Think of what happens with these in the end. You wipe up sauce spills. You use them as napkins. You flush them down the toilet. These are items that go in the trash and down the toilet. You should not be shelling out extra bucks for brand name on any of these. Your store’s generic package is likely just as good, so long as it offers the things you like, like two-ply and things like that.
