Save on paper towels by using round coffee filters instead. They are the size of your hand which is the area you generally use on a paper towel. You can buy filters unbleached too, if you prefer. You get plenty per pack for a dollar and they have a million uses.
As I use them I just set out a new s "section" (they are sort of packaged in layers), on the counter so they are right where I need them.
