That's great!
I am not sure we have ever particularly bought napkins, paper towels, and plastic bags. We also stay away from disposable cleaning products (I have a pile of rags/ old wash cloths for cleaning).
What we have been trying to do lately is buy more food in bulk (i.e. apple sauce and yogurt). If you think about it, not everything has to be bought in a serving-size portion. We use small, reusable plastic containers for lunches, etc.
Knock on wood, but I don't think my kindergartener has lost one item either. I figured we may switch to zip lock for a while (thinking it may get expensive with lost containers), but he's done well.
