I rarely use paper towels. I keep a dishcloth beside the sink and use it to wipe the counter, wipe out the sink etc.

I do this too, but it started out as an environmental thing I inherited from my mother. The frugal aspect only occurred to me after I'd been living on my own for a while, and realized how much everything costs.
