs

I clicked yabu because the posh stuff really isnt necessary. And a much better choice altogether is to just use a cloth and bung it in the washing machine as necessary.

Oh wow I didn’t realise kitchen roll was so controversial!
I always have a roll on the go, it’s ideal for cat puke/bird insides.
Thinking about it I only really use it for cat related gross mess clean up.

Like others,never use the stuff. Use cloths.

We are at peak gross with babies (tummy bugs, explosions, germs). We do buy the decent non-plastic stuff but that just makes it even more expensive.

I ended up cutting up a couple of old t-shirts and things that weren't fit for the charity. I haven't bothered hemming them or anything but it made an astonishingly big pile, which I rinse through when practical or throw if not. Once we're through the pile I'll try to move permanently to washable cloths. But it has really worked as an interim.
