Do you use a napkin when you have a meal?

My mother always had such nice linen dinner napkins on the table when we had dinner at her house. I always laughed and said we must be expecting the Kennedy's to join us...which became a running gag at her dinner table for years. Now that she has passed away I took them all and although I'll probably never use them (maybe just on holiday's when my kids come over for dinner ). I do buy the paper napkins once in awhile but not always and when I have food delivered in I usually use the napkins that are put in the bag.
Are you a napkin user? Do you ever use linen or cotton napkins or do you stick to paper?

We don't use them unless we have them or it comes in the bag when we order out. Mostly when i'm home and I need to wipe my hands i'll either wash them or grab a paper towel. The cloth napkins would def save you on money :) Cause I know when I am eatting something messy I use alot of papertowels or napkins. (whatever I have)

I'm in the habit of using paper towels too and it does waste money. But then throwing paper napkins away isn't very good for environment is it?

My family have always used paper napkins during our meals. It's much easier to dispose.

I totally agree with you. It's easier to toss them away than to add them to my already large load of laundry.

We have disposable napkins that are in a napkin holder for anyone to take. That way it is just easy to grab more than one because some meals require that much lol!!

In regular dinner or the usual like at home we don't use table napkins or any napkins since we are not that used to it. We are only using that if there is occasion. But if we are in the restaurants that is a time that we are using a napkins.
